So I'm sitting here thinking about making an XBox Media Center for my mom for the holidays this year, but that involves transcoding a lot of, er, home movies that are currently stored in an iPod-ready H.264 format. I know that the XBox has trouble with H.264 with CABAC and deblocking above a certain, minimal resolution, but it seems like it should be able to play the 640x480 1.5Mbps higher-end iPod video files. I haven't been able to find out whether or not that profile uses deblocking, though.

Anyone have any personal experiences on this?

Edit: LOL. Okay, "low complexity" means no deblocking. Leaving this here in case anyone has a similar question.
