Efectivamente, por lo que yo se no escala, por lo que no le serviria a deimos...aunque se podria intentar por soft... puede que el celeron no de para tanto...
Josemuk : gracias por la informacion... ya te contare.
Edito: parece que con el xbmc escala...
>>Modded xbox can up convert?
Absolutely. If you use XBMC as your dashboard on your modded xbox, you will have options to play your DVD at 480p, 720p and 1080i. I usually play mine at 720p

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What is XboxMediaCenter and what does it allow me to do if I run it on Microsoft's Xbox™?
A: XboxMediaCenter is a free and open source multimedia player for the Xbox™ from Microsoft. Currently XboxMediaCenter can be used to play/view most popular video/audio/picture formats such as MPEG-1/2/4, DivX, XviD, MP3, AAC, JPG, GIF plus many more less known formats directly from a CD/DVD in Xbox DVD-ROM drive or of the Xbox harddrive, XBMC can also play files from a PC over a local network and even stream media streams directly from the internet. XBMC has playlist and slideshow functions, a weather forecast and many audio visualizations. All these features enable the Xbox™ running XboxMediaCenter to fully function as a multimedia jukebox. XBMC is easy to use, it's convenient, flexible and offers great price/performance ratio. (This, The XboxMediaCenter Project is also known as "Xbox Media Center" or simply "XBMC"). Note! XBMC is a hobby project that is only developed by volunteers in their spare-time for free. (Remember that XboxMediaCenter does require a modded Xbox to run on or it will not function).
Q: Does XboxMediaCenter have a HOW-TO manual or userguide that I can read to learn more?
A: The official XBMC PDF user-manual still BETA so it's a work in progress, more info found here (link). There is however a online XBMC manual which is more up-to-date, it even allows so that you can help write (Wikki) and update it, you can find it here (link). Note! You MUST read the online-manual and all Q&A's on this FAQ page before post/ask anything in our forums!
Q: Exactly which video/audio/picture formats and audio/video codec versions can XBMC play?
A: Most common container formats are supported and a wide range of codecs, full list here (on this page linked you will also find list of all XBMC features/functions). (PS! View screen shots). Note! If a format/codec is not listed on the XBMC Project Page (link) then it is not supported!
Q: Exactly what kind of features and functions does the latest XBMC point release support?
A: Loads, to many to be listed in FAQ so view the full list here (link). (PS! View screen shots). Note! If a feature/function is not listed on the XBMC Project Page (link) then it's not supported!
Q: Does XBMC support/feature 'this*' or 'that*' (* = 'this' and 'that' can be anything you like)?
A: Guess you did not read the two above Q&A's for the same FAQ?; again, if a feature/function or format/codec is not listed on the XBMC Project Page (link) then it's not supported by XBMC!
Q: What's the boot-time/startup-time of Xbox with XBMC?, is it comparable to a Windows-PC?
A: Xbox boot/startup-time from OFF to XBMC dashboard is very fast, avarage is ~10 seconds.
Q: What's the noise-level of the Xbox, how loud/quit does it run whiles in operation and idle?
A: XBMC has fan/temperture-control features and harddrive spin-down functions and all new Xbox only has one fan so in theory it should be real quiet but unfortunate Microsoft selected a very cheap FAN/BLOWER (probebly to save money) and that original fan is relativly loud (for such a small 60mm 9volt fan), we haven't measued it but would guess the Xbox give out 30db which isn't too loud but it can be annoying. Fortunately it's really simple too replace that fan with a ultra-quiet PC fan, (either a 60mm 9volt fan, or a 80mm 12volt with a few modifications). PS! There are also other mods you can also make to make it more silet, see xbox-scene.com
Q: Can I upgrade/update the existing audio/video codecs for XBMC or install new ones myself?
A: No, well not unless you are a very skilled codec programmer yourself, please read this (link)
Q: Can I install WinAmp Audio-Visualization plug-ins or other visualisations to XBMC myself?
A: No. XBMC does not support WinAmp, XMMS, or any other existing audio-visualizations, XBMC uses our own visualization-loader and the vis has to be specialy coded/designed for it, (in theory any open source DirectX based could be ported to XBMC by a skilled programmer).
Q: Where can I download executable binary (compiled) versions of XboxMediaCenter for Xbox?
