hey dudes, i tried converting videos to two format just now, MP4 and WMV, and both failed to play thru USB thumbdrive. The MP4 format, i have to go online to get additional update to play it, and the WMV kenot play at all. why eh?

wooo.. just got the black rechargeble battery from Best Buy can't wait to see how it looks on my white controller

What did you use to convert?

I use ffmpeg, set the container to asf, vcodec to wmv1 / wmv2 , acodec to wmav / wmav2

or use WinAVIVideoConverter... that one nice...
but remember to all use FAT system on ur drive... *for those who use HDD...

ic ic. i used Alive Video Converter. None of the format works. I will try the software you guys recommended, thanx.

I'd recommend WinAVIVideoConverter too, easy and straight to the point. Also both River Past Video Cleaner and Xvid4PSP works better if u plan to encode to high bitrate 720p/1080p videos in any format.

eh... a lot of them duno... but they must remember that Xbox only read FAT... if you have a HDD from computer which is NTFS...
then you directly plug into ur Xbox it WON WORK!!!

Remember that Xbox 360 only support FAT format...

I've tried with my thumbdrive with FAT32 and that works mighty fine.

Yeah, it even works with external USB drives, as long as its fat32.
The 1 downside is FAT32 supports a max file size of 4GB only, which I learnt the hard way while transferring a HD movie
So, you still gotta buy the external hardisk to play em HD WMVs...

yea...either notebook HD wif USB also can..
tried with my 3.5" HDD also can...
HD Movies haven try yet though...

U mean NTFS? LOL.

Files larger than 4Gb, just stream from PC. Works that way.

xvid4psp? interesting, but this software will convert video to what format? MP4 or WMV?

Converts to MP4, just pick the MP4 for PS3 profile and you're good to go.

anyone here tried vacumm ur 360 vents using vacumm cleaner ???...mine was quite noisy and now after vacumm behind the vents..its a lil bit quiet...anyone tried using vacumm or maybe an air pressure ?...

i think a lot of ppl does that. but i havent tried.
raymond uses the lens blower or something like that to clear off the dust

Once I had to use the lense blower to fix my drive. It was giving the "Unplayable Disc" error. So far so good

hah? lens blower ? is it those like those camera lens use ? to blow off dust ...

Yup and it really works! Picked up the tip from the official xbox forum. If you don't have that, a good blow with the mouth will work as well

baik baik, blow from mouth got air liur (saliva) one XD.
