True, that posting questions on a forum is usually harder than a two-way
conversation and you do need to be clear, but sometimes too much information
is a problem also -- such as mentioning Vista, Handbrake, TVersity, etc.,
But to get to the questions asked by Sven, there is no transfer of files to
the Extender, it doesn't have any storage capacity. If you are just
wondering what files are supported by MCX (beside the native recorded TV),
here is a link to an MS page with list:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ile-types.aspx
As to which to use, it depends on your preference of quality vs size, using
a wireless network is slower than a hardwire, so that could cause issues if
the videos are stored in a very high res. format.
