VLC is horrible with HD playback.

vlc is only for the audio section.

You want to get an X264/H.264 decoder called CoreAVC it's by a long shot the best There are some other programs I like better but can't think of the names right now. Currently I use Media Portal for all my music/movie playback. It works fantastic.

ok thanks. I will check into it.
If you recall the others, I am all ears !

Thanks again.

What I am trying to do is play the movie back in the computer, output the video to a projector and the audio to the Home theater receiver for Dolby digital. Problem is the receiver is in the other room and the only in wall connection currently is via a Cat5e network. I want to send the audio signal over the network to the receiver if possible.

Thanks again

I think Media Portal may be good for you then. If you have an MCE remote (windows media center) you can use it with Media Portal and it's a great HT front end so you don't have to use the mouse and keyboard and all that Best of all it's open source!

MCE remote ?

Is that windows Media Center Derver ?

Not familar with MCE

@ questions

First, I have Windows XP PRO and it does not have Media Center. Is there a way to add Media Center ?

Secondly, If Windows Media Center cannot be added, is there another product equal to or better than it with equivalent functions ?

Thanks

Yes windows media center. You don't need media center I was just saying you can use the media center remote (look on newegg) with Media Portal which I find to be much better then MCE. The other product is what I was talking about You want to install CoreAVC for your decoder stuff then probably FFDShow and then Media portal. Set it up to work with you new MCE remote. CoreAVC is like 15 bucks I think, FFDShow and Media portal are free. The remote shouldn't be more then 50 bucks depending on which one you get as there are some rather nice ones. If you have a harmony remote then you just need the MCE IR receiver so don't worry to much about the quality of the remote that it comes with.
