Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 268

Haly · 20-01-2008, 17:39

Does anyone know if it's possible to stream a DVD iso over to a 360 somehow?
I know how to stream avi files etc with Tversity, just not quite sure what to do with a DVD iso

Other than to mount it on the PC then use dvdshrink to rip it to just the film.

can you mount the iso and stream that?

This any help?

That's all you can do I think Jen, I don't know any way to stream an ISO.

Are you using the external hard drive like you wanted to? How's it going using it?

We've been using ours now for around a month, it's only a 250Gb (soon to be replaced by a 500Gb one) and it's been a mixed bag to be honest. Most of the files we have play with out trouble it's just a PIA at times having to keep changing the resolution each time I play a video.

We have found some files play sound but the video remains blank. It's back to the iBook when that happens

Bah these things should be simpler, or should I wait till I feel better to do things that involve thought......it's one of the two

I haven't used the external hard drive yet, I tested it with the files already on there but half the stuff wouldn't play anyhow

Ultimately I think I might do better connecting the PC up instead, then I've got more options. But I haven't got the ability to play or pause without moving across the room which was kind of the whole point in the first place

I might just carry on using TVersity then if it's a problem using the hard drive, or just set up the laptop instead.

Haly · 20-01-2008, 19:09

Laptop is what I'd like to do eventually. Won't be for a few months yet though, that or maybe even a Mac mini but laptop would probably be more practical.

Me and tversity get on well, everything just works. The new interface looks spiffy too:

Oooh nice new interface

Much nicer than the current one.

I'm just streaming straight to the 360 now, works far better than it ever did with tversity and the only problem I've had is with the .ts files I mentioned in the other thread.
