PC to Xbox 360 - Media centre
All of mine are avi files and 99% of them play on my 360!
Only the odd one or two dont that require a strange codec! Are you actually using the media centre or just sharing folders out from your PC?

Wanted it use it so I dont have to burn any DVDs to watch them.
Custard...that link...is it for the PS3? got confused because of the name
works on the 360 fine
i actually run the beta version and its better for me so you may want to give it a try

For starters, what size TV are you streaming to?
I don't use .avi anymore, and I prefer the 1080 .mkv rips - but the 360 won't play those unless in the .wmv container or something :shrug:
Then again, I don't use the 360 to watch movies - I prefer Popcorn Hour

It's not the size, it's what you do with it!

Well it's only Emmerdale recordings! Recorded through my PC, then burnt to DVD, then put through Super and then Videmux to get rid of the ad's!
You have any better suggestions?

what rather than streaming everything through the network
seems a faff to me
a few TB of storage via the PC suffices
