Connect360 3.2 now streams DivX / Xvid for Mac


Connect360 -- software that allows gamers to stream video, music, and movies from their Mac to their 360 -- has been updated to accommodate the new codecs introduced in the recent Fall Update. In other words, Connect360 3.2 will allow anyone to stream DivX or Xvid right to their television. The full application will run you $20, though the update is free to existing users. We haven't tried it out ourselves, but our cantankerous controllers over at Joystiq claim that the app outperforms Microsoft's official Windows streaming. Anyone else out there care to testify?

Another petition for Divx / Xvid support

Normally these petition efforts collapse under the crushing weight of futility, but this one, demanding Divx / Xvid support, already has over 3200 signatures.

DivX streaming solution for 360 using MCE

Last time we heard from Casey at brains-N-brawn he had written a Media Center AddIn to control Windows Media Center with the wired Xbox 360 controller. Now he's back at it, crafting together a solution to get your DivX or XviD files to play through your MCE on the Xbox 360. He's quick to point out this is a software solution, and not a mod. "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."

The system works by transcoding, in realtime, your non-compatible formats into Windows Media files on a Media Center PC, making them readable by the 360. A clever solution to a problem that Microsoft insists doesn't exist. I'm sure I'm not the only one who was glad to see a solution was discovered that didn't involve all kinds of h4x0ring; Microsoft's Major Nelson even acknowledged it, calling it a "hacky way of doing it." I'm pretty sure that means "clever as a bag of ferrets."

[Thanks, Casey and Jake]
