Copy/Back up Blu-ray movies to TViX M-7000 at 1080p

XBMC Media Center (which was formerly named Xbox Media Center) is a free and open source cross-platform media player and home entertainment system software with a 10-foot user interface designed for the living-room TV. Its graphical user interface allows the user to easily manage movie, video, photos, podcasts, and music from a computer, optical disk, local network, and the internet using a remote control.



While XBMC functions very well as a standard media player application for your computer, it has been designed to be the perfect companion for your HTPC and NAS. The free multimedia player XBMC is much favored by Xbox owners, especially for its wide range of video and audio codec.
