How to Play MP4 Files on Your Xbox 360

I recently purchased a GoPro HD2 and what a fine piece of equipment it is too! The GoPro records the video in MP4 format and by default the Xbox 360 won't play this format (even though it claims it does).

Anyway...
After numerous fails to convert the files to AVI (a format that is supported), it turns out all you need to do is change the file extension from MP4 to AVI. Hey presto, it shows up on the Xbox now!

      Sorry to hear it :( This works perfectly for me. Feel free to send me the file to see if it works for me...

    Though MP4 is claimed to be supported by Xbox 360, sometimes we still run in to difficulties to play MP4 on Xbox 360.

    You may try to change the extension name from .mp4 to .wmv but I cannot ensure this action can solve the MP4 playback problem.

    If you are still in trouble, you can convert your MP4 files to WMV or MP4.

      Hi Ella. Hopefully people will find your tool converts their files. I don't remember if I tried using this particular one, but certainly many others did not convert successfully.

      Good luck to those who try it :)
