Moving Data from PC to XBOX 360?

[xerolen]

Hey does anyone know if it's possible to move a bunch of music onto a USB flash drive then plug that into the XBOX 360 and copy the music off my USB? I want to move my WMP library onto my 360 as I only use it as a media center these days.

You can do that on the 360, just make sure the flash drive is 16GB or less.

Can I do the same with Video?

You can share those folders from your PC and download them to your 360 through the network. If you can figure that out it'll be a lot easier than moving stuff over.

Yes you can do the same with video but the files have to be a compatible format.

You can use Handbrake to convert any of your video files to .mp4 using the default normal profile. Just install, click source video, choose an output location, click start. Easy as that.

Get vuze and you can stream the mp4 to the box. Vuze is free

I know how to stream just using windows but I wanted to move all the Data over to the Xbox since I move it around all the time and it's not always at the same place.
