With my Xbox, I can watch videos that are on my pc. But this one video plays perfectly on pc, but on the xbox it's quality is pretty crap, its stuttery, very bad audio and bad video. I don't have this problem with other videos....

Help!

MIght be that there is a codec on the vid that your xbox just doesn't have... Maybe an update on the Xbox software will help!

Is this the right thread to put it in? Anyway, sorry, no clue

I didn't know, and it has to do with practising.

It is .avi.

Other avi videos run fine on the X bax:P

The only solution is quitting xBox and starting to play guitar more !

i think it could, as others have implied, be encoded with a codec that the xbox does a very poor job at decoding..
or it could be a extremely high-res video that cannot be streamed to the xbox fast enough, thus making it stutter..

i guess you could try converting the video using another codec

As far as I know Xbox should have no problem playing .avi at all. My friends have uploaded plenty of videos to their xbox's in .avi format.

If you haven't already, go on Live and see if you have update that is needed.

Hi there,

maybe it is a codec problem, avi is just a container format which can include a wide range of actual encodings. Can you somehow find out how your video file is encoded and compare it to other, smooth running, files?

If everything else is fine, it's probably a codec problem, in which case you could try to re-encode it. I don't know if that will work though.
