Unlike many of you, I'm willing to live without high-def audio, so I typically rip my movies with just the core 5.1 audio tracks (DTS or Dolby Digital). I'm a little more particular about PQ, though, and I do like to keep the movies at the full Blu-ray bitrate. Some of that is VC-1 or MPEG-2. Also, I have a Windows Media Center that I use to record content, which is also HD MPEG-2. This Fire TV, like most of these modern low-cost boxes, seems to support hardware MPEG-4 decoding just fine, but there doesn't appear to be hardware MPEG-2 or VC-1. But with a more powerful CPU than my Apple TV, I'm wondering if it's able to still pull off smooth playback of those via the CPU?

Also, any possibility that we'll be able to see 24fps support with this box?
