Codec Problems After Xbox 360 Dashboard Updates?

More and more problems are being discovered about the latest Xbox 360 dashboard update. This time out, the problem that Xbox archives found was with the Halo 3 Trailer. By the end of the Halo 3 video, as Cortana speaks, “This is the way the world ends“, the screen is normally totally black. With the update, the screen now displays a big bright dot.

The same problem was encountered when the video was played on Windows XP Media Player. This seems to imply that Microsoft has implemented the latest WindowsXP Media Player codecs into the 2006 Xbox 360 updates. If this is true, it means that the codec problems of WinXP has also been adapted by the Xbox 360 dashboard updates.

The video above, which shows the problem at play time 00:08, was already sent to Microsoft. When the person who found out about this problem inquired with Microsoft, the only answer he got was “The WMP team is already working on it…”
