If you have an old XBox hanging around, it is relatively easy to softmod it and install XBox Media Center on it. You have to buy a little bit of specialized hardware (a specific game and a memory card or USB adapter), but you don't have to open your XBox or make any hardware mods. And XBMC can play a bunch of different video formats, including DivX & XviD.

XBMC is the best. We modded our old xbox a couple years back. Great for any xvid, dvix or any type of other video that may come around.

Maybe they should word on MPEG2 and MPEG4 first. ;)
I hear what you mean.........but XVid is MPEG-4....so is DiVX.

I'm hoping that when D* opens up video sharing/playback from PC (non-ViiV/MCE too !!) that they will allow all types of formats.....first clearly needs to be all versions of MPEG (MPG, IFO/VOB, etc.). I'm since alot of folks have movies stored in DVD format so I'm crossing my fingers D* will allow/enable Video_TS.IFO playback which runs the many VOBs (MPEG-2 file) that make up a single movie. :up:

I'm sure the masses would want AVI playback for the home movies that are captured.
