Watching movies from your laptop on your Xbox

Hey guys,
I did a search and it didn't yield anything. I am wondering if there is a free way or easy way to be able to watch some movies that I have on my laptop, on top my Xbox. I want to be able to watch them on my TV and don't have any blank DVDs to burn them. I would think there would be a way, do I just need to connect with media player maybe...?
Any insights?

If your xbox is set up wireless then can recommend Connect360 which will stream all your media content through your xbox.

  • Will this cable work for watching movies from my laptop in my HDTV?

    Does anyone know if this works, I want to use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable http://bit.ly/6BT6W3 to connect my MacBook Pro to my Sony LCD HDTV via HDMI to watch movies from my laptop in my TV? I read that there were problems with the audio using the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • Watching movies through your computer

    I want to start watching movies through my laptop on my tv but I'm not sure what I need to do that. If anyone could help me out, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

    Amanda:
    I am not sure which PowerBook G4 you have and what type video out port is on it. You may have a DVI or VGA. You will need a cable to connect to the HDMI or VGA port on your TV set. If you have DVI on your computer you can get a DVI to HDMI cable like this one to connect the computer to the TV. If you have only a VGA port you will need a VGA cable. In addition to the video connection you will need an audio cable to connect the computer at the headphone port to the TV set. Check to see which ports you have and post back.

  • If you watch movies on your airport disk on leopard

    Please tell me whether your movie is well streamed or not, if you watch movies on your airport disk on leopard.
    I used to watch movies on my air disk when it was Tiger, but on leopard it's all laggy now and I can't watch one... I want to find out if my AEBS is faulty, or it's a general problem.
    Thanks!

  • I live in Chile and would like to watch movies from my MacBook to my JVC HD Television.. What cables do I need to purchase to do this?

    I live in Chile and would like to watch movies from my MacBook to my JVC HD Television.. What cables do I need to purchase to do this?

    You'll need a Mini-DVI adapter for the MacBook 4,1 and the iMac 8,1 and a cable from that to your TV. Here's the various types of Mini-DVI adapters on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13
    (Composite is the red, white and yellow RCA plugs on your TV or red, white and S-Video plugs.)
    You'll also need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the Composite. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate audio input plugs on your TV.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.

  • HT1551 Airplay problems trying to watch movies from another player besides itunes.

    I just bought my apple tv and want to watch movies from my macbook without mirroring my whole computer screen. Is it possible to do that? Do I have to use itunes to airplay movies? I use a VLC player to watch movies and it does not give me an air play button. So the only way to watch my HD movies is to miror my whole computer screen and then it doesnt even give me audio. Audio only works with quicktime player with mirroring. Any tips/suggestions? And I have apple tv 3 it wouldnt give me the option to select it.

    iTunes is the only app that can airplay natively, everything else is via mirroring. In terms of 3rd party apps there is one called beamer, it has a trial so you can see if it works for your needs.

  • How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

    How do I add a movie from my laptop to iTunes, what should be the file extension.

    The extension is usually .mov, .m4v, or .mp4.   But you can't just change the extension.  The movies have to be encoded in a particular fomat.  Anything downloaded from iTunes or plays in Quicktime player will be fine.

  • How do I copy an iTune movie from my laptop to my netbook?

    OK, I hope you can understand what I'm trying to do. I have iTunes on my laptop where I sync my iPod. I loaded iTunes on my netbook (but don't plan on syncing with my iPod, leaving that for the laptop). Anyway, I have movies on my laptop and iPod. I can use my account on my netbook, which is fine.
    Now I copied a movie from my laptop to a flash card. I took the flash card to my netbook, it plays the movie fine, but I wanted to copy it to the iTunes on the netbook so I don't have to carry the flash card around. I did a copy on the drive the card was in and did a paste to "Program Files" then to "iTunes", figuring it will go to the right spot. Well, it showed that it was there but when I tried to play the movie it said it couldn't locate it.
    Where am I going wrong in the pasting of the movie after I do the copy? Can it be done?

    Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> General preferences. Then just drag the movie from the flash card to the iTunes window. iTunes will copy the movie to the correct place.
    Content you copy into the Program Files -> iTunes folder will never be recognized by iTunes (that's not where iTunes keeps it's media) so you can delete that copy of the movie.
    Regards.

  • Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Is there a restriction on how many simultaneous wireless iPads can watch movies from one iTunes account or AppleTV generation 2 or later?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I find it hard to believe that this information isn't clearly available somewhere, but it isn't and I don't think I've seen anyone here who is 100% sure. However, I believe you can have up to 10 associated devices, which include authorised computers (of which you can have up to 5), I suspect the Apple TV might become a temporary associated device while it's in use, but I'm not entirely sure myself.
