media center questions..help wanted!
I have recently set up my vista media center pc and I have set up 2 xbox360's as media extenders. What I would like to do is make home movies (no editing) and drag and drop thes video files to Vista pc and then be able to watch the video on my media extenders. I am going to buy a new video camera, a hd model with a hard drive. My question is can I do this without converting the video to another format? Does anyone make a camcorder that records in a format that is supported by media center or does anyone make a plugin for media center that will allow AVCHD playback? Which format is used to record standard def. video as opposed to high def. ? Any help would be greatly appericated -- bryanport ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bryanport's Profile: http://camcorderanswers.com/member.php?userid=9085 View this thread: http://camcorderanswers.com/showthread.php?t=6721 http://camcorderanswers.com |

media center questions..help wanted!
Have u had success with this? I just bought Sony HDR-SR11. Love the camera,
but about to pull my hair out over AVCHD/H.264 Codec issues. If I shoot SD with the SR11 it creates .mpg I can view fine over Vista Media Center to XB360. The HD .m2ts files on the other hand are an issue. Media Player Classic (strongly recommended - http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...er_Classic.htm) will play them, and finally got playing in WMP 11 after installing Haali media splitter and newer ffdshow. Still have to rename to .mpg (they are actually MPEG-4 files). However, Media Center errors out - won't play it even though WMP does. I need to figure out some way to play the HD video through Media Center until Blu-Ray burners come down in price.

Is this on a 32bit or 64bit system? -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.

32bit. Also, the HD .m2ts files will play (after renaming to .mpg) via Media
Center *on the PC * but not through Xbox. Is something needed on Xbox to support? "zachd [MSFT]" wrote: Is this on a 32bit or 64bit system? -- Speaking for myself only.

I don't believe Xbox supports M2TS at this time. The Xbox teams might know that kind of thing. =\ -- Speaking for myself only. See http://zachd.com/pss/pss.html for some helpful WMP info.
