[MEncoder-users] Script for h264 conversion for mencoder

[Cameron Just]

Thanks for all that info.... converted using what you suggested and 
unfortunately still not working even the alternate options you said to 
try...

I also realised based on
http://blogs.msdn.com/xboxteam/archive/2007/05/09/spring-07-video-playback-faq.aspx

that the filenames has to be one of .mp4, .m4v, mp4v, .mov

Tried all of these extensions and still not working..

It could also be because I am using windows media player 11 to 
communicate with the xbox 360... I do not have windows media centre 
edition... this could be another limitation?

I can't wait till they hack these xbox 360's and we can have a similar 
app to xbox media centre on this... that uses mplayer for playback and 
can playback anything without all these retarded restrictions..

Thanks again for all your help this appears to be a fruitless exercise
