Windows Vista Ultimate & Xbox 360 Video Error

Asked by jjbackes in Miscellaneous, Xbox Video Game Console

Tags: 360, xbox, video, vista, error

I recently upgraded my Media Player computer to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition. When I attempt to play MPEG2 video clips through my Xbox 360 I get the following error:

Video Error
Files needed to display video are not installed or not working correctly. Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer.

I restarted the machine, and my Xbox 360 and the problem still persists. Prior to upgrading from MCE 2005 I had no problem playing MPEG2 videos. What the heck is going on here?

I checked out the support videos files here, and MPEG2 is one of them.

I know that the system will play WMV files, but that would mean I would have to convert everything to that particular format.

Any suggestions are welcome..... JeremyStart Free Trial
