video format for 360

[Atari5200]

Ok so i know it plays WMV, but does it currently play anything else? If not, does anybody know what good software is availabe to convert to WMV?

There's some software that will convert MPEG4 to WMV on the fly from a streaming server, but that seems like the long way around to me when cheapo $60 DVD players can do other formats out of the box.

 

The May 2007 dashboard upgrade is supposed to support other video formats.

I paid $80 for a Panasonic DVD player that upscans to 720p/1080i and it reads every major format. Just go with that. I noticed my Xbox 360 doesn't read the DVD-R's I have either. Could be the brand I use. But for $80, I now don't have to worry about it.

It probably the media. My 360 reads DVD-R. BTW it takes A LOT of CPU horsepower and time to convert something to HD WMV quality if that's what you are looking to do. It's easy to use a DVD player that plays multiple format or better yet soft mod an Xbox 1 and use the amazing XBMC. I have 2 soft modded Xboxes mainly for XBMC.
