The service is called Xbox Live Video, and the fall update enables customers to spend their Microsoft points on standard and HD television from CBS, MTV..."

TV for "purchase" only."I guess you can add not being able to read to your list of faults.

Pay for TV again?... no thanks.It is nice to have the option though... I really love what MS is doing with Live, Keep it up.

Speaking from the prespective of a guy that owns an Xbox 360, let me be the first to beg Microsoft not to make these video downloads like 10,000 Xbox live points.

Looks like the people who got a core system will actually WIN. If they now want to purchase the "rumored" larger HD they will be ahead of those of us who have the wimpy 20GB drive. Plus most likely they'll already have a memory card so transferring save files will be easily done.

Just an update in case anyone actually cares...The Matrix took 9+ hours to rip to WMW. It was 1.3 GB in size and appears to have preserved the 5.1 audio track. Time to go buy a larger hard disk drive.The tools I used are : DVD-WVM ( www.dvd-wmv.com ) Which requires Windows Media Encoder (search at google for the download at Microsoft.com).I'm watching it now and its good. I love it. The only drawback is that I can't select chapters.Also I can't seem to extract arbitrary tracks with DVD-WMV. I'd appreciate being able to extract extra features, etc, in addition to the main title track.
