Watching HD Rips on Xbox 360

Ok so what HD rips can I watch on the Xbox 360? Divx/Xvid HD rips??

Also do I have to burn them to DVD or is there a way to put the on the hard drive?

Please provide all advice. Thanks

the 360 will play xvid and divx and such...

you can watch them off a USB key...

I was under the impression that its impossible to watch divx/xvid on xbox360... you need a special program on your media center desktop to convert those formats on the fly and stream them to the xbox360.

no.

you can transfer your videos to a usb key and watch from there.

or

you can install a sreaming program like Tversity on your pc and have your videos stream on the fly directly to your 360. you need at least a core 2 duo or there is sometimes audio lag.

both options are very convenient for watching all your downloaded movies on your tv lounging on your sofa instead of having to sit cramped over on your desk. no need to convert to some lame ass .mp4 format to play on your psp or ipod

Since the xbox now natively supports divx/xvid since fall 2007, there is no need for a super powerful pc to transcode on the fly anymore, as was the case 2 years ago. All you need is any old PC, Tversity, media in your Tversity Library and a network. TVersity acts as a media server much like Media Center does, except its better, haha.

Its a DVD Screener...

Yes, it will be great quality.

DVD Screener/DVD Rips are the only ones you want to download if you want great quality.

lol good luck. hd rips are contained in an .mkv with AC3 for audio. both of which xbox has no idea how to play.

you'll have to do some sort of bizarre conversion/re encode (google to see if its been done/doom9.org fourms will help)

and also, most hd rips are 4-20GB.

The largest I have is almost 30 at 1080p.

What he meant was the source of good quality, and of course it is if its a straight DVD Rip.
