Xbox Media Center - Feed The Geeks

I just got Vista and was setting up my Xbox as a media box (streaming my stored DVD backups, easier than replacing the disc or browsing through a closet). Anyone else here use the Xbox as a media extender as well as a game system?

I set it up, but to be honest I can't stand it - it could be a fault with my 360 though - it's really slow and incredibly unstable.

The idea is good, but for the moment I'll stick to streaming over my laptop.

Heh, I guess I'm not missing out on much. I have been trying for a while to get streaming to work between my Xbox and PC for ISO files. Seems to not be meant to happen.

MyMovies is XP only. I have Vista MCE, not XP MCE

VLC360 won't start on boot, and is French making it a pain to troubleshoot. Perhaps because I use a 64-bit system.

Vista MCE won't view my ISOs.

My next try is with Transcode360, but if that doesn't work, I'm throwing in the towel. Maybe I'll just stick a cheap PC with a VGA wire there.
