im wondering is there anyway to get my video clip files from my computer to my xbox 360's hardrive ?

before i put the video files onto a memory card before and used a usb cable to play them on the xbox but i couldn't copy them onto the xbox.

is there anyway to do this ?

You cant copy any media files onto the hard drive besides legit music cd's. But you can use usb drives and cd's and dvd's with any form of media that is supported.

You have to stream them from the usb drive cd or dvd.

Or you can stream from your computer using windows media player 11, which is very easy, took me a minute.

TBH unless you media collection is small there would be no point in copying to the hard drive as there is only 13gb or 113gb of usable space.

I just want to confirm what redporshe has said. You can't actually copy video files to the 360s hard drive. Only audio can be stored on its own drive, and even then they have to be ripped from an audio CD through the 360.

Best bet for a video storage method would be an external USB hard disk. Only snag with that would be the 4GB file cap on the FAT32 file system.

HFS+, the format that apple uses for ipods, xbox will recognise it as it can recognise most ipods which are in that format(all except iphone and itouch because apple are being awkward with giving out the tools to ms to get it working on xbox)

Edit: Took out "I think NTFS allows large files. You can format it in windows"

NTFS can't be read by the 360 as far as I'm aware, but I had completely forgotten about HFS+.

hmmm, how do i hook it upto the computer ?, with what lead ?
 
Use TVersity to stream the media to the 360, works treat take about 2 minutes to set up, got all my stuff on my laptop which is on all day and can just watch anything I like.

Had no trouble with it at all.
