How to convert videos to watch on your Xbox 360

http://daz4590.co.uk/wordpress/2009/02/20/how-to-convert-videos-to-watch-on-y... After compiling a guide and video on how to convert videos for popular formats using the freeware software Handbrake I was requested to do a specific post concerning the Xbox 360. It is very simple and from my experience has worked perfectly! 1. Choose your Video or DVD file and load it into Handbrake. Choose the Xbox 360 preset and start the conversion process.
2. Once the .mp4 file is outputted, copy it across to a USB memory drive or USB external drive that is connected to your Xbox 360.
3. Turn on your Xbox 360 and go to Video and choose your USB memory. Then just select your file and play it to your hearts content!

so it dosent matter what kind of thumb drive it is, just as long as its more then a gig?

[dazz4590]

@metroid1985 Correct. Just needs to be big enough to fit the video file on it

I have a problem with my xbox. I bought a gaming magazine ( games aktuell) and it has a dvd with hd content on it. so i put the disk (hd content side) into my xbox , went to video , choose video and selectedt a review in hd. but it wasnt smooth and it was hanging every 5 sec. why is it doing that?

[dazz4590]

@laff100 Try it on your PC ad see if the disk is faulty.

@dazz4590 my pc can't even play a normal dvd fine...but i have 3 other of those dvd's with hd content and they all failed on my xbox...

@laff100 Strange... unfortunately I don't think I can help. Maybe try and see if a friend can play the disk in their PC or Xbox. Good luck!

@SwiftDemise9 im guessing that is a "yes", right?

how do i copy my videos on to my xbox360 from my usb?

[jimmypisstank]

So you are using a flash drive. Can I use a 16gig SD card and a card reader and do the same thing? What format does the card need to be in? FAT 32?

i aint connected to the internet and i've tried this so many times, keeps saying i need to update, i updated it through usb xbox 360 update files and still nothing!

@dazz4590 i think i might know what's going on... you see, i also had this problem a few months back so i searched it up and i came across a hd xbox 360 scart lead, i bought if off of ebay and when i used it the disc seemed to run fine... I know it may seem wierd but you may also want to buy a HD ready TV because these scart's only run on HD ready, there is also a switch on the scart to switch it from normal and HD, I hope i helped, Peace!
