If you are running Windows 7 and use your 360 as an extender you can now play .mkv files and play videos larger than 4gb! :clap: No transcoding! I also noticed the audio was playing in 5.1 also.

You have to use the Windows Media Center on the 360 to do so. You must also install AC3 filter, Divx 7 (free from their site) and Haali Media Splitter on your pc.

I noticed I could also play VIDEO_TS files whereas I could not before. Don't know if that's new or I was doing something wrong before.

None of this will work thru the Video Library only Windows Media Center.

Enjoy!

Sounds very cool...still wish the Xbox had a web browser though- that'd be the icing on the cake.

Cool. I'll probably take advantage of this every now and then, once I build my new desktop.

I've been using it a great deal since building my new PC. having a nice gaming PC has more or less relegated my 360 to media center duties.
