FYI: mkv to mp4 for XBox 360 System Video Player Script
Posted: February 23rd, 2013, 5:20 pm
Hi Everyone. Just been customising this to convert files using ffmpeg. The output works with full surround sound on my XBox 360 connected via optical to my Sounds System/DVD Player.
thought I'd share and hope it helps someone. I did copy another script on here for 'base', no point in re-inventing the wheel from scratch!
