I'm not sure that there exist any solution that would be considered "easy".
I think it still is LVDS that is used to drive screens in Laptops.

Google "hdmi to lvds converter" and a few Pi related references pops up.

Without more info about the codecs used in you avi file its quite hard to answer.

Output from GSpot or Mediainfo on windows or from ffmpeg on Linux would be helpful.

Re: Play video file from USB disk is lagging

Have you tested your disks with your mediaplayer earlier ? Like shared from your PC ?

You could install and use "dstat" to check your CPU & Memory usage together with IO.

Re: How MUCH is XBMC/PVR working for others/you?

How many have an network enable HD tuner anyway.
How many of those people own a PI.
How many of them again have tried XBMC on their PI.
And how many of them again actually reads the PI forums on a daily basis...

If you haven't started to feel alone yet, you should.. ;-)

Re: ImageWriter might break my sd...?

And the 60mb reported on windows is just becasuse windows only see the small FAT32 partition where the firmware and bootconfiguration is stored. The other partition which contains the linux part can probably be managed with "disk-management" in Windows.

Re: USB Hub driver?

All the necessary hub-drivers are probably already included in Rasbian.

Most likely this is a power-problem, your hub needs to have its own powersupply, does it ?

Re: hardware accelleration in Qt framework or QtonPi ?

I'm not really an expert here but I have played with QtonPi. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJufNmvoxtI ) We already have accelerated OpenGL ES which Qt5 will use for SceneGraph rendering, which is seen in my video an many others. For accelerating the standard Qt gui, I guess that is dependent on ...

Re: Internal S/N via raspbian wheezy

The command line window you are looking for is called a "terminal" og "shell" in the application list. Are you running the standard Rasbian image ? Then I guess its LXTerminal ( http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXTerminal ) you are looking for. I think you also could press alt-ctrl-F1 (or F2) to get a fullsc...

Re: How do I configure Codeblocks to run on RPi.

It would be really helpful if you include the output from compiling/running the program, its the error messages that will give us the hints about what could be wrong.

And how simple/complicated is the program you try to run ? Is it a simple HelloWorld or does it rely on some specific libraries.

When using qmlscene in newer builds of Qt5 i discovered that the banding looks much better if you add the "--transparent" option to qmlscene.

I have no idea why.
