Sling’s latest supports a ton of codecs: WMV, MPEG2, MPEG4, H.264 and XviD in a variety of file formats, including .VOB. The most interesting thing is .VOB. That’s right, you can rip DVD’s onto your computer and stream them anywhere around the house. Finally a company is adding features people might actually use.
