files not playing

[GameJunkie]

i set up the media center extender through my xbox 360, no troubles there, it can play some of the videos there as well(wmv).

i've got a whole bunch of mp4 videos, when i try to play them, it says "file not recognized". cant media center play mp4??

In what? Windows 7? It should since it plays them natively. If you highlight / play one in a folder does it work?

The xbox is connected to the pc running vista HP.

I haven't played them on the pc in media center, I'll try that tomorrow

The videos play fine in mpc-hc on the vista pc.

I'm trying to view them through the xbox media centre on the tv.

Xbox is connected via ethernet to the vista pc.

Yup I dont think MC in Vista plays MP4, but Windows 7 MC does. Its just as bad as Vista, MC, it doesnt detect all or any new tuners, but Win7 MC does
