Just wondering if someone can give me a bit of help.
I've an Xbox360 in the bedroom mainly as a DVD player. Its not attached to the web.
My colleague uses rapidshare to download movies, but we can only use VLC Viewer to watch them in work. They're legal downloads to the best of my knowledge.
I put one onto my memory stick to see if would work with said Xbox, but no joy.
Now the question. Is it possible to load VLC viewer onto a memory stick and install it onto xBox thus playing downloaded movies in future or not?

Any help really appreciated.

no, but there is an upgrade from microsoft to the XBox to allow it to play DivX movies, assuming that's what they're encoded in?
If you connected your XBox to the network, you can stream the movies from your PC, or laptop, to it as well

Thank God for a reply, I was fearing being author of worst thread ever #2!

These are movies downloaded via rapidshare and yes DivX sounds about right!

Much appreciated tets!
