Transcode 360 beta 2 released

As per title. Lets you rewind/skip etc.

It works very well, although it cant seem to handle HD Divx on my system (A64 3200). I had a 1.6GB/Hr program and it wouldnt encode on the fly - had to let it start transcoding for 20 mins before I started watching. Seems fine for normal xvid/divx though.

To be honest though I'll still use XBMC as the quality seems better, but for those relying on the 360 its a welcome addition, and hopefully it might encourage MS to just allow the 360 to accept all codecs.

It works well but a program called VLC360 is much better, uses less CPU power and has it's own main menu.

Just tried the VLC one. Seems about the same speed as transcode beta 2 to me. The ability the play iso files is good (although I couldnt get it to work). Its good to see lots of developers doing something about codec support though
