I know that's why I also said I didn't expect them to add xvid. though xvid has gotten a lot of use nowadays in more legal ways. Especially in trailers and such. kv hasn't come to this level. but then divx has a relatively professional company behind it, wich has done all it could to push for more legal uses of DivX and gotten it as almost a standard support in dvd players.

and I'm pretty sure the 360 support subtitles in some way, well through the MCE anyway if you stream stuff(like tv channels form a MC box). but the real use for mkv wouldn't be subtitles as much as the the wider support it was for video stream and audio stream compatibilities. if you want 5.1 sound without using mp3 you're pretty much stuck with mkv. outside of using wmv anyway.

Nope I tried that, worked on my laptop, didnt work on the 360 :(

Speak of the Devil...

The December debacle could have held up the Xbox Live team more than we thought. With the fall update coming later than expected and the December Xbox live debacle, the spring update could be skipping to fall.

There has been no word of a spring update, and everyone seems to have forgotten about one. Spring has just started and ends on June 20th 11:59:59 so that leaves 3 months left to be completed.

Can the Xbox Live team bring an effective update (not the windows live messenger crap) by the end of spring or do we have to wait till fall?

It's just a rumour, mind, plus we can take solice in the fact that Microsoft didn't mention anything about the last update until a week or two before it was due out.

I am sure they have something already developed ready to release as the Spring update when the time comes.

I guess we will find out in June then because will not announce anything until nearer the time. Just hope some info gets leaked though on coming features/improvements.

which game? cod had no problems neither did halo so what game are you talking about Michael?

Yes, Call of Duty 4 - So many people had major problem with both Live and in-game servers, you can't deny that, people even tried to sue Microsoft over it, so you can't deny it.

It wasn't Call of Duty that caused that, it was simply the sheer number of people singing into Live at Christmas - alll were affected and it wasn't just one major release.

Don't think we ever got an official statement which explained anything? I doubt a lot of users just signing up would cause that, they'd have to actually use the service, Playing Call of Duty 4 which was the Christmas seasons big hit - So i think the problems go hand in hand.

Pretty much my entire friends list during those months were playing Call of Duty 4.

new call of duty 4:MW update/patch includes a new set of menu options:

in the multiplayer & xbox live menu's the update has added a new option for "download maps" which takes you to the download popup that leads to any map packs that they will be releasing in the new few hours & the future.

please not this is not stating that the maps are now available

not too sure on what else is updated in this update/patch so if anyone can add to this then that's amazing.

When are they releasing a new update, there's still lot of stuff missing and I am afraid to say now my 360 is collecting dust :( .

I don't play multiplayer much, so there aren't any good games coming out till 29th. Also the update I am talking about is for the 16:10 support, smoother navigation and annoying freeze that happens everytime I log into xbox live.

Just got the update as well. I don't notice anything different. Probably just some backend stuff I guess.

Edit: Just found this over at Major Nelson's Blog...

A few minutes ago, the team released a system update for the Xbox 360 over Xbox LIVE. Sometime over the next few hours when you sign in to Xbox LIVE you?ll recieve a prompt to accept this mandatory update. This update contains code to ?prepare for future growth of the service.? There are no other changes or enhancements in this update?in other words no new features. The next obvious question you?ll have is about the Spring update. At this point we have nothing to announce, and the moment there is information to share I will do so.

Did it occur when you put a game disc in?

Yes i did. I signed in fine and then i loaded up Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and i came up. I thought it was an update for the game.

Maintenance is coming Monday 21th aswell so maybe it has something to do with that.

I feel the spring update is close.

Well, after doing the update, my 360 now has RROD. I don't know if it has anything to do with the update or not, but it froze when I tried to download the Condemned demo, so I turned if off and then back on again and I got RROD.
