Also, if you want fast forwarding capabilities,

and instant playback stick with encoding in WMV format as the xvid will only skip forward.

Here are the issues I have encountered so far:

Parity Bit Remote Codes rendering most learning

remotes useless and no way to change registy as in the host machine to get around it.

Extemely slow re-boot time to Linksys Interface.

Lack of Divx Support

Xvid is Delayed in Start Up and will not FF

It also seems to freeze fairly often.

It is true, the DMA2100 does not play divx encoded files, it will only play xvid. Happy Converting :)

Thanks for the response...

I use Auto Gordian Knot(AutoGK) for both Xvid files and Divx. When this tool is used, it puts the files in an AVI container. (I understand both these formats are MPEG-4 ASP.) When I use the GSPOT codec reader www.headbands.com/gspot it does show if a file was created using DIVX or Xvid branded codec.

I must be missing something... This would not that big of deal for me, but I have over 400 files made using the DIVX branded codec... I don't want have to convert them all. (Which I tested, and does work if converted.)

Also... All my files work in XBOX 360 dashboard with no problems.

One last thing... What is a GMC?

Mike: Both DivX and Xvid are MPEG-4 ASP. Their is an MPEG-4 ASP decoder in there. There is not an "Xvid decoder" or "DivX decoder", just MPEG-4 ASP. I'd make sure you are encoding within an AVI container (don't do .divx), and make sure you are not using GMC.

Chris,

I spent hours today trying to get Divx files to work. The DMA2100 will not play files created with the Divx codec, only files I created with Xvid.
