Advantages: User Friendly, Easy to Use, Value for Money, Comprehensive Operating System. Disadvantages: Poor Documentation, Titanic Struggle Installing Operating System
...Windows Software is fairly straightforward. Not so with Windows Media Center 2005. The Setup guide supplied with the software will provide you with various configurations for your HTPC, unfortunately, it will not give you any help with loading the software. It took me a number of days to get this installed on my system only to stumble across the information I needed to complete the installation by visiting a forum.
A note for anyone purchasing this software. Make sure that your system is fully compatible by visiting the Microsoft website otherwise you may find the software will not load.
When asked for the SP2 CD, re-insert Media Center Disc One as this is where it is located. Do not insert a seperate standalone Service Pack 2 CD or other copy of the software as this will not work and the software will not be installed.

Advantages: free software, plays most formats Disadvantages: microsoft, is a huge file to download
...located at: windowsupdate.microsft.com. Or the Windows Media Player can be downloaded from the Windows Media Player Website located at: www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia.
The latest version is Windows Media Player version 7.1, this is for Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows Me, and Windows 2000. There is a different version for Windows XP, but I will not be going into that. The only problem with downloading the Windows Media player is that it is about 10 MB in size, which takes a long time to download if you have a slow modem (in fact Microsoft estimate that at 28.8 kb it will take 49 minutes to download). I didn't have this problem, as I use Windows Media Player at work it downloaded in about 2 minutes, tee hee!

...on the field mapping with the Adobe formats.
The web site includes a wealth of useful information and includes a user forum where you can ask questions, share experiences and generally get the best out of the software.
Issues
I found Media Pro to be generally fast, bug free and easy to use. The only real problem is some odd behaviour when cataloguing CDs full of images making it hard to tell which CD holds which image. IView are aware of this and investigating so a fix should be available soon.
Another minor quibble is the lack of JPEG2000 support although to be fair, this is a limitation of the current PC version of QuickTime which MediaPro uses for access to come file types.
Conclusion
IView Media Pro 2.5 is not cheap on the face of it. However, if you have a lot of digital media to work with, particularly photographs or audio...
