i have a dvd that has burned divx/xvid movies (as in multiple movies on one disk) and its only coming up as a mixed media disk and wont let me play it... does each movie have to be on an individual disk?

I just finally got it to work,you have to go to where you would select the option from where, in your video tab is,then select the disk then play easy as that.

waited till 5am to d/l the update and since then been trying to throw my whole collection @ it.  All types of DVD+/-r DVD+/-RW CD-R CD-RW and everything from 2004+ that was released works perfect.  I dont know how everyone has weird problems with it sometimes..  watching Tin Man right now and looks amazing..

side not: tried some Telesync files and granted they look good only thing it needs is a video settings adjuster like in XBMC for brightness and stuff.. but like Gizmondo said i agree with defintley about 90% right and by far the best update to 360 date

"Most of these, and most TV downloaded TV shows, are encoded in XviD format"

Don't u just love that line?

I can't wait, although I am for a while until a live log post-update.

Too bad no x264, but this is the best update ever for the 360.

did u check if it played

well i streamed wirelessly some divx and they worked fine, i plugged in a usb stick and it played fine... BUT xternal hdd doesnt seem to work for me, not even for mp3s


anyone knows if this is supported ?

Doesn't seem to support CBR mp3 in divx/xvid. VBR plays fine.  I've tried several different files with no success.  Anyone confirm?

The only prob i have is i cant get it to work off a disk,Is there a certain way you have to write them?I do mine as data disk,But other than that works really good.

yeah there is... stick the disc in and goto "media blade" > "videos" section and then select "change video source" and then select the dvd-rom drive and thats that it works... it made me download about a 2-3MB additional update before it could play the XviD movies i have.

I've just tested it with my some old dvd-r's (UDF format) with a couple of avi's(DIvX) that I wrote for XBMC on my xbox, works perfectly, very impressed and very happy!  Next step : dump all 50 multifilm-dvd's onto a USB external HD!

i agree here i noticed this to ... XBMC cant play discs at all that are burned in UDF ONLY format. (but they know this but for some reason wont change it... something to do with standard dvd playback conflicting i think)

although it generally aint a real problem since most xvid files are generally 700MB or 1400MB (it's still less than 2GB limit) you can just burn the disc with IMGBurn with the "ISO9660 + Joliet + UDF" and they play fine on XBMC.

----------------------

it's great theres finally divx/xvid support ... but the real goldmine would be x264 (.mkv) support as thats the "real" advantage (cause of CPU limitations on xbox1) there since xbox1 can do divx/xvid already and does it overall better still even though the xbox360 divx/xvid support seems pretty good from my early testing... main reason i dont think i could use xbox360 over the original xbox1 with XBMC is since i put the Nyko Intercooler EX on my 360 it's noise level went up fairly high and watching movies with that noise level is sorta 50/50 lol

FAT32 or HFS+

NTFS is not supported

This is by far and away the most useful update MS have given us, I'm currently watching an xvid file from an old DVDR and its running perfectly, although the 360 is upscaling it to 1080i for some reason.

I think whats even more amazing is that MS gave us this as an early Christmas gift and didn't make us pay for it, which they could have done and most of us including me probably would have paid.

It does support CBR audio. I have confirmed it. You video is most likely an older version of Divx, I have several movies encoded with Divx 3 and none of them work, whereas all of the ones I did with Divx 5 or newer play just fine.

quick question: does divx work thru media center?

reason why i ask is i just got the update and tried playing a few thru media center but gives cannot play file blue screen

 i'm about to try it with my usb stick and see if that works

i posted earlier in the update thread in the xbox 360 general forum and when playing divxs the screen blanks out and only the sound plays. what the problem is with my wierd no picture but sound on my divx files playback is im using the vga cable at the resolution of 1360x768 on a samsung 32 lcd and when i play a divx the picture blanks out and switches the resolution to 640x480 and theres no picture and basically the console locks up, if i change the resolution down to 640x480 then the divx plays fine no problems, its also works fine when i use component cables, can anyone else emulate this bug?

Many thanks

i get exactly the same problems... though i have a different TV, but my setup is also 1360x768 using PAL x360. when i press the info button on my TV the resolution says 640x480@59Hz but blank screen with sound
