Watching Vid's on the 360.

[bradshaw85]

i recently hooked my PC up to the XBOX360 and i can see that you can only play music and watch your pictures, has any body got a clue on how to watch movies from the HD on the PC.

Thanks, Chris.

I think you have to use Windows Media Center.

Windows Media Center ? is that cheap to buy >?

[kosmiq]

Its a version of windows thats is built on WinXP but looks and feels different. Its also designed for media use.

Microsofts offical page here:

However I would recommend sticking with regular XP from my experience as I have never been a fan of Media Center.

Windows MC is basically XP pro without remote desktop (like home), and may require a little more work to join a domain (only bussiness really need this). Obviously, it also has that GUI option people usually recognize from the images of MCE.

XP:MCE is the same price as XP:Pro.

ok thanks for that i got Windows Media Center now, but i got it without the reciever and remote (£50+ extra other wise)
i have now installed EVERYTHING as asked for but when it says for Security blablablabal on the 360 i write down the code "3244-2343"(< not the real one) and i click continue then i goto www.xbox.com/pcsetup i download it i install it but not at any stage do i get asked to input a number, it does'nt look like im doing wrong, all i wanna do is watch me movies off my PC to the 360 why does everything have to be a pain :@
