The onus is still on Microsoft to make to expand the streaming functionality IMO, rather than making us rely on transcoding and decent PCs, least of all Windows. I can maybe understand their reluctance to implement DivX and XviD, but how about MPEG-2 so that I can stream DVB recordings? Or basic MPEG-4? AVC? DV? Encoding to any of those is less of a pain than WMV, especially since I'm on a Mac. It’s a start.

I guess i'll be stuck w/ encoding my Divx to WMV to play on the 360. Tho its faster to just make a VCD.

Maybe thats how you heard about it too? Glad to see you support it though. :) Great find, I saw this on xbox-scene a few days ago and was going to give it a try.
