has nobody tried using FFDSHOW yet? :/

make sure it doesn't overwrite the WMV codecs but apparently IT SHOULD PLAY DivX/Xvid

(i've only said it 5000 times now, but apparently it does work)

I don't get what you mean or how I would try it. I'm willing to give it a go though, but I don't know where to start.

Videora is nice, but as it was previously mentioned, its MPEG2 only. Great for a quick solution, but terrible for an archive. Any other programs? TMPGEnc Xpress is susposed to work to get to WMV including 5.1 audio, but it errors with Xvid content.

FFDshow is basically an all-in-one decoder/post processing package type dealie for windows. I've been told by many people that it works in media center (as long as you don't install any windows media codecs which would kill media center) just type FFdshow in google


edit: !! ahh! apparently it only works in all MCE versions EXCEPT 2005. Bummer.

edit2: or... maybe it does work though on a case to case basis *shrug*

I'll find out soon enough when i upgrade my PC in the next month

Even if it works in a windows media Center PC, what good would that be for the Xbox 360? You would have to install codecs on the 360, to be able to play divx, xvid etc. on it.. Unless I'm missing something here...

no, because the 360 only plays the video/audio stream. A media center PC decodes/encodes on the fly and the extender decodes it again.

How come I can play divx on my media center PC, and not on the Xbox 360?... I don't get it... I installed the normal divx codec..
