new xbox saving movies

johnjoe96

hey guys i was just wondering can you save movies on to the new xbox
360 hdd?, a friend of mine told me you could but i think he only heard it.
and i mean from a computer or mem stick not from xbox live,
cause i would probably get one if you could otherwise the 250gig hdd
is pretty useless.

In a word ..... NO

250 might seem like a lot but when you play the amount of games I do and have them al installed it fairly eats into the disc space, I thought 120 was enough, but my rock band / guitar hero game installs and dlc come to 30 GB alone :eek: I'm lazy about deleting old games I don't have or play any more but after doing that so I just have dlc / saves / games I still play I only have 5gb free on 120 gb

You can watch movies from a usb stick or external hard drive , and now you can install games to it and save games also, but limited to 2 devices connected at a time and 16gb of space if you are formatting for xbox installs and saves, for moves and music on externals though it's as much as you want depending on formatting and partitioning

same deal unfortunately, only way to get music on the drive is to manually put the cd in and rip it to the drive

Forget dvds

you can stream music and movies over wifi using

windows media center

zune software (olny plays music and only in wma)

vuze will transcode movies into formats the xbox can read and will stream they to the xbox

Yep, thtas what I do and it works a treat.
Use Vuze man, its deadly

that's a bit sucky. I always assumed you could transfer files from a memory stick/external hdd to the xbox hdd. I go down the wireless streaming route myself. works a charm just using the plain old dashboard I find.

Didn't know vuze transcoded files, could be fairly useful. Always wondered why it showed up as a seperate wireless network.

I use TVersity and it's great. Great as far as streaming goes though, I usually use 16GB of external memory on my Creative Vision M for holding movies and such, external memory is the way I think.

well i have the elite at the moment and a mac so i use connect 360 to stream
but it would be better if it was like the playstation and could just save the movies on it,
some billionaire should start a company and make the best of both consoles,
now that would sell:D
