My 360 did the exact same thing. Codecs support are by Microsoft are .wmv and that's about it. Mezzmo will have to transcode everything to stream to XBOX360. If your worried about hard drive space then lower the amount of storage you allow mezzmo to use. If you have a decent computer then I wouldn't worry about the minute or so it takes to transcode a video in order to watch it.

I use my 360 as my main device now and it can be temperamental over files

for my older files I couple of things which have helped me to get them to play

If it's an MP4 file, rename it to M4V and vice versa (doesn't work on all but this fixed a few for me)
also
Go into properties of the file in Mezzmo and look at the video tab, under the preferred audio option if it shows two items, select the second one, the 360 will now see the file as incompatible and will play it instead of giving an error (transcodes it)
