I really like Ember but it doesn't run well on my computer. It took me a while just to get it to install and now it shuts down after 5 minutes of being open. I could make it work for me even though it's a little painful. I'm going to get flogged for this but is there a commercial product out there that does what Ember does? I don't mind spending some money to save myself some time. Don't get me wrong free is great and ember is a stellar product but I want something that I can depend on and for me its not working well.

Nope, not as far as I know. And if Ember isn't working then it's something with your computer, as it's working fine (excluding the website going down, etc), for everyone else. I'd work on figuring out what on your computer is causing the problems.

Dude, seriously, perhaps you might consider being a little more constructive seeing as how ember is, like xbmc, a free product which other people have devoted their labours too.
Perhaps you should contribute some bug fixes yourself or if you're unable you might like to make a donation.

If both crash with you, it may be your computer and not EMM or MC2? Both are running well for me on Win7-32.
Anyhow, to answer your question: nothing commercial out there, which is equally good as EMM. XMM2 is worth a try, XMM3 is supposingly going to be the new benchmark (but may take months until it is out).

Do you have .NET installed on your computer? It's necessary...

I love Media Companion. And it's only going to get better as the developer has moved it to an open source model.
