| Whats working - streaming video to the Xbox 360 in January 2008
xvid (also known as divx) with full dolby digital surround.
Sound and video remain sync'd - Video quality is acceptible, but not as good as a
good upscaling DVD player
How I got it working:
PC: Installed DVDFab, insert a movie
in DVDFAB: use the "DVD to Mobile" section and choose "Generic"
Select the main title, click next
click the single line that appears and click 'advanced' (lower right)
Choose xvid+Audiocopy from the drop down.
Set the kbps to 2000
Set the resolution to the highest setting (Currently 848x480 for
widescreen, 640x480 for full screen)
Change the Name and the title to things you'd want to see.
Click start (note: these files will default to an .AVI extension - this
is correct)
PC: Installed Media Player 11
- Enable content sharing
- add your DVDFAB output folder to the list of folders MP11 is sharing.
Xbox: Go to the "media" blade (not media center)
- select videos
- press the x button to change source
- select your PC
You'll see a list of shared media.
Select one and play it.
after approx a 2 second delay your movie will start.
observe the stunning Dolby Digital surround sound.
Hit the right shoulder button on the controller - you will jump forward.
go towards the end - observe that sound and video are still in sync...
