After updating the Xbox 360 to actually play any video streamed from other PCs, I have been trying various ways to transcode the video to the WMV format the Xbox can play.

The best so far is to use VLC to convert it. This webpage describes some speed tests and lists a BAT script for doing the conversion:

Here is the script (vlcwmv-v2.bat):

"c:\vlc\vlc" -vvv %1 --sout-ffmpeg-qscale 1  :sout=#transcode{vcodec=WMV2,scale=1,acodec=wma,ab=96,channels=2}:duplicate{dst=std{access=file,mux=asf,dst=%1.wmv}}

Information about optimized versions of the BAT files is here:
