Works for me too. FFDShow is the key for transcoding.

Actually not working that good. I still have quite a bit of stuff it won't transcode oddly enough.

It's weird. It's happy to transcode a 200 meg XVid copy of a Family Guy episode but it won't transcode a 700 meg xvid episode of Heroes (Or an SVCD copy either).

Nope. As far as I can tell I can only get it to transcode a single avi file. All the rest it decides is an unknown format. Bugger. It used to work better than this.

The largest file I've tried is about 380meg & it worked fine.

Been happily watching Simpsons, Family Guy, Earl, 24, etc.

I used to have it working ages ago too. I've no idea what's going wrong at the moment though.

Have you installed the 360 patch?

HGFB · Post by **HGFB** » Sat May 12, 2007 2:56 pm 0

Yeah. The folders thing is working fine. I can only get it to play a single avi file though (And my wmvs of course).

I think I've wasted enough time on this now. As far as I can tell I've done everything right but it still won't transcode properly. The Tversity forums are no real help either. Everyone has different ideas of what to do to make things work.

Of course MS could solve the problem easily by spending some of their millions on some popular codec support instead of pushing WMV to the bitter end. You think they'd have done it already just to make the 360 an even better TV hub than the PS3.

Now it's just being mental. I manage to get it to play a different Xvid. Excellent I say and go try to play some others. No such luck. Back to the first XVid (Without changing any settings) and that won't play either!

For fucks sake. Transcoding is bloody annoying.

H264 and MP4 work fine here.

Was never a massive fan of it in the arcade...

Me neither. Dragon Ninja was miles better IMO.

Plays pretty much as the arcade version did.

Make of that what you will.

Simple. Just elbow your way through the entire game with such ease that can only be compared to Bruce Lee on the Speccy.

Pinball FX is good fun though.

Yeah. Shame everyone else is using Xvid

Did anything ever happen with that new Sega Afterburner arcade port that was on the French xbox site last year?

7 Hours? Are you using 56k dial up or something?

Man, you're going to be pissed when you realise theres only about four minutes of gameplay in there

I downloaded it in an hour and a bit, I think.
