PC-2-360 Video Transfer via USB

I have quite a few series of TV show on my PC. Wondering if I can transfer episodes via a USB to store and view on the 360's HD and will file format matter?

They are Xvid files.

Ta.

Can't be done, unfortunately - you can stream videos to the Xbox, or play them from an attached USB drive / memory stick. To date there is no way to save them from these devices to the 360's Hard Drive.

Any other solutions?

What about that media centre carryon?

TVersity is quite good, easy to set up and plays everything. Problems with subs and language tracks though.

Make sure you set it up right though, I dont know what I did but the server part of it was running on startup without the front end, I had it unprotected so some internet **** were leeching movies off my computer and using all my bandwith.

Only realised it when I checked network utilization in my firewall and saw the process, stopped it in msconfig and everything is fine now.

Where was I?

Oh yeah, TVersity, great app

I'd agree on the TVersity thing, it's great for streaming videos / music from PC to the 360 (or any other device, really).

The big advantage is that if you have a media file type that isn't supported on the XBox, and your PC has enough welly, TVersity will automatically transcode (convert) them as you stream it, so the XBox will recognize the file and play it.

Since the last Update, most DivX/XviD files stream directly to the XBox.

I use an external hard drive, formatted to fat32, hooked up to my xbox via usb. Xbox plays divx and xvid no probs. Just plug it into my computer when i want to put any new videos on it.
