Stream Xvid & Divx From Mac to Xbox

Speaking of media extenders, I’m digging the Xbox 360 Dashboard refresh in conjunction with the updated Connect360. By utilizing UPnP on Mac OS X, Connect360 mimics PC Windows Media Player functionality in streaming content to the Xbox. I’ve played with it before to send pics and music to my 360, but this is the first time I’ve streamed video (Xvid) – it worked very well with the SD .avi content. I’m not sure if I’ll pony up the $20 license fee, as my MacBook Pro usually sits on the coffee table just a few feet away from the entertainment center… I’ve got plenty of USB sticks and I usually close the MBP when watching the plasma.
