    Default Fuzzy Playback Dreambox Formats

    Played around with VLC and movieplayer last night and am impressed with its streaming. Dreamboxs apparently stream from Pc to Dreambox in either .ts or .mpeg format.
    I want the clearest playback of movies, not intrested in jpeg or mp3.
    I played with a small mpeg file of crap quality, hence fuzzy playback. tonight i will try higher quality file to see diffrence.

    From what i understand VLC will re-encode any format to a DM500 readable format then stream it to my DM500, as opposed to mounting a HDD and using file mode which meens the files have to be in .mpeg or .ts format already?
    is this right?
    Is this the advantage to using VLC over file mode ????? or have i got it wrong???
