Of course MediaCentral plays your DVDs and VIDEO_TS folders. But it can also do so much more: Quicktime H.264 with AAC (excluding FairPlay protected files) and AVI are fully supported. Here's a complete list of supported formats:

MediaCentral now supports external Windows Media plug-ins. Simply install the plug-in and MediaCentral will use it.

Access your favorite iTunes videocasts from MediaCentral's movie menu. Whatever you're into - cartoons, technology, medicine, or anything else for that matter, you now have complete access to all your saved videocasts directly from MediaCentral.

If you have media that has an associated SRT file, you can enable and disable subtitles with the touch of a button - actually the "s" key. Just be sure that both the movie and the SRT file are in the same location with the same name and the proper extension.

In the movie section of "My MediaCentral", you can store and access all your local and network video content. You can even create folders within your "My Movies" folder, to help navigate through your collection. Access your movies directly with "My Movies".
