  • Stream H.264-MP4/M4V/M4A from Windows Media Player 11 to Playstation 3 & Xbox 360

    This should be of interest to Digital Media fans. I've been trying to work through the incompatibility issues with H.264 in native Vista apps. This might just fix most of it. From Red Herring : This registry patch will tie MP4/M4V/M4A files into Windows Media Player [WMP11] and Windows Media Center...

    This comes at an interesting time for me, as I've been updating the Windows Vista Secrets book for Service Pack 1 and am adding a bunch of material on related technologies, including a chapter on Zune.
