Converting Video for the 360

[clwilla]

Flip4Mac does work, and it works well. But in order to get the version
that is customizable (as opposed to only being allowed to use
templates) is expensive ($99). If template are all one needs though,
$49 will get you there.

I only have the trial version of flip4mac, and it does work. VisualHub
(http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/) used to work until an Xbox
update made it so that one had to use WMA as the audio codec in video
files, while VisualHub uses Mp3. It is said that a fix being worked
on, but who knows when that will work out.

So far, there is no easy or cheap way to encode for the Xbox 360, but
solutions do exist.

Wow. Thanks for the info. So for $49 Flip4Mac would solve my problem?
Good to know!

Just so you know, there was a Visual Hub update this w/e that includes
WMA support. I d/led the update last night, but havn't had a chance to
use it yet...will let you know how I get on...VH is a lovelyprogram,
with a great UI, and if it works now I'd recommend it over Flip4Mac in
the usability stakes...

Let me know what you find out!

I downloaded Visual Hub last night and it still doesn't work. Maybe
I'm doing something wrong?

It looks like I was successful today in converting a MOV file to WMV
that Connect360 recognizes. I have a bunch of AVI files at home that I
hope are able to convert as easy. I will post my results.
