XP Media Center by Reaper on 04-12-2006 at 10:38 PM
i read that media programs that only come with the Media Center OS are available for other versions of XP. does anyone know where i can get these from?
Note: apparently this is not legit, so admins/mods please lock this thread if you feel it is inappropriate looks like it is legit

This is legit. Besides the MCE UI, they threw in Plus! DME, which you can get here:

So MS Plus! will give me the apps that are in Media Centre?
RE: XP Media Center by TReKiE on 04-12-2006 at 10:51 PM
No, Plus DME gives you the extra goodies they give you in Media Center which I assumed what was you were referring to.
What exactly are you looking for? The actual Media Center user interface, recording service and so on isn't worth the time and effort to find and try transplanting into your present version of XP if that's what you mean.

I meant the music, image and video software it comes bundled with, and it seems that Plus! has all of that

Yeah, those are the "goodies". But Movie Maker 2.0 is already in Windows (go to WindowsUpdate if you don't have the latest), and Photo Story can be found here -- http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalp...story/default.mspx.
There really isn't anything big time different in MCE.

there is a free open source version of Media center somewhere, it looked just as good as MS MCE and i think it had more features

Media Portal.
.It looks suspiciously like the built in media centre thing in Windows XP MCE

The team developing it is lead by the man that founded the Xbox Media Centre project. It is just an open source clone of the program in the Windows Media Center operating system.
