I was thinking of using powerDVD as my HTPC operating system...then I read Jon's review and am not sure what to think. Some people think it's the best thing going right now, but others are on Jon's side of the fence with winDVD...can the hardware make a difference in the performance of these competing software packages? Will one work better than the other with scaling software?
I'm going to take delivery of a good projector with hi-res capabilities in the next 3 weeks, and I need to start building a HTPC very soon.
I'm beginning to gather facts. So far I've gather the need for high speed (at least 700mhz) a GeForce video card, a large hard drive because digital video recording is in testing.
The questions I have are many, but one deals with flexibility: Is there a video switching system that can be added to the HTPC that will allow for a second or third video input...so those inputs can be scaled by the HTPC?
