Hi guys,
I have been trying to figure this out over Google but they require you to download programs that I don't really trust or know how to use.
Any help on how I could convert MKV files so I can play them through my xbox would be amazing.
Cheers.
 
what codecs can the 360 play?
i know the ps3 can play h264 codecs, just not in mkv container. i used mkv2vob to remux the file into a different container (mp4 or vob) takes very little time and you dont lose any quality of audio or video

If your use windows 7 or Vista use Windows media center extender.

Its way better than Tversity as it doesnt need to convert anything on the fly, instead it plays it on your pc and streams it to your xbox. So any file format that plays on your pc will play on your xbox 360. Tveristy only played about 70% of my movies.

I also have a dual tuner in my pc, and that integrates with media center, so my pc also acts as a tv recorder using media center, so through media center on my xbox its set so i can watch all my videos, photos, music, movies and recorded tv thats on my pc in High definition, without the need to convert.

To play mkv's you do need to download a codec.
 
mkvs wont work through windows media center.

Great thread.

I've tried to stream 1080p and 720p mkv files over ethernet to a 360 with no luck. I've tried PS3 Media Server, Tversity, a product from DivX Labs and Windows Media Center.

My computer is wired to a router in my room as I use the Wifi and also have a PS3 connected to it. The router connects to our modem down the hall, which is also connected (wired - Cat5) to the 360 in the living room.

I've tried so many different programs/configurations so I'm keen to hear if anyone has been able to transcode HD files on the fly to a 360.

I can stream everything I can throw at my PS3 though.
 
Thanks for all the amazing suggestions guys. I tried all of them to try and play my 7.94gb Scott Pilgrim vs the World MKV file, unfortunately none of them worked. Two of the programs had no sound and the ps3 media server couldnt keep up, the audio was out of sync and the movie stutters continously. Extremely frustrating because it would be an eyegasm to watch, I have admitted defeat in this instance.
It works with all my other files though - How To Train Your Dragon looked amazing.
Thankyou once again.
