DVD to hard drive, then watch from hard drive

Modchip allows you to install applications on it.  Install Xbox Media Center and you can stream things TO it and watch them on the TV.

The Xbox Media Center is AMAZING... Cannot stress enough how much it rocks! Not the easiest thingto configure, but once you get it going it is great. Also streams from a shared iTunes library.

ChadTower:

The hub that runs to my upstairs is only 10mpbs... any idea how well XBMC functions with that bandwidth?  Not a hard thing to do to upgrade that hub but I'd rather know it is a limitation ahead of time.

DrumAnBass:
Well I use it with a cheap (Motorola) wireless adaptor - and my main computer is an old G4 running OS-X with a Linksys WRT54G router. The Xbox cannot handle streaming video from my Mac. So I just FTP ripped DiVX movies to the upgraded 200gb drive I installed in my Xbox. Music streams perfectly.

However I have heard that you should be able to succesfully stream video from a PC using Samba sharing. The best place for info on this stuff are the forums @ http://xbox-scene.com

severdhed:
another vote for xbmc.

i stream divx movies from my PCs over 100mb network and it works fine, i've never tried over 10mb.  you can pick up a 10/100 switch for like $15 at newegg.com
