I just recently started messing about with W7 and discovered that in Microsoft's typical reverse logic it implemented fast transcoding in W7 and hence video streamed to the x280n in extender mode is transcoded and transcoded quite poorly with no apparent way to turn it off or adjust it. What I am hoping to be able to do is transcode (I abhore transcoding) using 360 and that will leap frog the Microsoft transcoder.

I was/am having trouble getting "converter" convert home movies I had on DVD so I thought maybe my "converted" folder was too full or something so I moved my DVD files that I still wanted converted to a folder "to be converted" set the machine to only convert things in that folder then I emptied out my "converted" folder putting the small/low resolution files in a folder "for my iPod" and putting the high resolution MP4's in the "Video" folder along with an old MPG file from my TV tuner. When I go to the PS3 and look at video's only the MPG file shows up and non of the MP4's. What gives? The PS3 saw the MP4's when they were in the "converted" folder! On top of this I still can't get my converter to work anymore. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Most of my TV shows are in a DIVX/XVID flavor. I use Media Browser in Windows 7 Media Center. Here is my problem. The movies will not have surround sound unless I have Transcode360 turned on. If I have Transcode360 turned on, then my TV shows will end early and never play all the way through on the first try (although play fine the 2nd time). With Transcode360 off, not only do the movies not have 5.1, but at some point a ffdshow popup will come on the screen and go away after about 5 seconds. Then the movie will stop. Any suggestions for these errors? I also use my XBOX360 as an extender and everything plays fine Transcode360 on or off. The only problem I have with using the XBOX is that it is painfully slow. So can someone either help me with the x280n or fix the speed on my XBOX?

I Ihave saved my dvd movies on my external hard drive in seperate folders. I have used my movies to find the cover art. Now how do I link my movies with WMC and HP Media Smart Connect. When I click on the the movie it asks me to insert the movie into a drive. How do I get it to point to the location on my hard drive where I have saved the ripped movies. Please do not skip any steps as I am a layman.

To me it looks like its not just "plug'n play". I can see the phumbnails, but the movie will not start. I guess that I'm not the first person who is having problems with this, and hopeing that can point me in the right direction for some hint and tips.

I can either be watching a TV show or a full movie, but it seems to vary between 1 minute and 1min30sec. Any suggestions on how to fix the time index? The videos still play fine, but I can't fast forward or rewind since the time is off. I tried searching for an answer and couldn't find one. This the codecs I noticed this happening on is x264 and XVID/DIVX.
