Poor Mkv/h264 Quality When Streaming To The 360
« on: April 10, 2010, 03:22:00 AM »

I have quite a few 1080p MKV files that I have been streaming to the 360 via a homeplug network.  I have installed the divx 7 preview to get the MKVs to show up in Media Center.  My issue is that the quality is very grainy and certainly not fluid.  I know that the speed of the connection is not an issue as the homeplug is 200mb.  I assume that the PC is doing the decoding here and not the 360?  My PC is a quad core Athlon 64 so that is not an issue, although my Graphics Card is about 2 years old ( just a standard £40 GeForce) - could this be an issue?  If the PC is doing the decoding first, what does it use?  I have ffmpg and Haaji Media Spitter installed I think.

If I turn the file into a compliant AVCHD disc and play it on the PS3 it looks great so I know that the original file is a good quality one.

Help!

So - wired through a homeplug system.  It's not stuttering, it's just not a particularly fluid picture with grain.

hmm idk, did you have a codec package installed before you installed the divx 7?
