I don't like this so much. It requires too powerful of a pc and is a waste or money for a feature Microsoft should have included. This software transcodes on-the-fly, which means it converts it as you watch it. This eats up a lot of the power of a machine that is single core, and if not done properly (which may mean manually setting CPU affinity) it could slow down a dual core machine too. This is a very duct-tape like solution.
i tried this yesterday. uninstalled it in less than an hour. it doesn't work.first off, you need admin rights. so, if you're a smart windows user, who logs in under a limited account, you're screwed--or, at least, you have to log out and log in anytime you want to watch something.finally, IT DOESN'T DO ITS JOB! i tried opening the latest studio 60 i downloaded, and got an error message that said,"Can't play this content because it may not be supported. For more info, go to www.xbox.com/support."and, yes, i did install ffdshow and ffdsplitter. it's just some half-ass hacker s**t that doesn't work.
can it stream a transcoding to the 360?i know it can transcode, but i'd like to be able to do both. if so, then, yeah, it'd be infinitely times easier than this s**t (sorry).
Uhm, Maybe tversity was updated after the post but...All I needed was Tversity to convert on the fly from my Mac Pro running OSX with Windows XP via Parallels. Not a bad solution until Connect360 which I already paid for will transcode itself.
DivX is just a video compression format, meaning it does not determine whether the stream can be 5.1 surround or not. Normally DivX is bundled with audio which is compressed by a different format, such as AAC, in a container file such as .AVI. So basically you have two data streams in a single file, and whether or not you have 5.1 is determined by the audio compression and NOT DivX.Whether or not TVersity can decode AAC 5 channel audio and re-encode it into WMV's audio compression format (wma?) while keeping all the channels intact is a completely different battle.

Xianfrost is a waste of space. He should be banned from the planet
