Anyone knoe if you can do this? i have transcode 360 wanted to encode a film burn it and play it back. I know i should use MCE but my MCE rig is down and fancied an alternative

In a word, no. Doubt the 360 will read copied disks anyway.

Edit - ignore, didn't read the OP correctly

You can only watch avis's etc, if they are converted to a proper DVD format.

You can convert a AVI to DVD and it plays fine on your 360.. just make sure you use good quality discs.. I updated my portfolio DVD the other day and tested it on my 360 and its fine.

WinAvi or svcd2dvdmpg are both ideal and very simple to use

I'm quite big, so you'll need a BluRay disc

Just to warn you

If you use the FilmFactory it has a good mpeg encoder.. and then you need somthing to convert the files to DVD.. I use the TmpegEnc suite.. its not the simplest but you get the best results i find.
