Best Video Playback Quality For Xbmc
« on: December 22, 2011, 02:13:00 PM »

You probably would have been better off asking this over in the Xbmc4Xbox sub-forum, or the official xbmc4xbox forums. http://www.xbmc4xbox.org/forum/

You can find links to the latest SVN, or T3CH, builds at the top of the forum there.

Here's a chart for encoding your own videos: http://xbmc4xbox.org...h_XBMC_For_Xbox

It's been said that with the right bitrates, one can even get decent 720p playback.

BUT, this all means that you have to encode your own videos yourself.

EDIT;

I forgot to mention that I sometimes use my PS3 to playback videos via the 'PS3 Media Server' program. If your PC isn't totally ancient (I actually use a [email protected]), you can set it up to stream content from your PC's hard-drive to Xbmc4Xbox as an UPnP server.

Here's a guide by 'Dan Dar3'. http://dandar3.blogs...ranscoding.html

FYI

Blu ray rip:
ffmpeg -i file.avi
  Duration: 01:34:48.65, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 3754 kb/s
    Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 1280x696 [PAR 1:1 DAR 160:87], 23.98 tbr, 23.98 tbn, 23.98 tbc
    Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 448 kb/s

Plays perfect over samba/windows share.
