    HELLO!
    I am having a small problem, when I try to watch movies on my XBMC it freezes up, I can only get some WMV's to work.
    The AVI's and MPG's freeze the system and I have to restart.
    Any Idea why this is happening?
    Also I know we are not supposed to ask for stuff on the forum but I cannot find a program called WMV2XMV does anyone know where I can find this Please?
    Thnx
    PLowran

    To be honest it sounds like an incompatability problem. I usually convert all my stuff to VOB then use DVDlab pro to make an actual DVD of the movie or anything. The only problem I encounter is that periodically it get selective about what it will play. Remember, the dvd playback is still experimental and very buggy no matter what version you have. Even the playback dongle is selective.

    Just got to Xboxmediacenter.com and look for updates and fresh installs. They also have every file you need to get it to work like a gem.
