Anybody know what or where i can get a program that converts my movies to X box (besides dvd) i want to convert them to x box format....???*-)
If it's an Xbox 360: You don't need a program to convert it, copy the videos onto a memory stick and they will almost certainly work. My 360 plays virtually every legitimate film I've got perfectly. The 360 supports WMVs and AVI's with MPEG2,4, H264, DivX and XVid, along with some other formats.
But my Avi's are the problem, it keeps saying to me, i need to get some update on x box live, everything else is perfectly fine, Dvd's and WMV's work perfect, so its just my AVI's that dont play, i think nutter told me about getting that update, as its linked with your x box, you cant download it somewhere, only from live.....
Yes that’s right, if you’re on Xbox Live it will download the update to play Divx / Xvid, its impossible to get that update from anywhere else. I believe Tvserity should allow your pc to convert video as it streams to a format your Xbox 360 can play, this is what people used before the 360 got the Divx update.
You need to update it from x box live, and it specific updates tie into your console, it will not work on other console's, so even if you download the update and manage to take it of your console somehow, it will not work on any other console.
I've managed to get some updates last nite, not sure which they were, havent really tested and avi or divx movies to check if i got the necessary updates. will have a look when i get home, but once u on live, wer would you go to get the specific updates??
Hopefully this will give you the info you need cardo69: AfterDawn.com: Guides: How to play AVI files on Xbox 360
Hi erm ive got this problem toi my xbox just wont play any video at all. i'm not on live so i cant download any updates so IM FUCKED I was wondering though if instead of taking the whole console round to a friends house if you could just take the hard drive? any comments would be much appreciated thanks
If you signed in to live just play a Divx movie and it will ask you to download an optional media update, say yes and your good to go. You would need to take your console and hard drive as the media update needs to be tied to your consoles ID to work offline.
But your console should'nt have a problem playing WMV AND DVD formats, that should be standard on the console??
