1080p is completely f’d over component. the output shows as 1080p on my projector yet it’s like a 720p window with a 1080p image not scaled to fit?

i lose like 1/2 the screen and it’s really huge. how’d they screw that up?

Maybe becouse not everyone can do that, for instance I can’t… I have a 10 year old 50HZ tv (big screen though) but I CAN’T Connect my computer, so I CANT watch movies on my television… This is For Me the only way…

(though I don’t really care that much for DivX and Xvid support… i’ll just convert the movies I wanna see… altough it would be easyer if it would just be able to use DivX / Xvid)

because ppl find its easy to watch downloaded films and tv shows..heh rather then blame MS for not supporting the format maybe rippers should start encoding in WMV.. heh.

I don’t understand why everybody is bitching about divx support. Just hook Your computer up to the telly, why go via the xbox to watch a movie?

yah i dont know what you’re talking about. I’ve used MP11 for like 2 months now. And you just go to mircosoft.com and it says try Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2 now!

Heres the link since you’re obviously having problems…

Improved visual display of text in themes.

YES THANK YOU.

Improved support for games to better handle host migration in multi-player matches.

That sounds nice. I have no idea what it means, but it sounds nice.

The rest doesn’t bother me a whole lot other than faster blades, which is great, but I can’t wait to see how it looks. New visual UIs are always great.

I think your TV’s resolution is 1366×768, so you shouldn’t be able to see a difference between 720p and 1080p.

Upscaling is already in place over VGA, and with this update VGA upscale will be up to 1080p

By: J1980

nope you need Windows Media Player 11 which is freely available it has the new updated media connect embedded in its options

Nah that SC: DA 1080p rumor was debunked unfortunately.

By: Baschiiii

Baschiiii — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:50:33 +0000

Actually I’m a bit disappointed…

Don’t get me wrong…1080p is great, so is WMV streaming from none MCE PC’s.

But all the other stuff is…I don’t know. Support for additional Hardware, they wanna milk my bank with. Great. I am really excited.

Where the f*** are useful things like DVD-Upscaling, Multi-User-Chat, Divx/Xvid support (c’mon MS, have the balls to support a popular format that is not made by yours truely), support for clans and guilds…..

Like I said the update is ok, some good things come with it. But it’s also missing a lot of thing. Let’s cross fingers for the spring update then

Will you be able to play .ts files from an external harddrive?

By: Danl

I have to agree. Group chat should be there.

By: AZRoboto

AZRoboto — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:02:44 +0000

Why isn’t there a party chat?

By: splattered

splattered — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:01:37 +0000

only if the games are programmed to be displayed in 1080p… so far i think splinter cell DA is the only one.

By: Tucky

Tucky — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:00:31 +0000

i have a Samsung 32HD TV from play.com, will i be ab;e to play games in 1080p tomorrow then?

By: splattered

splattered — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 19:52:59 +0000

Now that WMP11 supports WMV streaming, i wonder if someone could program a version of Transcode to work the same way? I wouldnt mind re-encoding all my video files, but it would be nice if this could be done for me on the fly…

I agree!

No Divx/xvid support sucks, the most requested feature and they ignore it, why should i have to convert to some pussy format that no one uses ?, who the hell uses WMV for christs sake..
