Apple TV Plays Now XviD Format

What do you have to do:

Remove the hard drive and mount it on a Mac, where it appears as a native HFS volume;

Installing the SSH server Dropbear, the video container Perian, and a custom script lets the Apple TV play files outside of its normal MPEG-4 and H.264 standards.
Of course, nothing is perfect. The good samaritans who did this, say that QuickTime movies is required for each XviD to prevent the hub from directly synchronizing the movies themselves.

We appreciate the effort and wait for the improved solution of hacked Apple TV.
