Microsoft admits to video playback issue with Xbox 360
On Thursday, Microsoft decided to admit there was a problem with the game console's video playback. Microsoft's Larry Hyrb posted a note on his Twitter account saying, "We’re aware of the colorspace issue w/ some Xbox video apps & are working on a fix. No ETA yet but we hope to have an update soon."
While that sounds like good news on the surface there have been more reports of other video issues with the Xbox 360. Earlier this month, Digital Foundry did another investigation and found that 1080p video outputs can play back but have been scaled down to 720p resolution, among other issues.
We do have to wonder why Microsoft elected to launch the new Dashboard update with all of these fairly obvious video issues. Hopefully Microsoft will get all of these video playback problems solved in the near future.

Oasis I haven't noticed anything, any decent videos I watch elsewhere anyway. I'm one of the few left that still mostly reserves my Xbox for gaming - crazy I know, but I never bought it as a substitute for a set top box.That's mainly all i use my Xbox for and that's basically how it should be used in my opinion.

Ant I keep getting constant buffering on my videos and my internet is fine.
This, my internet is fine and downloading DLC from the marketplace is usually fast but however whenever I try to watch a video from the dashboard it buffers like every 3 seconds.

I agree with you.
Consoles = gaming
TV + Set Top + Blue ray + home theater = entertainment
