Two MCE2005 questions

[hebawom]

1. I want to use my HTPC exclusivley by the windows remote control. When I press the PC on/off button on the remote, it just puts it in standby, can I change this is shut the machine off?

2. I notice that during a DVD that the lip-sync gets a tiny tiny bit out (miliseconds) would reclock help with this, and is it easy to use?

Anyone? I only have one hour left at work to recieve any advice???

You can choose shut down as an option with the remote when exiting MCE

Can you do a delay with your amp?

If you use MCE2005 as a TiVo-like PVR, its designed to be left on standby permanently and never switched off. If you have asked Media Center to record a TV programme or series, it will automatically wake up from standby when the recording is about to start, and revert to standby when the recording is finished. If you turn the PC off completely, the programmes won't be recorded!

If you aren't getting any options when you press the pc power button on the remote then you need to go to Control Panel|Power Options select the Advanced Tab and in the When I Press the Power button on my computer drop down, select the Ask me what to do option. This will then allow you to select Close mce, restart, shutdown or standby.

I you use the Nvidia DVD codecs this allows you to time delay the audio output thereby eliminating any lipsinc errors. :smashin:

That seems like a bit of a work-around. I wanted to sort of the cause of the problem, not the effects. Why does it slightly lose the sync? Is there a program that can constantly make sure the video and audio tracks are together? Thats why I was asking about ReClock?
