I got some questions on the X-box media player.

I don't feel like re-encoding the video cause of my slow computer so I assume you don't have to do that with the X-box media player.

So here are my questions

Do I have to install a mod chip to enable an X-box to play DivX/Xvid media.

Can it play ogm files? Can it play dual audio avi files? Can it display soft subtitles, srt and idx/sub files ripped with vobsub? What about VBR mp3?I assume since the x-box is also a DVD player it can also play avi files with 5.1 AC3 audio.

Want to make sure it can play all of these before I get one.

Basically

1.) Yes you either have to Soft Mod it.. with Software Hacks or get a Mod Chip

2.) Yes it can play ssa, srt, idx/sub, many other formats

3.) Yes it can Play OGM files

4.) Yes it can play AC3 audio..

But just to correct something.. because its a DVD player don't mean it can read AC3 Audio.. a DVD player can just read DVD discs.. only if the program supports the AC3 codec can it read AC3.. means the software has to support it.. but Yes it does..
