Any of you awesome Mac owners do this?
I used to use an app called playback for this but lately it's been losing connection during movies..
What do you guys use and is it any good?

I don't use my Mac to stream to XBOX, but I use Serviio from a Linux machine - and it supports Mac...

Not sure what the difference between the standard and the 'Pro' edition are, but the free one works fine for what I need (transcoding on the fly etc.)

Try rivet. I was using vuze which has plugins to convert movies into Xbox or iTunes format but now I just use vuze to convert movies into iTunes and rivet to stream to my Xbox. Free download. Highly recommend.

+1 to Connect 360 been using it for years works well.
Cost's $20 though. Trial version free but limited.
