How to Transfer Movies to an Xbox 360 Hard Drive

The easiest way to transfer movies to the Xbox 360 hard drive is via USB flash drive. The Xbox 360 can play video directly off of the USB flash drive or copy the video file from the flash drive to the hard drive. Once the movie is transferred, you can use the onscreen Xbox 360 media player controls to manipulate (e.g. play/pause) the video. Supported video formats include AVI, DIVX, WMV and MP4.
