XBMC has almost complete compatibility with every video/sound format ever made, including automatic playing of *.rar files *.bin,*.iso DVD files.
The current apps which stream to 360s require re-encoding of the video - something only the most powerful PCs can do in HD realtime.
Unfortunately Microsoft will always be unable to create such software of this standard because by the time they negotiate through the licences/patents the technology will have moved on.
Maybe MSFT should just let people use XNA to get XBMC onto their 360?

nothing can guarantee a lossless compression ratio.
