    Just a quick question regarding playing movies off a hdd...

    Have a media disk I use for watching videos on the tv but it's full and I need some more space. How do I format a new hdd so that the Xbox will recognise it? It doesn't recognise my current one. Will any external drive be able to work with the 360 once it's formatted properly?

    You will need to format it to the HFS+ file system (mac filesystem) if you want to be able to put files > 4gb on it, eg HD-WMV files.

    This tutorial helped me convert to HFS+, I have a 500gb Seagate and the tutorial writer used the same hd, lucky me. I'll try the convert to pocketdivxconverter... what do you mean change the output to monitor/>

    Was in the middle of watching a film when it popped up with a compatability issue. Status Code: 69-80070017

    Now I get the red symbols next to the files too which makes no sense because it was working. Anybody else experience this? Googling that code has returned nothing.
