[NTLUG:Discuss] AT&T UVerse MediaShare

[Bobby Wrenn]

I wouldn't say proprietary. Just different.

They only accept Windows Media in an anamorphic 480X480 resolution with 
CCIR-601 oblong pixel format. They stretch that to 4:3 ratio on their 
media server. If you can push Windows Media to a Windows Media Server 
and you can match the format then I expect it would work.
