Xbox isnt meant to read regular video formats that computers use. i can imagine microsoft uses a dedicated video format for the xbox. the CPU isnt going to know how to process the video file because it has no idea what the file does. it would be like trying to read the newspaper if it were written in mandarin chinese. you know its a "file" but dont have the capability to do anything with it

What does status code: 3f4a 3f4a 1601 0300 c800 0036 mean?

Error C800-0036 occurs when downloading an update to your Xbox 360 console. This may mean that there's a lock on your Xbox Live account. If your Xbox 360 console has been tampered with or modified, it can no longer connect to Xbox Live, install software updates or play new games that require a console software update.

According to the Xbox website, it means the format of the video is NOT supported. You will need to convert the video format into a type accepted by the Xbox.

This means that the file format you are trying to play is not supported or cannot be played by your console due to format restrictions. It means that the video has an invalid format not recognized by the console that is why it is not playing thus showing this error code.

System error 1 light code E 68

error 68 means that the xbox has insufficient power to operate. make sure it is directly plugged into the wall. try removing accessories on your xbox like intercoolers and USB devices.
