[mythtv-users] Problem playing MJPEG video in Mythvideo on Xbox

[Adam Biskobing]

To continue to play them on the XBox you are probably going to have to 
convert them to some other format.  You don't necessarily have to lose 
alot of quality, I would recommend converting them to high quality Xvid 
or Divx files.
