all my DivX and Xvid videos work... even with surround sound!
Thanks Microsoft!
we'll see what it is after December 4
streaming is easier for us users who have a lot of content and more than one HDD.
obviously, many ppl don't understand how this works.
this media center application is seperate and independent from all the updates announced. it is basically an extension of your windows OS (WinXP Media Center Edition or Vista Home Premium/Ultimate)available on all Xbox 360s. It can make your 360 act as a cablebox/DVR and such like, and is supposed to play any file from your Media Center Computer. However, for the users who'd rather use it than the features embedded in the dashboard, ...
wow! those are some very good points.
Question: has the xbox 360 media center application ever been updated since its release?
it'll not be necessary now that all available computers or servers will show up in the media tab. I think the "Windows-based PC" tab was there to allow you to diconnect/connect to another pc.
i can't believe someone disagreed...
anyway, it's in the long list. read before disagreeing
" What is the "real" max bit rate, resolution, and frames per second that you support for all the different formats?
Xbox 360 does not specifically block video from playing based on a maximum bit rate, resolution, or frames per second. The maximums listed above for each codec are what we have tested for various video playback sources. Higher rated content will not be blocked, but playback may be less then optimal. Use higher bitrates at your own risk."
it will... if the external drive has been formatted in FAT32 or as a Mac drive. it won't read NTFS drives
they will be playable if they meet the size requirements[4 GB]. I read that somewhere in the long list.
I've been waiting all month for this press release! Good job Microsoft!
Bye Bye Transcode360..! you have served well
They could add it through a media center update. I'm thinking that this will be available soon, since they announced DivX support for Media Center Extenders.
The Blu-ray Assc really believe that consumers will accept the death of HD DVD because they said so? If you're one of those consumers, I encourage you to think for yourself. I see this as a cover for the upcoming confusion to be caused by the new BD profiles.
I think the Blu-ray assc should purchase Ad evaluation reports from Apple's "Mac vs. PC" campaign before they take this route.
After all, this is a gaming site and most gamers use PCs, so we know how succe...
now that's kinda desperate.
why is this article so one-sided and biased?
would you assume that? both systems are well capable of doing this. And... this is the Xbox 360 version. notice the blue X and green A buttons.
It's not. Not that it's not a great game, but you can get in on ebay for just a few bucks.
Is it just me or does anyone else think that microsoft needs to reveal more information on a fall update?[if there is one]
This stuff that they're revealing is not exciting to everyone.
can u recharge your wireless controller via PC?
spiral of silence theory?
blu-ray supporters need to stop trying to talk HD DVD to death and get ready for the fight. consumers still have a choice, right?!
displayed since June! It's been around for a while but not many ppl have seen it. checkt it out here: http://arstechnica.com/news...
Yeah... you must stream them through Windows media player 11. I think it's even easier than going through Media Center Extender. In the media bar under "Videos" you should see the option to change the source by pressing X. if your PC(s) is/are hooked up to your network they should show up.
Only DivX 5 and upward is supported.
