Stream DivX movies to your Xbox 360 using MediaCenter
>> Well not really, the Xbox 360 will still not accept an DivX/XviD stream, but using this method you can convert your DivX/XviD videos to WMV on-the-fly while it's streaming to your Xbox360. You will of course still need a Windows MediaCenter PC, the real-time converting will put some load on your host PC and there might be some quality loss ... but overall it's easier than (re-)converting all your videos manually. Best choice would still be to use your old modded Xbox and XboxMediaCenter(info) of course :-)

This article shows how to stream DivX (and XviD) movies to an Xbox 360 using a Media Center. For the picky people, it doesn't actually stream DivX... it converts to WMV on the fly to stream.
The core process for accomplishing this is taken from a thread found on the Xbox forums: Playing DivX movies without having to Re-encode, through media centre. This works fine, but has the disadvantage that you have to manually set up the encoding process on your Media Center and then move over to the Xbox 360 to watch it. So all this article really does is provide an MCE interface so you can control everything from your Xbox 360 being used as an MCE Extender. i.e. its for lazy people. It was also an excuse for me to write a ListMaker AddIn for MCE ... which i hadn't done yet.
