Hi, I connected my computer (running Windows Vista) to my box through Windows Media Center. The problem is I can't see my videos: I see the sample videos (that come with Windows), but not my videos.

Why is that?

You should still be able to see your other videos but not be able to play them. Thats if your doing it thru WMC because if you search for vids thru your dashboard you wont see other video formats. And to play any video file thru WMC use a program called Transcode 360.

Nop. The transcode 360 doesn't work for me. Anyway, why not to convert the video file to WMV format? The file will lose from it's quality?
