For those with Xbox 360's...

I just recently purchased an Xbox 360, and I was wondering about the capabilities of the hard drive. I know you can copy music via. the dvd-rom drive and such, but what about movies? I know you can stream them via Xbox Live and your PC, but is there a way to actually get them on the hard drive itself? If anyone has figured out a way to do this, or has another way they do it, I'd like to hear it.

you can buy them =]

or find a program that can rip dvds and turns them into files, and then transfer those files via program to your xbox 360 HDD.

and then transfer those files via program to your xbox 360 HDD.

That's the problem, as far as I know, Microsoft won't allow that. The only way I know of is to link your console to your PC, in which you can stream video and music, but I'm trying to actually get it on the hard drive on the Xbox so I don't have to stream it.

External USB HDD, works.

I'm jumping in to see what you guys post.

Currently I can access all my files from the computer through the xbox. Makes playing supra videos very fun. I don't want to leave that computer on all the time just for that reason though. So I'll be moving everything to the external HD and leave it with the xbox.

I would love to wirelessly access that hard drive some how, without having to move it back and forth from the computer to the xbox.
