dont think so. xbox 360 can only use a few codecs (last update did gave some new codes like divx). and you would still need a windows pc for the sharing anyway. |

yeah, i currently have my xbox networked, and i'm streaming the (350mb) files as it is. i was just wondering if i took the time to download one of these 720p files, if it would play. i guess maybe the only way to know for sure is to download one and try it. |

yes and no. you can't play these files on the 360 without converting them to an mp4 file first. fortunately you can do this without re-encoding the file, so it takes about 15 minutes or so to convert, rather than hours for re-encoding. you'll need gotsent (http://sentry23.googlepages.com/) , which converts the mkv file to an mp4, which plays back on the 360 and the ps3. you'll lose surround sound as the 360 can only do 2-channel mp4s (stereo), but i did it with the second episode of the terminator here and it worked fine. i've also converted and episode of 720p firefly and it worked fine too. |

you can play the hr hdtv (540p) files just fine on the original xbox. the original xbox can also play 720p just fine, but the catch is it can't handle the very cpu dependant x264/h264 codec which is what pretty much every 720p release uses. you'd have to convert it to dvix/xvid or some other format as the xbox just can't handle x264. it will play x264 content but it'll lag a lot, it's not worth doing. |
