How to Transfer Videos From a Computer to an Xbox 360 Hard Drive

The Xbox 360 is much more than a simple video game console. The machine can play music, movies, stream video from your PC onto your TV and, with a connected hard drive, can save your movie and music files. Transferring these files to your Xbox 360 from your PC is not an overly difficult task, though it does require a small piece of third-party hardware.
