    I'm trying to get my 360 to play movies from my PC using Tversity but It ain't working :confused:

    I've managed to add some VOB files to tversity and it shows up on the 360 dashboard but says that it can't read the format.
    Am I missing a codec pack for on the fly conversions? Where do you get these?

    Anyone else had an issue like this and even better a solution :)

    I haven't tried directly with .VOB files before, but for most other formats I have found the following list useful from TVersity.com

    Transcoding of some file formats require the installation of third party directshow filters that are compatible with TVersity. TVersity recommends:

    Transcoding of some file formats require the installation of third party directshow filters that are compatible with TVersity. TVersity recommends:
    ffdshow - for MPEG2/4, H.264, Divx, Xvid, AAC, FLAC, Vorbis, FLV, and many more
    Haali Media Splitter - for better MP4 and H.264 support and for OGG/OGM and Matroska.
    Real Alternative - for Real audio and video.
    Quicktime Alternative - for MOV.
    MP4 Source/Splitter* - for better MOV support.
    FLV Splitter* - required for FLV playback (a more recent version with support for FLV4/VP62 is here - courtesy of videohelp.com).
    AC3 Filter - recommended for better AC3 support (in which case AC3 should be disbaled in ffdshow).

    *To install this filter extract the archive (via 7Z) and then run regsvr32 on the extracted .ax file from the command line. To uninstall it use regsvr32 /u (On Vista UAC must be first turned off or regsvr32 won't run).Alternatively you can use the following Windows installers http://tversity.com/tools/FLVSetup.zip and http://tversity.com/tools/MP4Setup.zip