A: Not from this site or any other site that are in affiliation with us, (don't ask us where either). (but note that yes you do need a XDK compiled/binary version of XBMC to run on it your Xbox).
We only host and maintain the XboxMediaCenter source code ( what is "source code?" (link) ).
*For legal reasons, no Xbox™ binaries will be released from us or distributed by us until a legal non-MS compiler is available (so please do not ask for any files not posted here). (Note! XDK compiled binaries are NOT released or distributed by the XboxMediaCenter team). Do not ask or e-mail us requesting any Xbox files or asking where they can be downloaded from, thanks. Note! Yes we know that there are pre-compiled versions of XBMC being distributed on internet, FTP-servers and IRC however those do not originate from us and we have no control over them, you see XBMC being an open source project means that anyone can compile and distribute it.
Q: What do I need to compile the XBMC source code into a Xbox™ executable/binary (xbe)?
A: Legal copies of "MS Visual Studio .NET 7.0 or 7.1" and "Microsoft Xbox SDK 5778 or 5849", once installed those and you downloaded the latest XBMC CVS, follow these intructions (link).
Note! Microsoft Xbox SDK (a.k.a. the XDK) is not available for normal purchase, read this (link)
PS! A freely available & open source Xbox SDK is under development (The OpenSDK Project), but that free open source SDK is far from mature so it cannot yet be used to compile XBMC. - Support the OpenXDK Project which is a very important project for the Xbox homebrew scene.
Q: Can I use/run Xbox Media Center on a retail Xbox without a modchip installed in it?
A: Yes, there are some pre-coded hacks (software mods) to run XBMC unchipped, but we do not support how-to use them, (recommend you visit
www.xbox-scene.com for HOW-TO mod). PS! It is very unlikely that XBMC will ever run on unhacked Xboxes, (we have once contacted Microsoft about the possibility to sign XBMC but we were regretfully rejected) Note! We do not support HOW-TO install/use a software mod or HOW-TO install/use Xbox hardware mod-chips.
Q: What will a software-mod* or modchip* enable me to do once installed in my retail Xbox?
A: Many, MANY things, these are just a few interesting options modding an Xbox will open up:
- Enable you to execute and run homebrew applications/software such as XboxMediaCenter,
(other homebrew software include game-console emulators, home-made games, and more).
- Enable install all those software onto the Xbox™ Hard Drive or launch from CD/DVD+/-R/RW.
- Enable install of a much bigger and faster Hard Drive (original Xbox has only 8GB) up to 2TB (that's 2048GB!), (upgrading your Hard Drive will also speedup Xbox loading + boot-up times).
- Enable you to replace the original Xbox™ DVD-ROM with a different one, allowing faster loading times and better compatibility of home-burned media like CD-R/RW, DVD+/-R/RW.
- A modchip also allows you play imported and backupd Xbox games + all-regions DVD-Video.
(*This is maybe not legal in your country, please check your specific country's law for details).
Note! We do not support HOW-TO use a software mod or HOW-TO install/use Xbox mod-chips
Q: What kind of mod/modchip do I need to install in my Xbox™ to use the XboxMediaCenter?
A: Anyone will do, but we recommend Xecuter 2/3, or SmartXX or Xenium no-solder modchips.
Note! XBMC-Team and our forums does not support HOW-TO use or install Xbox mod-chips!
Q: I have heard of XBMP (XboxMediaPlayer/XBPlayer), what is that?, is it a rival Xbox project?
A: XBMP is XBMC's predecessor and it has been discontinued, XBMC have totally replaced XBMP and all developers moved to XBMC. The different between them can be found here (link).
Q: How do I install XboxMediaCenter onto my harddrive, is there an installation/setup-wizard?
