Streaming HD films

[ps360wii]

i have Windows Vista installed and noticed it can stream HD films/TV/music vids etc to the Xbox 360. so i tried this out by downloading a HD music vid and it looked really nice.

As there is a HD war going on between Sony and Toshiba i am not going to buy a HD player (with the exception of the PS3 which i hope to buy sometime this year) but untill then with only recently buying a HDTV i want to use this feature in Media Centre. so i downloaded a movie in HD (making sure i owned the original copy) but it wont stream it to my Xbox 360 for some reason. the files are .evo which is new to me so i figured its just because i have never downloaded something in HD before. so i wanted to know is there anyway of streaming this HD film to my Xbox 360?

if it is not possible i would like to know if i would be able to connect my PC to my HDTV using a DVI to HDMI converter? i own an ATI Radeon X800 GTO PowerColour (PCI-E)

cant stream evo to a 360. wmv and mpeg2 is ok.

evo files are HD-dvd rips

ts files are a container for either mpeg2 or h264 sat tv rips. the latter cant be streamed to a 360 either. Theres an app "transcode360" that will convert them though but you need the media centre OS to do this.

ps3 wont do them either, if you want to stream to the 360 just grab wmv re-encodes. Some nice lookin 1080/720p stuff out there
