TVersity, Xbox360 and .mkv.....

Indeed I've had mixed results with .mkv files and therefore had only sparodic results in playing HD via the Xbox360 thusfar.

So.............research.......!

I found Xmedia Recode, a lovely bit of freeware, which seems to do the job. It even has a profile ready for the 360 - and the results seem good. It does seem to recode down to 480 lines from 720 but then the resulting files plays without a problem.....and still looks good on 32". It does claim to be using a h.264 codec but playback reports an "avc1" codec being used. Still...... at least I can play it now!!

Investigation? To continue! And to test if the DM can play back these alleged h.264 files ;-)
