Best video format for 360?

Post by GeekMan » Thu Dec 20, 2007 5:28 pm

I'm trying to use TwonkyVision to stream DVD content from my ReadyNAS to my 360. However, the 360 doesn't seem to be able to "see" the VOB files of my DVDs. What's the best (meaning uncompressed or least compressed) video format you would recommend for viewing video through the 360?

For the XBOX 360 use WMV VC1 for HD content.

Dear Members

I have some .mov files in HD, I would like to convert them to .wmv VC-1 (WMV9). Do you know any software that could do this, I mean convert to VC-1?

I will be grateful for any help. Thank you in advance.
Sincerely

walshchristopherj;
Is WMV VC1 an uncompressed format? Meaning, will I retain all the menus, extras, audio choices, etc. of my DVDs? Or, is WMV VC1 a compressed video codec solely for playback of the movie?
