If anyone lazy to encode DVDs, can buy off-the-shelf solutions like Sony's DVD jukebox.

Anyways...

Do anyone of you use the MyTV and the EPG?

String, got ur DI-784 up and running yet? How's the performance.

If anyone want to stream DIVX to the 360, can try the latest version of Transcode360. So far tested ok with my downloaded eps.

Thanks PJ.

I'm working on an EPG for Astro.... hang tight.

There two solutions for streaming Divx encoded movies to the 360.

mceDivX360
and
Transcode360

Of the two Transcode360 is the best if you want a hassle free solution.

What error did it say?

In the media extender when you select a movie, press the INFO button, select More, then Transcode.

BUT...

If you have Windows XP Media Center Edition it'll download the Media Center Extender.
If you have Windows XP Home/Pro, it'll download Windows Media Connect.

To get the Media Center Extender you must have Windows XP Media Center Edition installed.

What router/firewall?

Chin, what does the error says?

I missed this one earlier.

Transcode 360 Beta 4.1 Released

This new release of Transcode 360 features a user interface for managing your settings as well as a number of substantial improvements:
User Interface - Settings

There is a new 'Automatic' installation option that will run T360 in the task notification area (system tray); this makes configuration super-easy and mitigates the network permissions issues some users encountered.

Both 2 and 6 channel (5.1) AC3 is supported and the AV sync issue affecting NTSC content has been fixed. Note that due to reliability issues Forward/Backward Skip are disabled while streaming AC3 soundtracks.

In addition to regular playback of XviD and DivX, Transcode 360 supports DVD ISO and VIDEO_TS folder streaming with subtitles; determining the best combination of soundtrack/subtitles appropriate to you based on your locale.

Good clips to show off that full XBOX360 + Media Center PC HD experience.

Wired or wireless?
