We’re back for another week and though news all over the site has been slow this week, we think you’ll enjoy the latest episode of Entertainment 2.0. We cover a few topics this week and really get into some codec and container talk with a special impromptu guest, Jere Jones, creator of Show Analyzer. Jere was listening to the live show so we decided to get him on to help hash out what the Divx Technology Preview is doing to get MKV files playing on the Xbox 360 extender. Jere is currently working on his own filters to get this going and he shares a lot of what’s going on behind the scenes when you start streaming a file to an extender.
We also covered TwitterMCE this week. This application allows you to view and send tweets from inside Media Center. While useful, Josh and I both agree there’s something a bit better needed and we discuss it during the show.
A few general show notes for everyone as well. We’ve moved the live show over to Talkshoe. We feel this will allow us to provide a much better live experience for those who can join us during the week. The best way to get there is to head over to the Entertainment 2.0 page here on The DMZ and click the box to listen live. Also, starting this week, you can call us toll-free and leave a voice message for the show. Simply call 1-877-856-4933 and we’ll get your message on the show. If you have comments or questions, we’d love to play them during the show each week.

The DMA2100 does support H264. It doesn't support tv wtv h264 files. I play h264 on my DMA2100.
The issue is that most MKV files are 720p1080p and the DMA2100/2200 doesn't have enough power to play them. It will play 480pi fiels fines.
Ok, thanks. I remember hearing Ben say on the EngadgetHD podcast that h.264 was not supported and that's where I had gotten the info but thanks for the correction.
