Problem with Xbox 360 and External hard drive

Hello. I have been using my Xbox 360 with my Seagate 250GB External HD for about 8 months now with no problems. Now I'm noticing a problem that continues to confuse me.

I have 2 seasons of the show Farscape on my HD and have converted them to a form of .AVI that the Xbox can recognize and play. The only thing is that in the second season, 2 of the episodes do not appear on the TV Screen when I'm in the folder. When I plug the HD into my computer I can see the files just fine. It's only 2 episodes though. All the other ones work and I can watch them all the way through with no problems. It's 2 episodes that don't appear on the Xbox for some reason. I've tried converting the 2 episodes to different forms of .AVI but still can not see the episodes in the episode list.

Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks.

Wookie

If you legally recorded these files onto your DVR........then I would advise getting them into .wmv format if you're playing them on 360.

If they are filthy torrent files, than I insist that this discussion stop right here and now.
