Will win7 still play tv recordings made with vista (with/without tv pack)?

Yup, Ultimate comes bundled with Media Centre.
Yes I know but will it still play the stuff I've got recorded from Vista?

Not sure what format they are in, can't see why not? Media centre is the same in both Vista/7. Its the same framework.
Basic vista/xpmce are dvr-ms, tv pack changed them to wtv.
I think I read that tv pack was taken from the win7 build but was just checking before I decide to install 7.
Life wouldn't be worth living if 7 couldn't play her collection of bloody detective series.

Yup, both TV Pack and pre TV Pack.

If you want to play Win7 recordings on a pre TV Pack Vista, you need to do a convert back to old format (Win7 has built in converter to do this)
Cheers Jaime, looks like the media centre is becoming a test pilot for 7 then.

I do like Media Centre, but because my media server uses Wifi it can be a pain, it needs a decent wired link really.

Its fine on a decent wireless bridge. USB dongles are always a bit naff.

Any operating system will play any crap if you have the right codec installed.

MCE is a pure rip of XBMC, and the latter has always been free.

I prefer mce to xbmc.  Additionally mce is free with most versions of windows anyway
