A video transcoding utility was released late last week that
would enable the playback of unsupported video over Xbox 360 and Media
Center Extender devices. This software is designed to run on Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005.
Transcode is completely free for non-commercial use. You can download the software from this site.
Mark Manes, the creator of ChannelGuide 360 when asked about whether
ChannelGuide 360 would not incorporate vodcasts and other video sources
that are encoded in DivX or XViD responded with the following. “Right
now the majority of vodcasts are in either QuickTime or MPEG-4 format.
We’re keeping the focus on developing Windows Media Video content so
that additional tools are not required to watch the content we catalog
in our guide. We are of course excited to see the development efforts
continue on tools such as Transcode 360.”
