The Xbox Video preset creates H.264 MP4 files optimized for Microsoft's Xbox console family (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S). RMVB is completely unsupported on Xbox — the console's Media Player app has no RealVideo decoder. This conversion transforms RealMedia content into Xbox-optimized files with correct codec profiles, resolution limits, and container metadata for seamless big-screen viewing through the Xbox media player.

Xbox consoles have zero RMVB support — attempting to play an RMVB file through the Media Player app simply shows an 'unsupported format' error. The Xbox Video preset produces H.264 High Profile MP4 files tuned for Xbox's hardware decoder, enabling smooth playback on the living room TV through the console.

FFmpeg decodes RealVideo 8/9/10 and RealAudio, then encodes to H.264 High Profile Level 4.1 (Xbox 360 compatible) or Level 5.1 (Xbox One/Series). Resolution supports up to 1080p (or 4K on Xbox One S/X and Series). Audio uses AAC-LC at 192 kbps stereo or AC-3 5.1 for surround. The MP4 container uses faststart for USB playback.

Yes — the default preset targets Xbox 360 compatibility (Level 4.1, 1080p). Xbox One and Series consoles support all 360-compatible formats plus higher resolutions.

Yes — Xbox One X and Series X support 4K H.264 playback. However, RMVB sources are typically 480p-720p, so 4K output would just be upscaling.

USB drive (NTFS format recommended), DLNA streaming from a PC, or OneDrive. USB is the simplest method — just copy the MP4 and plug in.

H.264 encoding quality will be excellent, but the source resolution is the limiting factor. A 720p RMVB converted to H.264 looks good at normal viewing distance on a 55-inch TV, but won't match native 1080p content.

Yes — Xbox supports AC-3 (Dolby Digital) 5.1 in MP4. RMVB files rarely have surround audio, but if they do, it can be converted to AC-3.

Both apps support H.264 MP4. The Media Player app is dedicated to USB/DLNA playback, while Films & TV handles local files and Microsoft Store content.
