What types of video files will Media Center play? I'm running Ultimate, and have a bunch of DivX and Xvid movies. How do I get them to play through Windows Media Center?

Secondly, once I get them to play there, how can I play them through the Xbox 360 on my TV? I do already have the 360 set up as a Media Extender, and it recognizes all my files. When I go to play them, it says the codec is not found.

Hi guys/girls,

Before I went the final step and got vista ultimate, i remember reading that you could have the media center software running on the tv while using the monitor to use the pc normally (assuming the computer has enough grunt).

Now it's all working nice, except whenever media center is loaded the mouse is disabled on the monitor meaning it's impossible to use any other apps, and if anything manages to take the focus off the media center app (running on the tv) the remote (hauppauge thing run by the IR software) stops working, presumably because it doesn't know what it's supposed to be controlling?
