Video capabilities within the Media Center
Utilizing the Windows Presentation Foundation (previously code-named Avalon) within Windows Vista, images within the Media Center truly shine. Tight integration with the Windows Vista Picture library allows you to view digital snapshots via your home-theater system's HDTV. But don't stop there. You can also resize thumbnails of digital files and perform basic editing functions, such as rotating or lightening darkened images, from within either the Picture Library or Media Center. And you can jazz up your slide shows with music from your Media Center Music library. Unfortunately, while the Windows Vista Media Center supports many common image file formats, it does not currently provide support for displaying RAW format images, a format used by many popular digital cameras.
Windows Vista Windows Movie Maker also integrates with Windows Media Center. The Windows Movie Maker now supports high-definition video. Import and edit your own home videos from any HD camcorder, then watch the final cut via any Media Center Extender on your big-screen home-theater system. Windows Vista Media Center also integrates with Windows Vista's native CD- or DVD-burning feature, which can be accessed via your television's remote control.
