360 video codecs?

[AHarvey]

Hi all,

I am thinking of ripping my DVD collection on to a USB harddrive so that I can watch them all through my 360 and don't have to bother changing DVDs.

Anyone know what codecs the 360 supports? I would like to compress them slightly as well to save space and I have a lot of DVDs.

I am totally new to this so I really haven't got a clue.

EDIT: Oh, I have an elite and I am not on Live so don't really download demos or vids/films. Is there anyway I can copy my ripped DVDs onto its hardrive?

Should have said, I have the Divx one already, conencted it to live and downloaded it, however the 360 isn't always connected.

So it would just be a case of ripping them and compressing them with DivX to a decent size/quality ratio?

Also, anyone know if its possible to get them onto the 360 HDD?

shame to have a spare 105gb free on the 360 hdd and not being able to use it

Anyway, thanks everyone. All I have to do now is figure out how to rip the DVDs and compress them It will either work first time or you won't see me posting again due to the fact I have put my keyboard through my monitor
