Encode360 lets you encode videos for the XBox 360

Encode360 is an application which will convert virtually any video format to high quality WMV’s which can be played by the X-Box 360 or the Microsoft Zune player.

Features:

• Uses Windows Media Encoder as a base, so it’ll create 100% Microsoft compliant WMV’s
• Automatic re-scaling of video sizes to match your TV resolution or Zune screen. This prevents nasty stretching and artifacts
• Encode as WMV8, WMV9 or ultra high quality WVC1
• Encode with CBR (1 or 2 pass), Quality based VBR, Peak based VBR, or Bitrate based VBR
• Predefined bitrate options to best match your output device and network connection
• Folder monitoring mode – great for automatically encoding your freshly downloaded torrents
• Postview, so you can quickly see the quality of your encode, or if subtitles are being encoded correctly
• Support for Pre-Processing Scriptlets allowing the community to easily add functionality to Encode360

FROM THE SITE:
Installation Prerequisites:

- You need to have .NET Framework 2.0 installed. Get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

- You need to have Windows Media Player 11 installed. Get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/download/default.aspx

- And most importantly, you need Windows Media Encoder 9, from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/forpros/encoder/default.mspx

- I recommend you uninstall ALL codecs, then install K-Lite Full Codec Pack from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/K_Lite_Codec_Pack_download.htm

- During the K-Lite install, pick CoreAAC for AAC decoding. Otherwise you’ll probably have problems decoding files with AAC audio streams. I also untick Windows Media Player Classic as I don’t use this, but that’s up to you

- Download Encode360 from here: http://www.dcunningham.net/Download/Encode360_2.0b4.Zip

- Extract Encode360 to a folder of your choice

- Download the latest FFMpeg from here: http://esby.free.fr/CelticDruid/mirror/ffmpeg

- Copy FFMpeg.Exe from the 7zip archive to the Encode360 folder
