Hey, i have a .mp4 file which apparently is 720p and i want to convert it or burn it to dvd without loosing the quality. Can some please advise me on how to go about this it would be much appreciated,thanks
I have converted 720 .MKV files to .Mp4 to play through my Xbox 360 and they have worked well so i though that this .mp4 file i have would be able to play straight away but it doesn't,why is that?

Are you making a DVD (IFO, BUP, VOBs) from it or are you just planning on burning it as a data disc onto DVD media? If you're planning on making a real DVD of it for playing on a standalone DVD player, you'll lose quite a bit of quality. And that's in addition to the quality already lost when this thing was made.

The first thing to jump out is the resolution, which is a half-arsed set of numbers if ever I saw them. Normally this would have been resized to 1280 x nnn (effectively a bastardised 720p), but this is neither 1080 nor 720 based. I would try resizing to 1280 x nnn and re-encoding (unavoidable), then outputting to mp4 directly. Xvid4psp can do this.

bizarre specs like guns said. i'd have to look at it but it most likely was 1440 non-square pixel HDV or something that was incorrectly encoded 1440 square pixel. good luck with that. maybe recode to 1920 first and then try going to widescreen mpeg-2. next time don't download crud before reading and understanding the nfo.

Looking at that file info, two things immediately get my attention: the 6 channel AAC audio and the fact that the video has 7 reference frames.
The resolution shouldn't matter, since the 360 should play it at the right ratio as long as it's set correctly, the 7 reference frames could mean that the picture might be messed up a little at playback, the recommended amount of RFs for the 360 is 3.
The 6 channel AAC audio needs changing as the 360 will not even attempt to play MP4 files unless they have 2 channel AAC audio, you could try down mixing to Dolby Surround, I'm sure there's something out there which will do that without recoding the video. Xvid4PSP maybe...
