New clients can easily be added to the environment and connected to the MediaPortal 2 Server for immediate use. The modern client/server architecture in combination with the central database greatly simplifies the use and management of the system. Integrated news, weather information and management for your digital images complete this software package. MediaPortal also provides access to online video sources such as Amazon Prime. actor, director and much more) that are automatically downloaded from the internet. Besides its TV and Radio services it is also offering a complete media management for movies, series and music, including posters, album and fan art as well as additional metadata (e.g. MediaPortal is a full-blown media center software that addresses the most common user requirements out of the box. Two internal physical hard drives will also be even faster.Using MediaPortal, you can listen to your favorite music and radio watch your videos and DVDs or view, schedule and record live TV, much like a digital video recorder such as TiVo, but better. Just editing mpeg2 (HD or SD) and saving in the same format will be as fast as your hard drive can read and write. I think you should be able to edit your current recordings with VideoReDo as long as they are not copy protected. Of course, Mediaportal is probably not certified for cablecard so it would not work at all. Cablecard tuners would also dump the raw stream on the hard drive, usually mpeg2 HD, but they might all be copy protected. This all assumes that you are in the USA and not using a Free-To-Air (FTA) satellite card.
To the best of my knowledge, Media Center only worked with hardware cards and did not do any software encoding. If you are currently using Media Center, then the files are either mpeg2 (standard definition) from a tuner with a built in encoder or mpeg2 (high definition) streams saved directly to the drive with no changes. The type of tuner, rather than the recording software, will probably determine the type of HD file that you are saving, along with the source - Over The Air (OTA), cable, or satellite.
