Default Best Way to play Divx?

Have searched the web and there are a few solutions out there, but what do you guys use to stream Divx files to your 360?

I haven't tried using media player 11 but can you play avi files or do the video files all have to be converted to mpeg first?

the all have to be converted to .wma i think, which is a pain in the arse because it takes a while to convert them and the quality usually drops. i had a dvd quality casino royale avi file and i converted it to wma and it now looks like it was filmed in a cinema with a camcorder. maybe my settings are wrong or something but i think that wma just sucks

If you want to play video files you have to convert the vid to WMV or it wont stream it. I wish they would make an update that would allow any vid files to be streamed.
I use WinAvi to convert to WMV its the easiest way that i have found.

no problem

i really dont understand why media player (an M$ program) will let you play all kinds of video files but XBOX 360 (M$ obviously) will only let you play ****ty wmv files. it really gets on my nerves, i'm hoping one day one of these update they keep releasing will actually let us stream movie formats with decent quality
