What video clip formats will Xbox 360 play, please?

Hi Ben! What device are you trying to play this video on?

This error code means that the file format is not support by that specific device.

Here is an article with some info on what file formats are supported in what regions:

Play DVDs on your Xbox 360 console

Unfortunately it's not possible to upload it directly back to the console, however you can save it to a USB stick and then view the clip using the Xbox's media browser, (the Xbox can play most audio, video, and pictures in compatible formats from a USB stick).

Please note that the Xbox may ask if you want to format the device; if this happens select "no/decline" as this is an automated process to set devices that are 256gb or larger as mass-storage media for Xbox games.

Please also note that storage devices can only store games OR media content, and not both.

It's also possible to view clips uploaded to OneDrive, YouTube, and Twitch on Xbox One using the relevant apps.

Yes you should be able to play a video from a USB drive connected to your Xbox 360 console. But it also depends on the format of the video (the Xbox has to support that format). I would recommend trying it out and see if it works - the console may prompt
you to download a media update in order to play videos of that format.

Simply plug in the USB drive, press the Guide button, go to Video Player, then Portable Device, then to your video.

Let us know how you go and good luck!

What the problem is here is I think that the format for the videos (typically 3GP, a phone video format) is not supported by your Xbox 360, as it evidently, shows your photos. You might be out of luck here unless there is a way to convert your videos to
AVI/MP4 via your phone or computer.

It depends on the format of your videos. For more information on supported formats, please see

this page under the heading "Supported Formats." Let us know if this solves your issue.
