DVDFab DVD to Mobile settings for Xbox 360??

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I've been fighting with settings and codecs for about 5 days now, trying to find the best one (or sometimes one that works) for encoding DVDz from my server to play on the Xbox 360. The network is setup, I can get a few things to play usually from the cell phone category).

What is the best setting (video codec & container and audio setup) to use for this? Also, what resolutions are best? I have a plain (albeit decent) TV, no widescreen or HD stuff.

Why don't you get Handbrake? It has presets for Xbox 360.

DVDFab Mobile does too. However, even with the presets, it allows you to tweak it. That being said, I've done DVD > PSP and it has worked perfectly, but I've never tried DVD > 360. I may try it to see if I can offer you some help.

Thanks!

I did find this Xbox 360 video FAQ which was some help. Doing a lot of runs to see how vids come out, and comparing DVDFab and Handbrake, to see which come out better.

I can't get anything from Handbrake to work right. Just throws an error on the Xbox 360 when I try to play it. I have gotten some of the DVD Fab ones to work though. Just a matter of finding the right combination after trying them all I guess, which is what it is doing now.

I use Fairuse Wizard to do my encoding and I've been using Xvid/Ac3 in the .avi container and they stream great and retain 5.1 surround sound.
