Windows Vista Media Center

Did something in the output format change between the September beta and the October beta? The output files in the September beta would run natively in Windows Vista Media Center, with the October beta, using the same settings, Media Center gives an error message stating that the files are not compatable with Media Center.

Thanks for your help.

from Windows Vista Media Center to BadaBoom

What is the easiest way to convert videos from Windows Vista Media Center to BadaBoom?
From there I want to convert it to a PSP...

P.S. Please don't ask why I want to do this, just say the easiest way... Thanks!)
