Do you have all your codecs installed for vista? Install the latest version of ffdshow? Divx codec?

You have version 4.5.8 of the Vista Codec Package installed.

I changed to vista 64bit from xp about 3 months ago, I used wmp11 on both to stream and I didn't have to change anything when I switched, worked first time.

That codec pack is god awful - I use ffdshow and I find it a lot better. So what exactly is it doing when you try to play the video on the 360? Is it not finding it or is it not displaying it?

Use Tversity and forget the nonsense MS use.

A better solution is to get a PS3

Plus in addition PS3 works with more hardware devices making it a truly wireless media hub. Bluetooth, big HDD etc. helps too. etc. etc. etc.
