Have done my research and figured that my standard chipped(xecuter2) xbox should be able to play the following:
XBMC capability on a standard Xbox (Intel 733Mhz PIII CPU):
720x480p video output to 720x480p = OK! (eg not upscaled).
720x480p video output to 1024x720p = OK! (eg upscaled to 720p).
720x480p video output to 1920x1080p = OK! (eg upscaled to 1080i).
1024x720p video output to 1024x720p = FAIL! (eg native 720p).
1920x1080i video output to 1920x1080i = FAIL! (eg native 1080i).
Note! All above that sais FAIL don't actualy fail to play, it's just that the Xbox CPU is to slow to decode and render the high resolution so they will play so slow (dropped frames) making it unwatchable.
I currently have my xbox hooked up to a monitor via xvga2 at 1080i. First of all, the DVDs refuse to run and second of all, when i run the xbmc at 720p and upscale the DVD, they tend to chug quite a bit. Should i not be able to run my upscaled 480p smoothly?
I am using a late august 05 build of XBMC, does something special needs to be configured for smooth playback?
