If you really want to use vmc with tv pack for h.264/avc recordings then you need to install the hacked version of the ms tv codec from the beta build.
I'm on tapatalk now but a google search should hopefully bring up a link, I'll try and post a link later if not.

Hello thanks!
I found this page:http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/guides ... hd-uk.html
Copy MSDTVVDEC.DLL in System32 folder and change registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media Center\Settings\TVConfig change the value of "fAllowDvbsMHEG" from 0 to 1 and reboot pc.
Mediacenter playing for video.

Other problem:
Scan for channel in mce vista. Why not found HDTV? Other channel found (not hd tv, pay channel and normal digital broadcast tv and radio).
Thanks.
