BigPaul2006 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Hey I've just successfully setup my home theatre system the way I want it...32 inch hdtv connected to my xbox 360 which is wirelessly connected to my wrt54gl running DD-WRT and connected to my data server which houses a number of iso's of all my movies. I'd like to get it to where I can select my server as the source of video content on the network and essentially stream these movies wirelessly to the 360. From what I've read, the 360 can only read a limited number of video formats. This brings me to my question... What would be the best format to convert my iso's into that way I maintain the best video and sound quality without it being an extremely huge file? What program would I use to convert the ISO into that file format? I know I'll have to cut out menu's and what not so you don't have to explain that part. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPaul2006 Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thanks, but my question was what reliable piece of software (xp compatible) would you use and recommend in converting a raw dvd ISO into something that 360 can read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kl33per Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 HandBrake is super easy to use with a built in Xbox 360 preset. It's pretty quick, has excellent quality, and very easy to use. It's what I use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
