What codecs to play vid files on 360

Plunk13 · 12 Jan 2007 at 15:16

Testing on WinXP + TVERSITY, and also soon-to-expire version of VISTA+Media center, I've got the FFDSHOW codecs installed but I can't play AVI or HD material on the 360. Format is not recognised. I can convert HF files from TS to the microsoft format, but I've been told I don't need to.

Any advice on what codec packs would work?

The 360 will only play wmv and mp2 videos.

If you can play the files on windows media player (not necessarily WMP11) then tversity should be able to stream them across to the XBox360 without any problem.

If you sort out the codecs to play under WMP, then tversity will stream them just fine.

The whole point of tversity is that it takes whatever format/extension video files you have (divx/mpeg/avi) and converts them to XBox360 friendly formats on the fly.

Yeah, that's the thing. I'm trying to sort out the codecs. Any suggestions on suitable codec packs?

CCC (Combined Community Codec pack)
