OK, so I’ve finally worked out the details in getting movies on my PC upstairs to play on my 360 downstairs hooked together via wireless.
I’m using this guide here: MeGUI for the 360.
while I could use Windows Media Player 11 to share the media, I also found that TVersity does pretty well, after setting it for using on the 360 (Page 7 of the guide).
It’s NOT automatic. I create a d2v file for the VOBs, then a avs file. Then it’s pretty automatic. I’m using an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ with 1GB on DDR400 RAM and a 2.5 hr movies takes about 8 hrs to encode.
I tested with a dream works movie (about bees) and no jaggies, no skips and it looked crisp on my HDTV. Exactly what I was looking for!
