I think perhaps you don't understand why transcoding is required. > since the xbox is supposed to be able to play avi's! AVI is just a container. What's in it is what matters. An AVI contains audio and video which may be encoded with a codec that the Xbox flat out can't decode. In which case, transcoding is required. > out of interest..which is more processer intensive...transcoding on the fly Neither/both. Pre-transcoding will mean lots of CPU activity in a short period to encode that file. On the fly transcoding will spread the CPU activity over the length of the video, because you will probably only watch it at real-time. i.e. a 1 hour programme takes 1 hour to watch. Pre-transcoding could (depending on spec of machine) be done quicker. Same computational task.
