I'll have to give that a try the next time I have an mkv
 A pesky one always seems to turn up when I can't find any other source.

Well I'm about to convert another mkv download. Everything has been great so far. I converted DH4 yesterday and that was perfect

Yup, my conversion worked well - I just left it running overnight with the checkbox for shutting down the pc ticked, I renamed the .mp4 to an .avi to ensure that the 360 would read it (didn't even check with it as an .mp4). The resultant file was about half the size of the original: 8Gb source, 4Gb avi.

Well I tried to watch a video last night and it seems the file isn't visible through the media blade
 A little digging and all is not well. It appears the 360 won't play mpeg2 files from the dashboard it will only play them through the extender! If you don't have MCE then don't use this software. Seems the 4 files I've converted won't play on the 360 so I'll just have to play them on the iBook.

To be honest, I just find it easier plugging the laptop straight into the TV and skipping the 360 altogether.

We only have an old AMD Athalon system which isn't very fast so streaming isn't really an option. I'll just plug the iBook in
it's quieter than the 360 anyway

This is why I built a little htpc, plays anyone I throw at it now and means I can download the 720p files and watch them BIG
