This would be the best Christmas ever (with a Zune HD at my house)!
It didn't get any of the MediaInfo. Without the Media Info (video height, video width, audio codec, audio bitrate) it won't work. Hmm... I don't have an x64 version of Windows to try. Email me directly and I'll get you to help me test out an updated version with x64 support.

@extinctdoughnut - I think the problem is that there is not x64 version of the MediaInfo DLL. The code actually looks for it but there is no x64 version included with DVRMSToolbox. I think you can manually download the x64 version of MediaInfo DLL and put in in this path "$\Applications\MediaInfo\X64\MediaInfo.dll" ($ = the DVRMSToolbox install directory you used) and it should work.
I would say one of the main drivers for developing the solution in the first place was extenders. I use extenders primarily in my household and I want a consistent experience from extender to extender to PC.
Once you get the process setup it's very simple. It actually gives you a 1-click solution to convert MKV's into the most compatible format for Windows Media Center - the native DVR-MS.

I have everything centralized on my Media Center and Home Server. Whenever a movie shows up in Media Browser now there is no question as to whether or not it will work. Works every time with smooth fast forward and rewind. Works on my Media Center PC and on both of my $100 Linksys extenders.
Great post Ben. Me and the whole My Network Project crew will be down at CEDIA this year. I really hope something happens!
I really wanted this one to compliment my wife's Kindle 2, but the price is no where near my range. I think I will be an eReader consumer in about 2 more iterations.
I am a HUGE fan of all the Engadget Live Blogging posts. During every Apple keynote and E3 Press Conference I always have Engadget up and running. So hard for me to pick one particular post so I just put in an example.

PLEASE keep the live blogging going. I also enjoy the small commentary that is inserted during the live reporting.

I would love to have one. This will allow me to put the xbox in a closet and reduce the noise when using it as a Media Center Extender.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
