Problems Streaming Video to Xbox 360

cutiger · July 27th, 2009

Recently I have been using my xbox 360 to watch downloaded shows on my tv. The majority of the shows work. However, sometimes the xbox will only play the first 15 or so minutes of the show. Its like it thinks the video is only 15 minutes long. However, in the screen where you select the video you want to play, it recogninzes that the video is 62 minutes long. The files that works and the files that dont work are both .avi so there shouldnt be any problem there. Any ideas guys?

downloaded through the xbox or off your computer?

It could be just a broken DL or possibley a codec problem, even though all files are .avi they may have different encoding, however when that is the case the movie shouldn't work at all. So I am thinking broken DL.
