[QUOTE="Crafty, post: 67248, member: 1568"] As far as I know mkv, is only a container. After upgrading the firmare on the mvix, mkv was supported. However, only 1 in 5 of my mkv's worked. h.264 as far as I know is mostly not supported. Also all these devices clearnly states WMV support, yet when you download some instructunal video from microsoft, it will not play. Since they only include the free royalty free version 9 of wmv. all wmv's after 9 will not play. And it is basically anything you download now in wmv will be a version greater than 9 Let's try and perhaps build a database with media players (set top only) and see if we can find the best one. a player that will play true hd, in all mkv/h.xxx formats, support wmv 11 etc... my 2c is, to get all those codecs working, will cost a heap in royalty costs. you need to pay divx for their codec, pay microsoft for their codec etc... eventually to have a player support all platforms, it will cost the same as a mac mini, then I will rather go for the apple.
