Easy way to downscale movies to play on XBMC4XBOX
Posted: Thu Sep 28, 2017 6:39 am
Hello,
I'm having a heck of a time getting most movies to play on my Xbox, and I'm wondering if there's an easy way to downscale video files before transferring them to the Xbox so that they won't freeze the 'Box. I tried following the guide written by The Pitt (I believe) about using StaxRip, and I've had zero success with using it. Not only do videos I convert to Xvid freeze after 2 seconds when I try to play them on the Xbox, but just using the program to downscale .mkv to 560p or 480p resolution results in the Xbox being unable to display their subtitles for some reason.
As more and more videos are going to 1080p resolution, I'm finding it hard to find videos that my 'Box can play, and it's becoming increasingly frustrating.
Any help would be greatly appreciated on this, as I've been running my head into a wall for the last week or so.
Thanks,
Jobobn
