Question about USB drive and X360


Recommended Posts

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.

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

Wow, its good that I checked first! I can format FAT32, not an issue. Can the 360 play MKV, or just AVI/MP4?

no MKV support that I can see.

 

Yeah the 360 is really starting to show its age; isn't really even good as a media center anymore if you ask me

I didn't realize just how old the 360 is getting! FAT32 was the first clue, AVI files are generally bigger as well, I was hoping I could at least get MKV, oh well

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
