Convert DVD to Xbox
Hi, I have my own DVD's of birthdays etc, which were all made on Pinnacle - so are in VOB format. I would like to make these work on the xbox - via the NAS (Duo V2). I have tried several ways, ...

I would probably say more "misunderstood". Like the information you have read, streaming is documented as "supported", or devices are claimed to be "compatible". In reality there are a lot of different ways to encode media and each software provider has it's own preferred method/options that is/are supported. Commercial companies like Microsoft, Sony, Apple etc tend to restrict the formats they support - to get better support you need to look at open source solutions, but those of course you cannot run on your Xbox as Microsoft don't allow you.
The xbox is something we've had for a few years, and it was mentioned on the Netgear site as being compliant with the NAS.
Absolutely, it is compliant with your NAS - but which media can be accessed is a limitation of the Xbox wrt the formats supported. If the Xbox can play it, the NAS can stream it.
what would be better than the xbox ???
I will defer that to others - I run an exclusively Mac & Linux setup so my advice probably wouldn't help
So basically, I can make the films AVI, but they need to match exactly to the link you just sent me ??
If you want to use your xbox as the client - then yes.
