I have some MKV anime files that I want to play them on my Xbox 360, but every time I try, my console does not work at all. Then a friend of mine told me to convert them to WMV with a video converter called Pavtube MKV Converter, I tried the trial version, and asked their support team what are the best settings for my Xbox 360, they gave my following suggestions:
Xbox 360 supports the following for WMV:
Video Profiles: WMV7 (WMV1), WMV8 (WMV2), WMV9 (WMV3), VC-1 (WVC1 or WMVA) in simple, main, and advanced up to Level 3
Video Bitrate: 15 Mbps with resolutions of 1920 x 1080 at 30fps.
Audio Profiles: WMA7/8, WMA 9 Pro (stereo and 5.1), WMA lossless
Audio Max Bitrate: No restrictions.
I followed these settings, and the output files actually worked on my console, and the trial version just has Pavtube logo stands in the center of the image. I think it is well worth buying. I would like to share its detailed operating steps here, hope it will be of some help for you guys who are having headaches about this issue.
Following is its intuitive UI, and only within several steps the conversion will be finished flawlessly.
Step 1: Click "Add" button to load MKV files
Step 2: Click the pull down menu of "Format" to select output format for Xbox 360
Step 3: Click "Settings" button to set optimal settings
I just do the settings as their support team suggested:
Size: 1920*1080
Video bit rate: 1500kbs
Frame rate: 30 fps
Others I use the defaults
Step 4: Click "Convert" button to start conversion
This converter not only has fast conversion speed, but also lets audio and videos match very well. I’m satisfied with it.
Step 5: Click "Open" button to get the output WMV files
Once conversion is completed, you can get the converted WMV files for your Xbox 360 via hitting "Open" button with ease.
