How can such a constant source of frustration have such a simple answer? Each time I move apartments at the start of the college semester, I have attempted the pie-in-the sky dream of being able to view my 100+ gb of video magically from my pc to my xbox, and each one ending with only 4 episodes of frisky dingo and heartbreak. This year, after many hours spent, a splitter or 2 downloaded, and a couple of trojans for my trouble, i decided the only logical resolution was my fist through its taunting ring of judgement, when suddenly, like some deus ex machina from a horrible movie, i stumble upon john bartels unassuming post, and learned my 3 year battle could be won with 3 letters. You are my webitizen of the year. I am off to go watch venture brothers on a screen larger than my microwave now.

Rename to avi, as John says.

LISTEN TO JOHN BARTELS.

Fricken genius man. This whole time, all you had to do was rename it as a .avi? I feel like a fool.

Re the XBOX 360 no longer playing MP4s after the latest update. The cure is to simply rename the file .avi, and then it works perfectly.
