How do I play h264 transport stream (.ts) with AC3 audio on an Xbox 360?

[bubbrubb]

When streaming the file to my Xbox I actually could hear and see the video fine, but it was extremely choppy. This particular video is 1080i. What format can I convert it to (WITHOUT quality loss) and play smoothly on the Xbox 360??


Thanks

open vlc and use that to remux the video to mp4 this will not convert the video

Better yet use ps3mediaserver or tversity to stream. They will transcode it.

Also are you streaming it wirelessly or wired? If you are wireless you could be experiencing buffering issues. If you have a non slim xbox 360 you can get a wireless n adapter now if you have a wireless n router. That should improve your performance. However for maximum consistency you should look into streaming wired over your lan.

How is transcoding the video "better" than using the original streams?

First and foremost check your nework, if you are using B/G wireless then that is likely to be the cause of the problem.

Better may be the wrong term to use in this instance.

Quicker and more efficient would certainly apply.
