hey guys just like the title says, i have a bunch of video's that are taking up space and currently i don't have the funds to buy an external and i would like to just put them on my 360 Hard Drive which is pretty empty aside from 2 cd's and a few game saves. So is it possible to convert them in Mac OS X, similar to Hand brake or iSquint? i just want them to be playable on my 360. then when i get an external i will have one USB going to the 360 and one to my mac for back up and storage. then i will have all my media available on the 360. PLEASE do NOT tell me to get connect360, i have it and paid for it with no luck. Thanks in advance.

I'd be interested to know this info too...I'll do a little research


I tried converting movies to WMV to stream with connect360 but never got them to recognize...

Anyone have a solution, I need to get these off my mac mini for the time being. and i would like to put them on the 360 rather then put a data disk in every time i want to watch seinfeld or family guy.

Does VisualHub transcode to WMV though?

edit: shiet it does, I updated it recently and never looked at the new tabs.

To the OP go try VisualHub it's a great app.

You'll get video, but no audio to accompany it (yet) with Visual Hub.

Great program though

i'm not sure if there's any way to encode to .wma on the Mac...i didn't read up, but Flip4Mac doesn't do it?

SO! there is no way to get videos off "memory sticks and data/dvds" like microsoft says? does windows xp have a converter cause i have xp pro and i uninstalled it because i wasn't using it for anything (i was gonna use it for games but a 360 kills a core solo mini)

The latest beta of visual hub should do this. www.techspansion.com

The fella that does visualhub is working hard to get the X360 conversion working. Visualhub is a top notch app, making small work of large transcoding jobs. If he gets this working and he's ever in Iowa, I'ma buy him a steak.
