Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we are very glad to see it works well for you. Regarding the flat list of videos, it is true that it is up to Microsoft to add support for hierarchy, however until that happens, we added a feature that prefixes item names with their parent folder, this can help quite a bit with large libraries. You can turn it on via the settings tab and then you need to reconstruct the library. Hi Brandon, this is Ronen from TVersity.

Would be so much better if the MCE functionality could stream DVD (video_ts rips, iso etc) to the Xbox but politics probably says it’ll never happen.

It is/was a Core Duo 1.67Ghz model and performance was fine. It was a bit slow running the MCE menus but I'm pretty certain that was the 512MB of memory holding it back. I was about to upgrade it to 2GB which I'm sure would have made a huge difference. Other upgrades you can do with it are a Core 2 Duo CPU and/or a 7200RPM hard drive. But I didn't really think those would be necessary. Major drawback to it as a Media Center is the lack of 6-channel audio outputs. Your only options are stereo or optical s/pdif. I'm still not sure if I'm going to replace it with a new media center box. I think I'll take it to the Apple Store this week and see about having them send it in for repairs. In the meantime the 360 plus TVersity seem to have me covered pretty well. It was running Vista (with Aero and all). It is/was a Core Duo 1.67Ghz model and performance was fine.

I'm curious about the Mac Mini's performance, particularly with it's on-board Intel graphics with Vista. For example can it playback highdef content, 720p at least without any hiccups?
