XenonMKV is a Windows frontend utility, similar to GOTsent and Videora Xbox Converter. It repackages high-definition H.264/x264 video and 5.1 audio contained in MKV files to an MP4 format that the Xbox 360 can play.
Good because the actual video data is left untouched. Unfortunately the Xbox360 doesn't digest 5.1 audio other than WMA, nor does it accept files larger than 4 GiB other than WMV. Though this both are not shortcomings of the XenonMKV, but of Microsoft's design of the Xbox hardware/firmware/software.
a bit slow on an older machine I have tasked to hosting files and converting, but works great otherwise!
great
[2009-03-30: REVISION 36 - "Tweaktown"] [FIXED] mp4box framerate issues. Mentioned in this thread: http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,164.15.html [UPDATED] mp4box now uses a February 2009 development build by default, 0.4.6-dev.
[2008-11-23: REVISION 35 - "New MKV Experience"] [FIXED] Scratch folder location now more restrictive and resilient. If any problems come up, XenonMKV now takes the safe route. http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,189.0.html http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,173.0.html and similar threads [ADDED] Option to output file names in all uppercase for LaCie drives: http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,50.msg1119.html#msg1119 [ADDED] Options button now more prominent in main window: http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,50.msg1024.html#msg1024 [ADDED] Remember window size and position when exiting application: http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,179.0.html Limitation: Position saving may not work as expected on leftmost or topmost monitors from primary in multi-monitor setups. When set to a negative top or left position in pixels, the window will snap back to default settings. No workaround possible at this time. Requires further testing. [ADDED] Detection of file compatibility/reference frames before video is split. Limitation: if the file has multiple video tracks of different sizes, this may falsely flag a video. The initial detection takes the first track that contains a width/height parameter in the original MKV. Workaround: Disable reference frame/Xbox 360 compatibility check. http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,181.0.html [FIXED] Custom split timeline and text box now synchronized. http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,178.0.html [ADDED] Better error logging if the tool requested for a launch does not exist. [ADDED] Command line support for scripting. Parameters are: XenonMKV.exe -inputfile X:\path\to\input.mkv -outputfolder X:\output\ XenonMKV.exe -inputfolder X:\path\mkvs\ -outputfolder X:\output\ Limitation: Support for this hasn't been tested too heavily. Console output isn't quite there yet. It will probably brick itself if you try anything too fancy or use these commands out of order. [OUTSTANDING ISSUES] http://xenonmkv.ev98.net/forum/index.php/topic,158.0.html Track ordering: track 2 video, track 1 audio needs further investigation
