Hi

I´m looking for a media center software like Front Row, does anybody know any alternatives? Front Row is very nice, sadly it does not support storing my TV-recordings since they are encoded as DivX or Xvid.

I´ve found Media Central but the lagging menu is a real turnoff. So are there other applications like that out there or is there a way to make Front Row work with other video codecs?

thanks in advance :)
 
I tried that and the file appeared in Front Row. But when I tried playing it, the screen stayed black. A snapshot of the movie could be seen in the cover view but Front Row would just not play it.

Tried that with several files, all with the same result.
