Hey i have a question for anyone who has an xbox 360 as their media center. I was going to get a dvico tvix 4100. what i want to know is

1) can it stream high def content from my pc or external hard drive? For instance if i have a mkv file how is the codec handled?

2) Can i create my own playlist ie with my own description of the video and my own image?

i dont think the hard drive on the xbox 360 is big enough to hold all my movies so i assume i can connect to a network and move and delete files?

Thanks for any info basically i want to be able to play my movies and want to know how the quality of it is and how good a media center it is?

Using either a program called TVersity or ORB. Unless they can convert it to WMA then your out of luck. I know DivX and VOB files work although the quality was less then stellar.

2) Can i create my own playlist ie with my own description of the video and my own image?

Not that i am aware of but i am not 100% sure. I know you could do that with Nero and then just play that file in the 360 after Nero has transcoded it and made the menu's/image you want.

To be honest if you want better quality a regular modded Xbox is a much better media center (with XBMC) then the 360 is as it can upscale to 720P.
