HDMI with Xbox 360

I just got an xbox 360 and i hooked it up to my imac with my eyetv hybrid. Can use the HDMI cables to make it High Def? What can i use to make it so it will hook up to the cables.
thanks

If your receiver supports HDMI inputs and passthrough then go there first from the xbox, and send the passthrough to the TV. If you can't do that then try digital audio out of the xbox to the receiver and HDMI to the TV for just video.
I read something in another thread about some Toshiba TV outputting only PCM stereo as passthrough from a HDMI input so I bet that's what is happening here.

Connecting with Xbox 360

is there a reason iPhones won't connect with Xbox 360's like iPods did?

Because even though it plays mp3 and has ipod capabilites...it's a phone! Were you able to connect your previous cell phone to your Xbox?

Hey kole71,
That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

Full-quality export settings for use with Xbox 360

Greetings, all.
I use Rivet to stream video from my Mac to my Xbox 360. Recently I purchased a Sony HDR-HC5 HDV camera, and I want to see that video on my TV at full quality. I don't have an HDMI cable or a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so my only option is to stream this video to the 360 via Rivet.
To accomplish this, I have been trying to export my video at full quality from iMovie HD 6, but one of a couple things happens: 1- the resolution is intolerably low (I want 1080i), 2- the 360 complains about an unsupported format. I've tried exporting in QT format with expert settings, but no matter what I try, I have been unable to find a combination that produces 1080i that can be viewed on the 360.
Surely somebody else on here has gone through this exercise and has figured out what works. If you have any info on this, please share! I searched through the archives and didn't find anything useful. I've also searched on Google and the answer is still elusive.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but the Xbox will in fact view MPEG-4, which iMovie can export. The only problem I'm having is with the quality of the output. The quality is in the movie that is exported, not in the Xbox's viewing of the movie - the movie looks just as bad on my Mac mini as it does thru my Xbox...
With experimentation, I think I'm getting closer to my goal...

Sharing Internet with xbox 360

Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

Replacing Apple TV with Xbox 360, Video Questions

I have had an ATV for a little over a year and thanks to Handbrake I now have an incredible Movie Library over 600 flicks ripped for ATV with the .m4v extension. This month I am getting an Xbox 360 and would like to use it in place of my ATV and move the ATV to another room. I have been doing my research and everything says I should use Connect 360 or Rivet to make contact between my iMac and Xbox 360. Though I have read that movies with the extension .m4v will not read. I have read on various sites that I could just change the extension to .mp4 or .avi and it will work fine. Though alot of the data out there on connect 360 and Xbox 360 streaming seems to be outdated and I can't tell what has been fixed by updates. so... my questions are,
1. Will my movies stream to xbox 360 via connect 360 in the .m4v format?
2.If no, can I just change the extension to .mp4 or .AVI? (I changed the extension from .MP4 to .m4v on some movies when I got the ATV due to some recognition issues in itunes last year and had no problem)
3. If I change the extensions will my ATV still be able to play these videos from elsewhere in the house?
4. Will it all just work flawlessly with no problems thanks to amazing updates from all parties?

I wanted a next gen game system. Part of the way I could convince my wife to let me get an xbox (Im whipped) was to offer to move the ATV to the bedroom so she could view our media in there. Since the Xbox has media center qualities I figured I would take atvantage of them. Now I trying to figure out the best way to get both working.

afaik, 'dead horse' HDDVD is supported out-of-the-box..
indeed, for BR media, you need the BR-plug-in..

IPod update causes iPods to be incompatible with Xbox 360's

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1033587&tstart=0
(I felt that this topic belonged more in the compatibility forums.)
Since the iTunes 7.3 iPod software update, the iPods updated are now incompatible with 360's.
They now show up in the 360 system menu as "Audiobooks", and are unable to play from the predesigned playlists.
This is fixed by reverting to iTunes 7.2 or earlier.
However, one should be able to use the current iTunes version 7.5, and one's iPod with the Xbox 360, who many iPod users use as their entire media hub for their home theater systems.

Look in the packaging and pieces of paper that came with the Xbox 360. Mine came with a piece of paper advertising the ability to connect and listen to your iPod, and at the bottom it had a disclaimer saying that it doesn't work with the iPhone or iPod touch.

Time Capsule with Xbox 360 Live

Hi,
I just bought a Time Capsule and it works perfectly except that my NAT type on Xbox Live is now set to strict instead of open. It takes forever to join a online game so it's really annoying me.
This is my setup:
---> Modem ---> Wire from Modem to Time Capsule (in WAN port) ---> 1 wire from TC to PC and 1 wire from TC to Xbox 360
My PC is running on Windows 7 and I'm using AirPort 5.5.3.
I've tried pretty much all the tutorials I could find online, but unfortunately none of them seem to work. I've set connection sharing to 'share one public IP-address', enables NAT port mapping protocol, added the Xbox Live ports in the Port Mapping Assistant, and my Xbox is using the IP which I set in the mapping assistant.
Has anybody got an idea what I should change to get my NAT type to open? Thank you in advance.

Does your ISP allow pppoe connections?
If so you can setup the 546 in bridge mode.. just use the internal setup wizard, choose bridge, and finish the wizard. Then in TC choose internet tab and for connection type use pppoe and put in your ISP username and password.
This is perhaps the best method. But it depends on the ISP using pppoe which is common in some places and rare in others. For instance in Australia where I am, all our ISP provide pppoe, and most do pppoa as well. In UK and many places in Europe, they use pppoa, which cannot be bridged to a router. So you must bridge somewhere else or use a different technique of handling the problem.
The problem with the 546 in router mode, is that it uses cone nat. This starts to get complicated but some games depend on port forwarding of UDP protocol packets. You can indeed setup port forwarding or upnp in the speedtouch to handle this, but it still fails. There are special commands required to allow port forwarding through NAT.
See this thread.

Although it relates to a different model on a PS3 the basic issue is identical across all the thomson modem products.. and I am very pleased to finally be able to offer a solution. I worked hard with people who actually owned the box to track down the problem and find a solution.

Wireless slow with Xbox 360 Madcatz adapter

I have just had Infinity installed yesterday and all is fine with my laptop and speeds, however, my sons Xbox 360 is connected via a Madcatz wireless adapter and he is experiecing lag since the conversion.
I connected the router as soon as it arrived through the post and the connection was ok then, but since the engineer converted the line to Infinity, it has now gone slow.
Anyone got any suggestions?

I had the same problem the other day. Xbox360 will not pass the security for WPA....I called the Linksys help desk and the guy was great...I had to change my settings for the router to be WEP with a passcode and then the Xbox360 wireless adapter would work.....When you set-up the router I'm sure you were like me and put the hightest security, which does not allow xbox360 wireless to pass through...Change to WEP with a passcode....Then it worked like a charm...
