Well I use ffmpeg and mencoder all the time, but I don't have any idea how to encode to wmv. it's a proprietary windows media player format that most of us would rather avoid. also your thread title is rather vague this isn't really xbox related at all; it's more of a ffmpeg or video related problem and replying to your own post makes it look like someone else is allready helping you and it won't show up when someone searches for threads with 0 replies. you also don't say what xbox you have or what software it's running. personaly I haven't been buying microsoft products since well before they got in to the video game industry so I am at a compleate loss as to how to help you.

well ok then .
i have an Xbox 360 , usually used to play games same as the PS3 , now u can use it to play DVD-HD and other media ..
one of the posiable ways to watch movies is building a Media centre to stream movies and videos over the Network ,
now iam using Ushare which really good and is linux based.
.....
my problem is that the Xbox only plays WMV movies for now . so i have to Downlaods movies and convert them into WMV and then put them in my Media Center .
since u work good with ffmpeg which i use as well . " i was looking for a ffmpeg command that would convert all my AVI to WMV and not lose much Quality .... thats about it .. ???
personaly I keep all my media on my gentoo media server. It connects directly to my tv, uses my iPod touch as a remote, can add movies to my ipod over wifi or stream them live to my iPod with an apache server. so I can watch all my movies from any tv in the house or on my iPod at any time. I think it is very gay that microsoft forces you to use their non industry standard format if you want to use the xbox for video.
