[Rud]

no i have XP Service pack 2 so i have to use WINDOWS MEDIA CONNECT, accourding to its FAQ it supports video to other DRM's but mentions that the DRMs might not be compatible, but i always thought video was ok on the 360 via this...do i need to get something of xbox live?!

[Black_Smoke]

In order to view videos u need Windows Media Center. If u are using windows media connect then u can only view ur photos and music

[Rud]
