transferring movies to xbox

[sameer0807]

Hi,
do i have to change the movie format or something before i ftp the movie on to my xbox hard drive from computer or something?

If yes than what format and what software can i use?

If no than what will be the fastest way to transfer a downloaded movie from computer to xbox hard drive?

cheers

No u don't have to change the format. The fastest way is to connect ur PC to ur modded Xbox thru a crossover cable and you will need an FTP program such as Flash FXP to FTP it over.

xbox-scene.com is your friend, you'll need to put a program on there to watch dvd's with, I use dongle free dvd player, it works fine, but I prefer to burn my dvds.

I dunno, I hate xbmc, its too advanced, it crashes all the time nothing worked write, its a fancy gui, with no code to back it up.

Hi,
Divx movies are played using the XBOX media center.
Regarding your DVD image, try the complex tools (under applications) within the main any hacked dashboard you are using.

Ive never had a problem with it crashing on me

And yes, it can play dvd video files.

XBMC is superb. Just open the thing, go to My Videos, open up the network share, bam, nearly any video file that is in a shared network folder on your PC can be watched through the Xbox on the tv.
XBMC will not play DVDs correctly if I remember right, DVD player programs are easy to come by though.
