It has an option to encode to HD-AVI DIVX, 1280x720. MP3 4400-224
I did a few test files with an mkv and an mpeg-2 and they looked real nice on my PC.
My 360 is banned. so I cant test on console until tommorrow on my sons 360 that just palyed a 4.5-gig
rip of Cars-BluRay, and it looked incredible !!.....much cleaner than a WMV-rip
Anyone else who plays around with this...post your results....it just might be what we've all been looking for to get around all these recoding issues !!

Just checked the file I encoded which was the "minisodes" from Battlestar Galactica-Razor which I had encoded from 2 channel to 5.1 with Nero-Vision.....
Video: DivX 5 1280x720 30.00fps [Video]
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 5ch 448Kbps [Audio 0]
So...yes it maintains 5.1, and it looks great and sounds grat and it was quick and easy !!
Going to try a whole movie tonight.....the minisode was only 19 minutes long.

Why are you converting to HD-AVI? Is that recognized by the Xbox 360, or do you still have to transcode?

I for one and many others have had a hell of a time trying to do WMV conversions...they just take too long and are prone to problems.
This method is really fast and produced a high-quality result also with those pesky HD-mkv files, of which I have a few hundred.
It also is a better solution than all this converting to mp4 I see going on......
On a side note, the newsgroups are full of HD rips for the PS3, in mp4 with 5.1
Makes me almost want to buy one
