Does anyone else use this program for converting media? I use my xbox to stream media to my TV and connect360 is supposed to handle .MP4s plus H.246's and no MKV and some AVIs. I am looking for a good program mainly for MKV to MP4 and MKV4Xbox is too buggy sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. I think it can only handle a certain file size.

**the program given above seems to do what I want it to do, however it is taking very long to complete I will post another update to give a final decision.

***Takes forever because the MKV to MP4 recoding will easily increase the size by 2,000% (ex. 750mb MKV to 12.6GB MP4) these are pretty much unusable on xbox as streaming this would be impossible. Going to play around with the settings in order to get a better time converting and a more stable conversion.

****After a while I was fed up with the slow converts (new settings still take 1-2 hours), so I loaded an episode of Top Gear and took the SD settings in order to have compatibility with Connect360 yet every time I try to load something it gives me an error saying that the format is unsupported and cannot play when it clearly is supported it is just a .MP4 nothing out of the ordinary... I do no understand it and this is very frustrating. Does anyone have ANY experience with converting media (mainly MKV) to work with connect 360?
 
My advice: update your xbox dashboard and try out "Rivet". I find I can pretty much play all formats that I have and setup is really simply.
 
I'd stay far away. That software is one of the top spammed software on these forums.
