Playing movies in Xbox360 vis USB stick?

Can this be done? And if so how do you do it?
 
If its big, format it with MacDrive and use it as an External HDD
 
ok thankS can you play avi files off a usb stick?
 
I imagine so.

You need to be signed in Live to play XviD's though.
 
ive been doing this since the 360 started supporting divx/avi with no probs at all except thinking on occaisonally the odd codec isn't supported so movie wont play this as been rare though i havent tried wmv-hd from usb stick as i only have a 2gb one but again have had no trouble use a ext-hdd formated with macdrive 7 plenty info about this on here mate. if im right oggy you dont have to be signed whilst watching xvids mate but you have to download the update as a one off if you havent allready done so.

No, the update is a sly one, you get the media codec in the update, so it recognises it - but will not play if not signed into Live.
 
I watch films all the time from my USB stick and i've never had to sign into live yet mate all i had to do was download the codecs first before i could play them.

To play them off of CD-R you need to be though, strange one
 
avi films play from usb stick and from a standard data dvd without live connected.
i don't have mine connected to the internet at all and watch downloaded tv episodes and films nearly every day from the usb drive.
 
Since when do we need to be connected to Live to watch Divx? :err:
 
wasnt there an update last year ?


l have lots of dvix and theres some that dont play and its because not all have been codec the same lm sure ,, this software is meant to help

ive played a few from usb stick no probs...and it upscales to what ever your settings are at.....makes you wander why dvd cant be upscaled over component cables.....

for those that run from cds ...does that upscale aswell.??
 
looks to me like u have to be connected to live for this to work .. lv jusr connected my spare up and its networked fine with my bridge but because u have to log in thats a pain if l want to play on the xbox upstairs ..

can u copy xbox tag to a standard usb ? or do i need another drive or xbox memory stick ?
