use HDDHackr v1.30 (illegal if you abuse it). Search through pendrive for the xxx.avi file. Some cases its encrypted. Then your out of luck.

i found this to be the easiest. Other method will have to access through PC by networking.

thanks. won't abuse it la. just want to keep those movie only or post it to YouTube to share.

No luck for me even after downloading the update, still cant get it to play in my console via my pendrive. You can play your mp4 in your xbox without modifying the files?

don't know can use hddhackr. use PartyBuffalo is maybe easier.

Check the video first in VLC media player on desktop (Tools > Codec Information). If it says something like H264 or MPEG 4 then it should just play.

And you should check the video container too. Sometimes the video is using MP4 extension with H264 or MPEG4 codec, but it's using MKV as container. MKV cant be played on xbox 360.

To make sure your xbox can't really play mp4 or not, try download movie trailer from Quicktime site onto your desktop. Copy it on a pendrive and play it on the xbox.

Basically, the XBOX is a shitty piece of media player. Just pay RM 2xx for a WDTV Live or something. Problem solved.

DRM and everything, it sucks. how i wish for XBMC like back on those days
