D-Links Gamer Lounge DGL-4300 router now supports WPA2. Stay tuned for a Windows XP update (note: now available but not for XP x64) that enables this on the client side. Looks like most cards that support AES should support this. Even the Microsoft MN-720 (you’ll need to use someone else’s Broadcom based driver to get this to work since MS isn’t supplying updates)! the MN-700 Microsoft Base Station will NOT be upgradeable.

I have to say that preparing and converting Recorded TV from MCE (convert to mpeg4) content to copy to a memory stick duo takes far less time than transcoding DVR-MS to WMV.

1. need to have the sonic encoders installed

2. Use DVR-Edit from the green button. Trim DVR-MS file and kill commercials

3. Get Power Director 4 Trial. Load edited file (have to do it twice because the first time it complains). Convert to mp2 (takes 4 minutes!!!!!!!!!)

4. go here and do what they document

(takes 10 minutes for one hour show)

So, it took an hour to transcode last nights season finale of Battlestar Galactica to WMV to load on my Creative Zen PMC and 16 minutes total to get onto my Sony PSP (and I was slow because it was the first time I've tried this)
