YouTube must be the most popular video sharing site where you can find videos in all sorts, such as fanny videos, music videos, movie trailers, educational video tutorials and more. And on your computer, it’s quite easy to access to YouTube via your browser, but for devices, you may face various problems, and the most frequent-happened one is the playback problem. Due to the format capability, some devices don’t support the video from YouTube, fortunately Xbox 360 excluded. Microsoft has added a built-in YouTube app on Xbox game console for you to play YouTube video on the device directly. Well this doesn't mean you can play your downloaded YouTube video on the Xbox 360 console without any problem. Actually, it all depends on your downloaded YouTube video format.
YouTube video files can be FLV, WMV, MP4, AVI and more, while Xbox only supports AVI, MP4, M4V, MOV and WMV. Your files are in the correct format? There is one more thing you need to pay attention to: the video codec. Xbox requires the compatible videos being encoded with H.264, MPEG-4 or WMV, while some of YouTube videos may be encoded with other video codecs.
