NOTE: this is not a mod solution or an xbox 360 hack. this works purely using the extensibility points of Media Center and freely available tools from MS. i.e. no warranties will be voided. and when Vista MCE comes out, we'll be able to radically improve this. aren't APIs wonderful?"</i><br /><br />If you have an Xbox 360 and a lot of DivX content, you'll want to check out these step by step instructions to allow them to work together.

All this work and 300W PC and 160W x360 running just to watch some lousy Van Damme movie?

Heck, it'd be more difficult and wasteful only if you had to stilt jump around your house three times to get the flick running and then turn on all the sinks in your house while watching :?
