XBOX 360 Stream DVD ISO Rips?

[austin316]

I have ripped many of my dvds to a server as .iso files (just the main movie and ac3 soundtrack) and was wondering if I could stream these to be played on the 360 in my bedroom?

Thanks!

You want to get a program like tversity or transcode360 to do that.

The 360 only supports mpeg-4, wmv, and H.264 natively. There are programs to transcode from other formats, but ISO's might not work. If you only ripped the main movie and audio, why didn't you just encode into a movie file? If you want to share the movies with many devices you should consider not keeping them as .iso files on your server.

AFAIK Transcode 360 and Tversity only work with DivX and Xvid, and even then they do the conversion on the fly to .wmv, so it takes a powerful computer and the quality isn't always so great.

There is a way to do but it is VERY convoluted and annoying. Google something like ' VOB files on Xbox 360 Media Center Extender' and you might pull it up. You're best is just to rip the movie to Divx and Transcode or rip straight to wmv.

In addition to regular playback of XviD and DivX, Transcode 360 supports DVD ISO and VIDEO_TS folder streaming with subtitles; determining the best combination of soundtrack/subtitles appropriate to you based on your locale.

I've tried it before. It works. Is it an ideal solution? No. But it works.
