Good points Erica - there's a lot of great stuff in the pipeline and David's doing good work on the security and privacy infrastructure. The thing about Coceve/IMSmarter is that this is David's personal baby and he's not going to allow it to be anything other than a cool, secure, 'slashdot crowd'-friendly service. I've been a beta tester since day one and the system is painfully easy to use and Really Useful. It's a substantial technical feat to handle all the different protocols and charsets. Think of it this way - for once IM be useful for something more interesting than talking to real people.
YES. I do this with my Creative Labs DVD 5.2(?) with the dxr2 board. The files, obviously, are huge. The Windows software lets you play back many types of MPEG streams. They always work on screen (via the passthrough) and NTSC-size files play back perfectly on my TV via the s-video output. Non-NTSC (pal, 320x240, etc) streams just freak out the TV, though.
