Nothing like your amazings mods: behold my humble xbox http://i1153.photobucket.com/albums/p506/liznevada/xbox_1_bydemonlady.jpg my exboyfriend practically bashed out the case (dunno how but the thing was terribly scratched and stuff) so i had to do something. yeah, yeah drive faceplate is missing (...

that would be any "infile". it can be any format ffmpeg can handle. most common would be to transcode a h264 1080p/720p video in matroska container. just need ffmpeg installed. on windows/linux etc oh my god... what kind of witchcraft is this? smooth playback and smaller size on disk? sur...

so, can i replace "some_1080p_h264_video.mkv" with another extension?
and what i need to have installed, aside of ffmpeg ?

update:
windows cli is not as fun as linux shell, in fact is a pain.
i gonna try on linux.

No, i mean, video on true 1280x720 look SOOO much better than any other res scaled to 720p on my plasma HDTV.
i have a 500GB SATA drive so no space issues anymore, and MPEG2 playback is so smooth, no hiccups, no freezes, no nothing.

and Dan, i was talking about size on disk no image size.

Funny thing is i get better results with MPEG2 than Xvid (kinda similar size too)

Im currently using the old Project Mayhem III (for nostalgia ) not sure if the HD version of PM3 can be used.

about the encoding, well im going to try XVID with VirtualDub

Thanks for answering so fast.

but what do you mean with true 720p (i mean video in 1280x720, which is the native resolution of my plasma TV) is posible to play in that res. (i dont care about file size)
