That is also what makes MC14 the best media software out there as far as I&rsquo;m concerned, as it&rsquo;s the only one I&rsquo;ve come across that truly removes the need for any other application (maybe with the exception of tagging). It will rip, burn, import music, images and video, edit photos, interface with TV tuners, network locations, control network devices, use remotes- basically everything. I truly believe that a PC running Windows with nothing but MC14 would serve as a complete media center PC with everything you&rsquo;d ever need. J. River has simply crammed so much into the application that you don&rsquo;t need to outsource anything."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1270509905.usr10.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>If Windows Media Center isn't doing it for you, check out this review of&nbsp;J. River Media Center 14. &nbsp;One thing I didn't see covered which is usually a concern for me is what video formats are supported. &nbsp;Nothing frustrates me more than not having the correct plug-in to play a video. &nbsp;</p>
