@Eric : You should read the wikipedia article you reference

"The "DivX" brand is distinct from "DIVX" (Digital Video Express), an unrelated attempt by the U.S. retailer Circuit City to develop a DVD rental system"

The codec support would be nice especailly now that TiVo supports this codec also offically. It would be nice to do some thing without a work around.

I hope this is true. I'm tired of having to transcode all my videos.

What I really hope the fall update does is allow people who are still on child accounts, but are now over 18 to get rid of said child account.

I bet they will find a way to charge for it. I guess I would pay for it, but not more than $15.

I hope they add Xvid support along with other formats. I can't even watch most of the video files on my PC on my 360 because it doesn't support them.

Forget licensing issues and all their associated costs, because the first console to sort this issue out and allow for the console to act as a comprehensive media streamer (without transcoding) will strike a huge blow to their competitors.

I would guess there are alot of people out there (me being one) whose main use for their 360 is not games, and currently there are much better products (read: easier to use)out there that are much cheaper.

Once you go through the hassle of transcoding, the 360 does do the job well which is one saving grace.

For the best transcoding program out there IMO, try here: http://dcunningham.net/

Support for xvid/divx makes sense as MS has announced that the 3rd party 2nd Gen Media Center Extenders that should be available this fall will have full support for both. I'd be surprised if they didn't keep the Extender software on the 360 at least as up to date as the MS licensed Extenders. I just wish they'd confirm this in advance - hell it's the only reason I have a 360 and the transcoding method is crap when you have a high number of videos.

I'm not hugely fussed about the Xvid support (although it would be nice) but I would like to see some extra resolutions added to VGA support. Namely the 1680x1050 resolution of 20" widescreen PC monitors.

I've been using Tversity to watch all my downloaded video files, and it hasn't had a single issue for me. The only hiccup is that it takes about 5-10 seconds for the video to start playing when you press play, otherwise, it plays smoothly, and looks great on my HDTV.

If you run Windows, you can pretty much watch any video you want on your Xbox 360, using a nifty little bit of code known as Encode360, which you can find here: http://dcunningham.net/encode360/. Enjoy!
