The hack doesn't do that directly. Hacking allows homebrew (XBMC) to run, XBMC has all the common and not-so-common codecs including MKV. I am very impressed with MKV's support of multiple subtitles, I guess DivX or other formats can also include subtitles but I haven't encounter a subtitled DivX file yet or at least I haven't realized I have. Anyhow, I can't wait for workday to be over so i can start the hack. I am not a real hacker (even calling myself script kiddie might be generous), I give myself a 50/50 to finish this weekend. > I have an un-modded XBox 360 and Media Center on my computer so I can > record TV on the computer and stream it to the TV.

I found out that neither has sufficient coverage of common codecs as hacked Apple TV or Xbox one. It seems a little less work and slightly cheaper to try with an Xbox One. Apple TV needs extra hacks to output Dolby 5.1 and High-def, while Xbox supports 1080i (enough for me) and TOSLINK out of the box. Rant: XBox 360 not supporting MS's own AVI is just ridiculous. Anyway I think by the time I run the Xbox/XBMC to the ground, bleeding-edge products like the Popcorn Hour http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/ will be cheap, powerful and stable.

I would suggest taking a look back at the history of MG and PG Seed kits. It could be a long wait for MG Exia. And I don't get the feeling that the first 13 eps of G00 has achieved comparable popularity as the first quarter of Seed, so I am not buying into the inevitability of MG/PG G00 kits just yet. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
