Setting up my HTPC from scratch
Hi all
Hope you all are doing well. I am in a bit of a pickle. I built my HTPC software experience using Ezoden's guide which used to be located at http://www.ezoden.com/684/tutorial-htpc This site is no longer active and I am trying to find the author so I can offer to host the site for him free of charge, it was great and I used it twice to get my settings in order. I have recently rebuilt my pc and I want to get hold of the tutorial once again. Is there anyone who still has access to the tutorial or a similar one that I could use? I would really appreciate any help that you guys can give me. Thanks. |

Thank you MokrySedeS and Dorohedoro
@Dorohedoro, are you aware of a more up to date version of a similar tutorial anywhere? It would be best to get all the information in one go which this tutorial did provide. Tips, techniques, software to download with URLs, settings for each profile including 4K and Nvidia settings. Much appreciated. |

So, the best is you to configure all the options slowly and asking along the way if you don't know what to do, it's the best way for you (you will learn) and for your setup (you will get a better setup for your equipment). For example, the first step in your case should be to install the lav filters, a player of your choice and of course, madvr. And if you are starting from scratch, you should use win8.1, it's the best for madvr right now (I'm using win7 and I happy with it). |

Easy tutorial.
You install MPC-HC (or BE), LAV FIlters and madVR. You change settings in MPC to your liking, then you're good to go. And if you really have time to improve image quality, you might want to go in madVR options, and learn more with this: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=171787 NO, there are no way to have optimal settings without reading a lot (and then you need time). |

I think he just paraphrased Madshi, who said 8.1 was the recommended OS for multimedia PC (for now ?).
But nothing prevents you to use Windows 10, especially if you prefer to be with recent updates/OS. Anyhow, sooner or later, Win 8.1 will be dropped by MS, nVidia etc. |
