No multichannel audio is a shame though. MPEG-4 support is limited to SP (again no multichannel support). Better than nothing, I suppose. Still no DivX\/XviD support, but at least it&#8217;s better than converting everything to WMV.<\/p>\n<p>There are also a whole bunch of other video related improvements, such as improved skip forward\/back (video is divided into 10 chapters automatically), switchable aspect ratios (Letterbox, Zoom, Stretch, Native).
