although i don't have personal experience on this, from what i understand xbox only plays .wmv and maybe a few others like mpeg-2, but does not support divx. (i've also read that there's been an update so it supports .avi as well now, but once again, i've never done it.) it's probably microsoft wanting to promote their proprietary windows encoding through windows media player. so the easiest way seems to be to convert your .divx or whatever into .wmv. i hear winavi works good for this. there's probably a work around...just google search "playing movies on xbox 360 from computer" and i'm sure you'll find something that will work for you

99% it's the codec. http://support.xbox.com/support/en/u...aybackfaq.aspx lists the formats available. You need to look at each file that's not being read by the xbox and see what codec was used for it then re-encode each video to one that the x-box likes. It'll probably take a while to re-encode.
