Movies in HDD

[butowood]

Is it possible to put Movies (AVI files) into the JTAG XBOX 360? and how? I ripped my movies into my desktop and just wondering if it's possible because I need the space in my pc. I searched the forum and got a run around!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

yes you can store on a jtag 360 (or i did) ,you will have to make sure you have the media update to play them thou,and i used media centre along with millersoft mce tunerfree

Alls you need is Optional Media Update & just play them on your normal M$ Dash on a USB drive... maybe even hdd haven't tried that one must check it out. lol

I still can't figure this out, I need to do a media update to play movies from my HDD. how can i do an Optional Media Update??? Through XBOX LIVE??? But wouldn't that ban me??? Do I go back to my original DASHBOARD??? and turn off the JTAG??? Any help or advice will greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance.

the media update can be gotten from most places you would get jtag files and its not a update to the 360 its just a file that goes on the hdd to allow .avi to be played

Ok you get black screen what are you trying to play xbox dont play every single format you know this right so if you put in something that is not supported you can get just a black screen because the Codec is wrong eg.
