My friend has several DVD movies that he has converted to .avi (Xvid with multi-channel AC3) and stored on his PC. When he streams them from his PC using Windows 7 Media Center to his Xbox 360, the playback is VERY choppy. The Xbox 360 is on a wired ethernet connection with the router and he is on a wireless connection with his PC that he strongly believes is 'G' rated. I have succesfully streamed movies that were 720p on a wireless G network in the past, so I am wondering if maybe Media Center is transcoding on the fly and the choppy video is a result of the CPU being unable to keep up. Transcoding really shouldn't be necessary, since Xbox supports .avi with Xvid and AC3 multi-channel, so how would I turn the transcoder off? At any rate, it's a current generation AMD dual-core so I wouldn't think that it should have a problem anyway, unless Media Center is using h264 as the default codec.
Any ideas?
