It maybe to with that, in WinAVI, with profile did you select (WMV9 and DVD quality video)?

[djmuli]

hmmm don't have those options. I am using an older version though, as the latest version crashes every time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I'll go through the options again.

[MattyT]

Yeah let me know.

I use quicktime pro, and my mac pro

quad 3ghz
2 gig ram
ati x1900xt

Using quicktime pro i can convert a 2 hour movie from any format to wmv in about 10 minutes.
what are your guys times???

how did u save to a wmv with quicktime pro

[jb502]

it is an option.
I have quictime PRO, 7.1
I also have something called flip4mac, wich lets quicktime play windows files.  this might be why i can do it.  i never tried it before i had flip4mac.  but if you get that, its free, i think you can do it 2.  I has always been under my export options.  

Export>movie to windows media

then pick your settings

So you need a plug in to do it in windows? Like jb502 said flip4mac might sort it out. I wonder why the encode times are considerably faster than bog standard windows encoders?

is it just the WMV format is CRAP or am i doing something wrong?

Finally got WinAvi working, and converts fine. But they looks HORRIBLE on my 360? so pixelated, even at highest quality. Is this just because wmv is crap?

I don't know what it is, but it looks like lower resolution WMVs are pixelated on the Xbox 360. On XBMC, they are very clean and don't really have any problems.

I hope someone develops some kind of streaming app that can stream any video over to 360 via realtime wmv conversion somehow.

That or the less likely, MS adding support for other formats.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I use Transcode360 to stream Divx, AVI, MPEG, etc. to my Xbox360.

The only problem is that you need MCE.

I was just wondering what you guys use? I think Videora 360 only supports "to Mpeg-2" converting. If the 360 can now play WMV files from a USB pen / DVD, surely its a better format to use.

Ive heard of Blaze Media Pro, and Agogo convereter; but i wasnt impressed with either   .

Any other ideas?

This one can encode 5.1 wmv, but it's a shareware

I think it's more about MPEG2 -> MPEG4 -> WMV being crap..

Because he has a quad processor system doing a multithreaded task.

I just tried WinAVI on some 350meg divx things I had sitting there.  The wmv's that came out of batch processing overnight look the same but they are all 850-950 megs in size.

Any way to shrink them a tad?  I used WMV9 DVD Quality and have the quality set to 90
