Go ask this question in the HDDVD Hardware forum......since its a HDDVD hardware question.
The 360 can stream WMV, WMVHD feeds..and if you use the ZUNE software, it can stream some H264 as well.

thanks for your opinion. however I asked it where i felt I may get the most response for what I am doing. But since you want to be technical its all more of a software thing then a hardware thing . Thanks for putting your tittly smug opinion in. ;) If you want to be less of an a$$hat you should have said "Hey the guys over on the hd-dvd forum have been answering this question try there" instead of a "Completly, Wrong , Forum" or "Are you KIDDING ME" you got a wonderfully internet tough guy attitude.
Further more its not really about if I am right or wrong its your attitude and how you come off. Regardless of anything. If someone answered a question of mine "are you kidding me" I would think that person is a useless waste of space. I dont need the "my wang is bigger then yours internet attitude" Thanks.
Isn't this one of the features the MS touted as Managed Copy? Yet, I have not heard anything about this since the pre HD DVD release hype.
Mike LS 08-20-07, 04:05 PM Seems doing that would defeat the purpose of copy management. If you can copy to hard disk, you can copy it to another media.
formulanerd 08-20-07, 04:05 PM sounds like the question is in the right forum to me.
"how do i get my media (type is irrelevant really) to stream on my 360"

Since this could be a touchy subject by some I'm just going to suggest you do a google search on "BackupHDDVD" I don't feel knowledge is wrong but many many people feel ripping your own discs for use by yourself can be considered illegal. Once you get the video files on your hard drive it shouldn't be to difficult to send that to your xbox. I would think transcode360 or tversity would help serve it to your 360. Others could chime in that have knowledge with the codecs and such.

ah the transcoder handle the hd-dvd media ok? I have a modest a few year old computer now (amd 4200x2).
What he is trying to do isn't really backing up an HD DVD. It rips the disk to the hard drive where a level of DRM is added. It can then be streamed to authorized devices. The 360 was suppossed to be able to do this with a Windows Media Server. It looks like this capability should appear sometime soon -

assasyn 08-20-07, 05:06 PM Seems like it's in the right forum to me and the replies seem kind of dickish also. I unfortunately have no answer for you.
HeadRusch 08-20-07, 07:45 PM Sorry, thought you were asking how to rip HDDVD's to your PC.......
Streaming: You can stream WMVHD's and you can stream H264 files, some of them, if you use the ZUNE software instead of MediaPlayer11.
spinksjinx 08-20-07, 08:53 PM Rip HD-DVD to MKV file
Convert MKV file to WMV-HD 720p Xbox 360 format using Windows movie maker
Store in video folder and stream.
Voila!
utcpyro 08-21-07, 12:15 AM I'd suggest getting it into a format that Encode360 can read. That way you cna stream it out in full 5.1 glory if you have the setup to handle it. It's what I do with SD-DVD's right now and works wonderfully

Any PC specs for the HD side?
