HD-DVD Stutterfree Playback over 360?

[d9rook]

I've been to no fewer than 7 other forums and finally was told to ask here since no one else could answer. I have a small <50 collection of HD-DVD that I would like to rip to my HTPC for playback over the 360 as an extender. I'm very new when it comes to encoding/decoding but am learning as I go.

From what I understand I need to get it to a wmv format as it's the only one that can support 15mbs bit stream rate.

I'd like ability to FF/RW and at least 720quality if possible. Please ask me any other questions as I am sure I left something else out. I would be using a 360 HD DVD drive to rip the dvds. Thank you.

Hi!
From what I understand I need to get it to a wmv format as it's the only one that can support 15mbs bit stream rate.If that limitation might prove to not be the case, simply use MakeMKV (with NO other software required or running), with just one click, to both rip the HD-DVD and create an .MKV file of the movie-only from it...

I ripped with MakeMKV and while it worked flawlessly for the rip. I was left with two problems.

1)Extreme stuttering during playback over the 360.
2)No FF/RW

Here is the info for the last one I ripped:

Ok I need to take an E-AC3 file or random bit rates to a AC3 448kbps bit rate of random bit rates or not. I tried using clown BD but to no avail.

Here is the error log it spit out.

Picked up another 360 HD Player for ripping, can someone please come up with a guide to make this possible?
