Was wondering what you would do to resize XMV files. I'll probably need to know what codecs (if any) are needed, and the tools to resize bitrates etc.
Thanks in advance

hey mate
Im sure (postive actually) the XMV codec used on some of the XBOX game movies are just a slightly modded version of the .WMV codec..
Ive read somewhere about it.. Try here for a download..
btw.. if you find it please upload it to our downloads section..
once you have the codec installed all you have to do is reencode and choose your own bitrate.. Just like the BIK (BINK VIDEO SMACKER) video encoder tools which is available also for .bik files..

Hey, I found this nice little tutorial on xbox-scene.

Downsampling *.XMV Movie Files:
Downsampling XMV Movie Files requires XMV Tool (this is availiable on the Microsoft Xbox SDK, and in the "Usual Places")...
XMV Tool is a Command-Line Program (which means you must run it from a Command Prompt). Simply start up a Command-Prompt, and move to the directory in which you have XMV Tool (the EXE file) stored in. Place your XMV Movie File in this folder aswell...
Once there, type the following command:
xmvtool.exe -ic Before.xmv -o After.xmv
(Replace Before.xmv with the filename of the Input XMV Movie File, and replace After.xmv with whatever you want the downsampled file to be named)...
When finished, you will have a downsampled XMV Movie File ready to be placed onto your backup...
Simple Batch File To Downsample XMV Movie Files:
As stated before, XMV Tool is a command-line program, which makes it easy to create a Batch File to easily downsample movies in the future.
If you aren't sure how to make one yourself, feel free to copy the one below (simply copy all the "code" into a Text File, and rename the extension to *.BAT):
-------------------------------------------
@echo off
echo.
echo Creating Compressed XMV Movie File.....
echo.
echo Please Wait...
xmvtool.exe -ic Before.xmv -o After.xmv
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo Completed! After.xmv has been created...
echo.
pause
exit
-------------------------------------------
Just place that Batch File in the folder with XMV Tool, and run the Batch File to change "Before.xmv" to "After.xmv"...
