Have a 360 hooked to Vista media center. Can see and use Powerdvd to watch blu ray from media center on PC however program is not available on the 360 version. Anyone have any ideas on how I can make this work? Would like to use blu ray drive and view on my LCD HDTV without having to reconfigure monitor setup every time. Any help would be appreciated

Because of licensing restrictions MCE PCs cannot stream DVD video at any resolution. You can thank the studios on the way out. :mad:

I just switched to Vista, well bought a new comupter, whats better to use MC or WMP11?

What works better is hooking your PC straight to your TV and eliminating the 360 altogether.

More info needed. What do you plan on doing? I personally would avoid both if you plan on watching HiDef movies and just regular ole music..

Mainly just watching south park. But my first 5 seasons don't work when doing it through WMP11

Try Tversity, it will re-encode on the fly to work with the 360. And since you're not doing any HiDef it should work very well.
