Hey all, just wondering if anyone knows an add on that would allow me to edit the video of my recordings inside WMC?
Thanks for your time.

Yeah DRM blows, as evidenced by this pic I made a long time ago.
And, any program that supports it follows in its blowiness.
But, I figured out I can convert the files with VLC so they're not infected with DRM so all is well.
Thanks for the replies. :)

Actually having been stuck at home sick for the past couple of days, I have renewed respect for NMTV. It does actually work very well considering how poor a lot of the streaming services are. 4oD seems to be particularly bad, frequently failing after the first ad break and displaying a black screen...

That Buy Music option in Media Center has never worked properly to my knowledge and I don't know why its still in there. I agree it seems a no brainer to have the Zune Marketplace content available inside of Media Center. I personally wouldn't use it MS need to lower their prices first.
