Streaming Video for Xbox 360

[ekaminer]

The Xbox 360 will not play video over a network that is MPEG4 or H.264 encoded. However, I am having problems finding the right formula for success in creating the video. The VS11 terminology and the Xbox 360 terminology for what is supports do not match.

Can anyone give me the right properties to generate one of these files that I can play on my Xbox 360?

Evan, I'm struggling with an Xbox too! Did you find any solutions to your problem?

Do you need exact instructions? Sometimes not easy to find. Nero 7 has a media server that the xbox should also be able to connect to.
Xbox needs to see a WMV stream for playing over the network.

Thank you for the links. However, I already have this working.

What I am looking for is specific rendering settings to generate mp4/mov files that will work.

WMV generates large files that are hard to store.

Work with what, as you already know (I think you know this), the Xbox360 doesn't play mpeg4/h264.
If your encoder is processing on-the-fly or prerendering it should be using the wmv-9 codec, which in itself is very efficient.

If you wait for the VS11+ patch you will be able to encode H264 video.
MF6+ can encode H264 video and it's in the avchd Transport Stream disk format. You should use a fairly fast computer with avchd hardware accelleration for playing back H264 video.

Sorry if I mis-understood your question and my response doesn't relate to your question..

I'm having problems with playback. I have set my 2nd monitor to 1080i resolution using my graphics card's settings (nvidia). I'm using component connection (red, green and blue). How come playback flickers real bad? No problem using DVI but my card only supports one DVI and one D-SUB and the DVI connection I'm using for my primary monitor. I don't want to have to spend for a new graphics card. Can anyone please help?
