MKV video on the 360

I have stumbled upon a great solution to getting MKV files to play on my 360.

I'll get the disadvantages out of the way now, there is no support for 5.1 sound. If you have a surround system you're probably best sticking to transcoding.

However if you can live with stereo sound then the following utility converted a 200Mb mkv file into a 200Mb mp4 file in around 60 seconds as opposed to the transcode which took around 25 minutes

Now admitedly I'm at work and can't check the file but will try it tonight on the 360 when I get home. So without further ado I give you XenonMKV.
