Currently I use the PS3 for HD quality content but it's no where near as nice as XBMC and I'm not thrilled about XP-Media center edition...
I am running XBMC on a HTPC with an ATI dual monitor graphics card. Initial tests of 720P MKV files have played back flawlessly. I have my 1920x1200 monitor as a primary display and an extended desktop for my projector (1280x720) and all other video applications allow me to send my videostream as an overlay to the projector. Does anyone know if sending the video as an overlay to the secondary output is possible with XBMC? This would be the most important feature for me.
