Excellent post, by the way.]]>Dec 8th 2005 4:09PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/
as for stuttering, I do not believe it has to do with compression on either side; a wireless connection is inherenitly unstable and is probably the culprit.

actually, i would rather pose the question: i understand the effect from interlaced CRTs, but does it also apply to progressive sets?]]>Dec 8th 2005 6:10PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/I find it ironic (and damn funny) that the video file of this is QuickTime format, covering a Microsoft product. Tee hee.

Does that ATI card and MCE allow you to record the multi-channel AC3 audio that comes with most HD show? ie. does it record all 6 channels or just stereo? Also, when playing back on the 360, would it be in 5.1?

Thanks.]]>Dec 9th 2005 11:31AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/Dec 9th 2005 12:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/
How does MCE stream the video? I wouldn't be surprised to see that it's actually using WMC under the hood!

This means I may just have to rebuild my primary desktop as a Media Center build (even though I don't have a tuner - just to get the streaming).

Has anyone tried to use 360 + Vista ? The Vista Beta, which is "ultimate" edition, has Media Center functionality built in. I'd be curious to know if that works as well... I may be able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone when Beta 2 comes out.]]>Dec 9th 2005 2:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/
Kevin said: "Tim, the 360 and the WMCE PC actually are using Windows Media Connect to stream audio and video. There's a WMCE update required for the 360, but it is WMC. If you're looking for a tuner (or a way upgrade a base WMCE machine), we just did a whole series of posts starting here: http://www.hdbeat.com/2005/11/21/sub-grand-wmce-the-base-system/"

Curiously, I still can't seem to stream video with WMC. Maybe I'm just missing something, but when I go to video on the menu the I only have the option to play from hard drive. I don't get the choice of where to play from like I do with music and photos.

According to Xbox.com (http://www.xbox.com/pcsetup), this is probably the expected behavior.

"Connect to a computer running Windows Media Center and:

* Listen to your music collection
* View pictures
* Watch live TV
* Pause and replay live TV
* Record TV shows then watch them later
* Watch Videos
* Download and watch movies
* Buy music online

Connect to a computer running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and:

* Listen to your music collection
* View pictures"

I'm not looking at adding a tuner to my computer (I've already abandoned the MCE - see, e.g., http://slashstar.com/blogs/tim/archive/2004/12/29/1175.aspx). I just want to be able to play videos over WMC! What angers me most is that this seems like BS crippling of functionality to preserve a unique selling point for MCE.]]>Dec 11th 2005 2:00AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/http://hd.engadget.com/2005/12/08/video-of-streaming-hdtv-to-an-xbox-360/Nov 25th 2007 12:45AM
