Glad to see MC users have something to look forward to, but I can't help but wonder - why did it take Microsoft so long to deliver format compatibility and transcoding to its customers? SageTV, BeyondTV, MediaPortal, Meedio, XBMC etc etc have all had this ability for years.
And an even better question is this: Why can't the extenders handle these formats without transcoding in the first place? The SageTV extender handles all of these with ease (no transcoding required) and does ripped DVD's all out of the box.