A: XBMC basicaly functions just like any other Xbox-game or Xbox-homebrew-application/game and that is there is no installation/setup-wizards from us, as all that needs to done in order to get started is copy all XBMC files/folders (which has already been compiled) to Xbox harddrive in the right locations; if you have a other third-party homebrew dashboard other than Microsoft own then look in its ini/xml configuration file where to place the games and the applications, alternativly if you like to install XBMC as your primary bootup dashboard to replace Microsoft own default dash in which case either simply copy all XBMC files/folders into the root of the C: partition and rename default.xbe to xboxdash.xbe (or evoxdash.xbe depending on your modchip BIOS) which is easiest, or you can like most people do (because it's 'cleaner') and copy all XBMC files/folders into a new folder on the E: partition (ex. E:\Apps\XBMC\) then also copy only the default.xbe (XBMC's executable program-file) to the C: partition then rename that default.xbe file to xboxdash.xbe (or evoxdash.xbe depending on your modchip BIOS) next edited the XboxMediaCenter.xml (XBMC's executable program-file) with any text-editor on your cumputer to change the <home> path location to where you copied all XBMC files/folders on E: (or F: or G: depending where you put it), finally copy this edited XboxMediaCenter.xml version to the C: partition on the Xbox and your are done. In order to copy files to the Xbox you have two options (but many variations on each of those options) and that is either to use a FTP-client on your PC to copy the files to the Xbox over a local network, (for this you need a FTP-server running on your Xbox, if you already have a third-party homebrew dashboard installed then the chance is that it already has a built-in FTP-server which you just need to enable and setup your network configuration, alternativly you can create a boot-disk with the files from a third-party homebrew dashboard in order to get a FTP-server temporarly running on your Xbox, note that these dashboards includes XBMC which also has a built-in FTP-server, (others are EvolutionX, Avalaunch, Media-X-Menu or UnleashX), the second option is if you don't have a local network and/or computer at home, that option is to use a third-party file-manager application to copy the files from a CD/DVD that you burn with both that file-manager and all XBMC files (file-manager such as DVD2XBOX, boXplorer, Xcommander, and yes even XBMC which has one built-in). Note! To read more about how-to install any homebrew application visit the XBMC online-manual, and we recommend you also study www.xbox-scene.com's tutorials. PS! Because installing (copying) any Xbox homebrew application or Xbox game to the Xbox harddrive is done via basicaly the same procedure we have not written a step-by-step on how.
Q: Can I control XboxMediaCenter with the Xbox™ DVD Remote and/or a game controller?
A: Yes, XBMC currently supports both Xbox™ DVD Remotes and game controllers/gamepads.
Though we highly recommend getting a Xbox™ DVD Remote (this may even be required later).
PS! You can alternativly use a universal IR-remote but you still need the MS Xbox IR-receiver,
(program Universal Remotes for a RCA VCR/DVD player, MS IR-dongle uses RCA 5 protocol).
Q: Can I control XboxMediaCenter/Xbox with a Universal Infrared Remote Control (IR-remote)?
A: Yes but you still need an Xbox IR-receiver/dongle in order for the Xbox to recieve the signal,
(program Universal Remotes for a RCA VCR/DVD player, MS IR-dongle uses RCA 5 protocol).
Q: Can I connect my Xbox to a 802.11 g/a wireless network/LAN to stream media to XBMC?
A: Yes, by using the class of wireless LAN products called a Wireless Bridge, ex Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter or other ones like Linksys WGA54AG/WET54G/WGA54G/WET54GS5, Netgear WGE111, D-Link DWL-G820, Buffalo Tech AirStation 54G, SMC SMC2870W, U.S. Robotics USR015430 or similar. More info on SmallNetBuilder's article on Wireless Bridging.
Note! 802.11b wireless adapters can not sustain streaming high quality video or audio, so we highly recommend getting one that supports 802.11g (54Mb) such as Microsoft own, or better. .
Q: Can the DVD-ROM that came with my Xbox™ read CD-R media with audio, video or pics?
A: If you got a Samsung DVD-ROM drive with your Xbox™ then most likely yes. If you got a Thomson or Philips DVD-ROM then most likely no, however some can read a few brands CD-R.
(There is only one real way to find out if your DVD-ROM can play CD-R's or not; test and see). Note! CD-TEXT support was added recently, it's only supported on Samsung DVD-ROM drives.
PS! As most Xbox DVD-ROMs are Thomson or Philips so many users install a PC DVD-ROM.
Q: Can I put XboxMediaCenter + clips/movies on a CD or DVD media and boot from it?
A: No, this is currently not supported because XBMC needs to write to folder it's installed in.
Q: Can I put XboxMediaCenter on the Xbox™ build-in hard disk drive and run it from there?
A: Yes, with XBMC's file-manager or FTP-server or a other file access program for the Xbox™.
Q: Can I put supported files on the Xbox™ build-in hard disk drive and play them from there?
A: Yes, with XBMC's file-manager or FTP-server or a other file access program for the Xbox™.
