Well, according to apple.com it seems to be an h.264 only device.

No divx.
No mpeg2.

     Spend a little more on a minimac and you can have any codec you
want, a myth frontend running on it and a myth slave backend running
on it burning through commflagging and transcode jobs.

     Even if you don't want Myth there is probably a Mac only media
center package that's more flexible than what the iTV offers.
