Xbox 360 wmv conversion?
 

anyone know of any other encoder other than the windows media encoder 9 to convert a vid to wmv-hd format?
i bought an external usb hdd for use on my xbox. i formatted to hfs+ with macdrive, so i could put a larger than 4gb file on there. i have converted a few tv shows in 720p
that came out fine with WME, but i d/led boogey nights, and it never seems to get the job done. i'll start it before i go to bed and when i wake up it says 12hrs left, so i go to work, i get back(8hrs later) and it says 11hrs left? its ------ retarded.
just wondered if any of you knew of another converter/encoder.

There could be a lot of reasons it's encoding slowly. If you have windows file indexing on that could slow it down, as well as any other programs running at the time.

i tried closing as many other progs as i could, but it didn't seem to help.
it is an old laptop, but i have converted a 43min tv show in about 2hrs, so i fugured many 7hrs for a movie, but damn.
i found this River Past Video Cleaner, they say it will do it, but its not free. and i can't seem to find a reliable crack

If you go donwload the fall update, and download the subsiquent upgrades when you try to play an unknown codec. 360's will default play mpeg-4, and anything set correctly encoded to mpeg-4 style. divx, xvid, etc...


quit being gay converting to windows media bullshit.

Re: Xbox 360 wmv conversion?
 

ya, well the windows media bullshit is the only one that will support 5.1

so encode it to divx?

DO IT FAGGOT!

Re: Xbox 360 wmv conversion?
 

you're a dumbass to go through all the re-encoding and loose video quality just to have pissy surround sound.

Re: Xbox 360 wmv conversion?
 

the 360 doesn't support surround sound for divx either
FAGGOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (you ------ douche)

and yes i will go through the encoding for the sound, thats part of the movie, but who says you loose quality?
same framerate, same bitrate, same resolution. i don't understand where you think the loss would be.

Re: Xbox 360 wmv conversion?
 

because it's not a staright conversion from one to another, and they are ALL lossy compression bumfuck.
any re-ecoding is a quality loss.

well i've done it before and i couldn't tell a difference, so it negligible to me.
btw its in .mkv format
