So I've went to the trouble of networking my 360 to my pc so I can watch me some videos. yay for me. The problem is only an elite number of my divx videos even work the rest of them crash windows media player 11's network share software. I have a vast collection of old divx files. Some are even in a beta form of the divx codec called "sub distro" sub distro was a hacked divx codec from years and years ago. Anyway. Does anyone know of a tool I May use to convert my older video files into a more modern 360 friendly format? Ive used videora xbox360 converter it seems to want to convert videos into a format that is meant to be burnt to a dvd. "not what i'm looking for" SO I then used The official divx converter. This tool converts my videos to divx, yet its some special divx format that only the official divx player will read. Even windows media player wont play them. So what I really need. Is a conversion tool to convert old outdated divx formats into shiny new formats that the 360 will read via my pc over a network.
Anyone who had any ideas of where to find a tool like this. Well that person will just score all kinds of brownie points with me:thumbup:

Peace Shades :cool:

Try Tversity (http://tversity.com/home), for some reason that dang wmp did not want to connect with my 360.

Btw Tversity had support for divx long before microsoft added the feature ;)

Ahh forgot to tell ya
The program just streams the video, I am not so sure on if it converts your videos. Sorry about that sp, but it does a solid job and its free lol.

Tversity does a better job then windows media player 11, where windows media player would crash, Tversity will not. Its much more stable. and all my old divx files work. This is by far, "way more" better then windows media player 11. Thanks man :cool:
