my last avr was blown out by lightning a year ago. I am looking at a yamaha v6a and it has 2.1 hdmi ports. I am on the east coast of the USA. I don't know how shipping costs would affect what you would charge, but I am concerned about the size of the card and the power usage. What do you use for a p...

for pinball machines have you researched a Linux solution? Yes, but I'm currently hampered by my compiler software. Only recently has Embarcadero added support for compiling for Linux, but they hide this feature behind a very expensive paywall (thousands of dollars per year in licensing), and to ma...

Hi Paul,

I don't know anything on pinball machines or light weight window installations but I will throw this out there. Sorry about your mother by the way. I know that for her use that she probably needs a stripped down windows but for pinball machines have you researched a Linux solution?

I have been thinking of getting a 3070 which seems to be the sweet spot for power usage and also have the ability to handle the latest premiere pro features. I am not a gamer as I said earlier neither do I push premiere to it's limits. I have an older version of premiere now but it would be much eas...

When I speak of the more power hungry modern cards I am talking about the Nvidia 4000 series. I am at the moment thinking of a higher end 3000 series. I haven't ruled out and I do have more experience with amd. I just hear about people constantly complaining about the amd drivers. This pc will be a ...

Hi Manni, I am using red October jrvr for blurays and the I like how good the picture looks so I'll stick with ro jrvr for blurays. With ro jrvr I always get a a black screen and after a few seconds an echoing effect with dvds. I think jrvr is crashing in this particular instance. When I changed the...

Not your problem Paul. I had to change the video mode from Red October JRVR to Red October standard. When I did this both blurays and dvds worked properly. Red October Jrvr is the default. Strange the blurays work great in that mode and DVDs don't. I don't have a gpu in either machine. Just intel HD...

I would say that it is a jriver issue since mc 22. A number of people complained about this problem but hendrick blew it off as a windows issue, driver issue, or madvr. I don't use madvr yet on these two machines. If someone else can play a dvd properly with jriver 22 - 31 I am okay with their resul...

It must be jriver or that cmc had a parameter for jriver that doesn't work with my setup. If manni does not have the same issue, dvds play well for him, then we can move on. Like I said I have been using mpc-be for dvd movies and series.

I checked mmcm, unraid, and it appears that all my dvd are set for dvd folders
