>> From Ced2911 via xbox-360.logic-sunrise.com: [QUOTE] The famous coder Ced2911 has been working on 2 polular homebrew projects over the last few weeks before taking a break. However he wants to release the sources of all his work so others can take a look at it and make it better.
You'll find the sources of the FFmpeg libs working perfectly for 720p MKV and DiVX, however it still requires work on the interface. It's essential to say this video player has no relation to that other team trying to port codec libs to the Xbox 360.
The 2nd project Ced2911 is working on is an update to his Emerald Dashboard with support for Kinect as you can see in the video below [/QUOTE]

Team Xecuter: MOLEXT - Molex On The Move
>> From team-xecuter.com: [QUOTE] We would like to give a big shout out to the guys to our friends over at XCONSOLES.COM who sent us a brand new product from the USA called the “MOLEXT” which will be right up your street if you are a mobile modder with an X360USB PRO
The scene has been crying out for a portable Molex device that is both high performing and high quality at the same time without busting the bank balance.
Designed and Made in the good ‘ole USA, this unassuming little gizmo knocked our socks off at Xecuter HQ with its outstanding performance ! We expected to get maybe 5 or 10 good flashes of a drive (including a full eject cycle just to give the 12v a solid workout). Boy, were we wrong.
With just 2 alkaline 9v batteries we were able to do 112 drive flashes before the battery indicators started to go red !!!
Out of all the DIY portable molex devices we have ever tested – this is the first professionally manufactured product that is as good as it gets and is a must for any serious mobile modder, because lets face it if you are a pro and you are mobile, in all probability you own a laptop or netbook already and you want to be flashing 10 drives in 10 minutes – not 2 hours, right ?
We can’t wait for these to be on sale to the public. We’re told that Radio Shack are looking to pick these up and there are will also be a distribution program setup for other wholesalers and retailers.
We will look at buying a large quantity for our X360USB PRO customers so we will be able to save you a few $$.
Features: * Portable Molex Power Supply * 2 x 9v Alkaline Batteries * AC/DC Pass through (Wall socket / Car Adapter etc) * Dual Battery Power Level LED indicators (Green:Good, Orange:OK, Red: Change Battery) * High end circuit giving outstanding battery performance * Power Status LED * Made In The USA * ….and of course Xecuter tested and approved
We will let you know as soon as production starts – and it looks like the RRP is going to be around $29.95

New DVD Drive Found: Liteon DG-16D4S 0401
>> Paintball9 reported on our forums he found a new revision of the Liteon DG-16D4S drive in his 4GB Slim Xbox360 console. The drive is manufactured in March 2011, comes with firmware version 0401 and hardware version A0A0
[QUOTE] So, Hooked up jungleflasher, to see what it would do, and nothin plain nothin. Shows up in bios (even as a boot option although i havnt actually tried booting from it) but jungleflasher reports nothing in any of my ports, just the main os drive. I've even used this machine to do my hitachi earlier and it worked fine, so maybe this is another mode-b kinda setup on this drive. [/QUOTE]
