jnelsoninjax Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 My friend has a 360, and I want to rip some of his DVD collection and put it on a USB drive. Is there any type of restriction as to file system (NTFS, etc) or USB drive size? I have never used a console so I do not know how it works.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted July 5, 2022 Supervisor Share Posted July 5, 2022 on a quick search it sounds like the 360 does NOT support exFat or NTFS so you'd have to have the USB drive formatted FAT32. shouldn't be any drive size restriction that I'm aware. file format would be the other question/limitation. it can do older SD format containers such as AVI but as for modern containers it's limited to MP4 files with the video codec of MPEG-4 AVC H. 264 and MPEG-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can format FAT32, not an issue. Can the 360 play MKV, or just AVI/MP4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the 360 is really starting to show its age; isn't really even good as a media center anymore if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAT32 was the first clue, AVI files are generally bigger as well, I was hoping I could at least get MKV, oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnelsoninjax Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 OK, I was mistaken, he has the Xbox1, but I searched online and found that it has the same limitations on file type, and is still limited to H.264, so I may have to nix the whole idea.
