This will be my collecting place for the next couple months as I get my feet wet with streaming audio and video to my tv using Xbox 360 and Windows Media Center.

Videora has this software that converts from many video formats into the format that the Xbox 360 understands.

Best of all - FREE!

Videora Xbox360 Converter - Xbox360 Video Converter

Also, check out this post from Engadget about Videora being used to convert from Windows Media Center Edition format to something the iPod can understand.

DivX converter for 360. Convert DivX videos (on the fly?) and stream them down to the 360 via MCE.

...and Transcode 360 is another choice for converting DivX and XViD

SWEET! FireFox extension that will send a video link you find on the net to the Xbox Media Center Extender (the 360). Discussions and link here.

Apparently this uses commands exposed by the Xbox 360 (reminds me of the ReplayTV HTTP interface)