Q: Can I play/view a video/audio/pic file direct from a CD or DVD when got XBMC on the HDD?
A: Yes if it is a supported file and CD/DVD format (ISO 9660 - mode 1/2 or UDF128/xISO).
Note! Most Xbox DVD-ROM dives are Thomson or Philips which cannot read CD-R media (link).
Q: Can I play a ISO9660 CD-R/RW direct from the DVD-ROM if I got XBMC on CD or on HDD?
A: Yes, you can play media files directly from a CD/DVD as long as drive can read the media.
Note! Most Xbox DVD-ROM dives are Thomson or Philips which cannot read CD-R media (link).
Q: Can XboxMediaCenter play (stream and record) audio and video directly from the internet?
A: Stream yes, but XBMC doesn't all streaming formats/codecs. What XBMC support so far is:
- SHOUTcast: MP3 audio codec streaming from the internet via URL in ".pls" playlists files, (XBMC can also record SHOUTcast while playing stream, and is only thing XBMC can record).
- IceCast: Ogg Vorbis and MP3 streaming from the internet via URL in ".strm" playlists files.
- Nullsoft Steaming Video/Audio (NSV, aka. NTV): via ".strm" (Note! VP4/VP5/VP6 via DLL's).
- MMS - Microsoft Media Streaming Protocol: Support all XBMC codecs, except for RealMedia.
- HTTP: Support all XBMC codecs, except for RealMedia. You can also stream this from LAN.
- Apple QuickTime internet video files and streams over HTTP (Hyper-Text-Transfer-Protocol).
Note! Only very latest CVS of XBMC support streaming RealMedia(Video/Audio) and it's buggy.
Q: Does XBMC and Xbox support HDTV (High Definition TV) resolutions?, and HDTV media?
A: Yes and no, but the answer is a little more complicated than that, you see: Xbox/XBMC can output 480p/720p/1080i (if you have a High Definition AV Pack/component cable) and upscale all low-resolution videos (like retail DVD-Video/Movies) to 720p (1280x720 pixel progressive) or 1080i (1920x1080 pixel interlaced) in hardware (linear upscale/upconvert). So XBMC have no problems with upscaling example DVD-video (720x480 NTSC/720x756 PAL) movies to HDTV 480p/720p/1080i. XBMC is even capable of playing native HD video (video/movies with native resolutions higher than 720x576) like 720p (1280x720) and 1080i (1920x1080), however there is here a big snag/limitation and that is that a standard Xbox only has a 733Mhz Intel Pentium-III CPU (processor) and that does not have the processing power to decode those native HD video resolutions, and that means you would only get maybe 10fps (frames per seconds) displayed which would appear so jerky because of all dropped frames that it will be un-viewable. The only solution if you want to play videos with native HD resolutions on Xbox is to buy or upgrade to a non-standard Xbox with a much faster CPU (processor), (like example the DreamX-1400 from FriendTech which has a 1480Mhz Pentium-III that is at least capable of decoding native HD videos that are have up to 720p in native HDTV video resolution. FriendTech do offers trade-in). Note! XBMC does not yet have DVD-menu support so note you only get video on DVD-Videos. Note! You must enable/setup your HDTV settings in Microsoft dashboard, (on NTSC Xboxes).
To make this even clearer XBMC capability on a standard Xbox (with Intel 733Mhz PIII CPU):
- 720x480 pixel video output to 480p HDTV (720x480 progressive) = OK! (eg not upscaled).
- 720x480 pixel video output to 720p HDTV (1280x720 progressive) = OK! (eg upscaled).
- 720x480 pixel video output to 1080i HDTV (1920x1080 interlaced) = OK! (eg upscaled).
- 1280x720 pixel progressive video output to 720p HDTV (native 1280x720 progressive) = FAIL!
- 1920x1080 interlaced video output to 1080i HDTV (native 1920x1080 interlaced) = FAIL!
Note! All above that state FAIL don't actually fail to play, it's just that the Xbox CPU is to slow to decode/render the high resolution so it will drop so may frames that is will be un-viewable.
PS! There are not many standalone DVD-players out there that can even upscale normal DVD-movies to 720p or 1080i and those that can are much more expensive than a modded Xbox ;-P
FYI; Microsoft® & DivX® recommend 2.4 Ghz PC + 384MB RAM for 720p MPEG-4 playback!
