It automatically downloads and makes use of relevant TV and Movie posters, DVD and Blu-ray cover art, backdrops, fan contributed artwork, ratings and a host of other metadata to create a media rich view of your content.

Media Browser will also pull the latest movie trailers and video podcasts from the Internet, comes with a number of high quality themes for changing the colour scheme and layout of content and best of all, is completely free!

Head over to mediabrowser.tv to learn more about the latest release of the app, which has been released this week. It convinced me to cut the cable and go with Media Center full time in the living room as our DVR, and we haven’t looked back since.

In amongst a plethora of 3D TVs, sewing machines, jet washers and coffee makers (the scope of this show is wide) I was surprised to see Acer showing a home theatre PC. But not like those old-school monolithic beasts you may remember from years gone by. Oh no.

The Acer Revo Multimedia PC is one of a new breed of small, silent and powerful HTPCs designed for the Living Room. You may think that the future of Connected TV is slotting an Ethernet cable directly in the back of your screen, or via a set-top box with a groovy name, but a small footprint PC offers more power, more flexibility and fantastic entertainment experiences with platforms like Windows Media Center, XBMC and Boxee.

The Revo RL-100 looks like any other consumer electronics device in your TV cabinet, with DVD and Blu-ray options so you can replace those devices for a start. It’s powered by an AMD Athlon Neo II dual-core processor combined with NVIDIA’s ION GPU for 1080P high definition streaming. Connect it up to your TV or receiver courtesy of the HDMI and optical out ports and enjoy the hybrid TV tuner, 4GB DDR3 RAM, 500GB Hard drive, 802.11n wireless and Gigabit LAN all integrated in the box. Plug in, switch on and enjoy Live and Recorded TV, online video plus music, video and photos streamed across your local network. 

But wait, there’s more! See that copper button under the Blu-ray drive? Hit it and out pops an illuminated multi-touch controller, which serves as remote control, wireless touchpad and keyboard. No one’s typing their next novel on this, but it’s ideal for web searching, tweeting, and the instant messaging. I know what you’re thinking – it’s going to chew batteries, isn’t it? Nope, it recharges when plugged back into the mother ship.

Expect to see the RL-100 is part of a suite of digital home products unveiled by Acer this month as they seek to invade living rooms all over the world. With this kind of kit, my door’s already open.

It's hard to believe it's been 10+ years of DVD as a format and for me. I was a student in the first DVD authoring class in history at the Vancouver Film School in the summer of 1997, running an extremely pre-release version of Scenarist on the SGI O2. My old friend Halstead York and I also worked with Intel to build what we believe was the first ever DVD authored end-to-end DVD created on the desktop, using one of the first DVD-R for Authoring burners in the country.

It was amazing how quickly we went from scary big iron solutions to something that consumers could knock out for themselves over the weekend. And here we are again, with things going even faster in the HD era. ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/benwagg/Ive-been-elected-to-the-Board-of-Directors-of-the-DVD-Association The DVD Association (DVDA) has just held its election, and I've been elected as a member of the Board of Directors.
