Videos?

Sorry guys in advance, XBox definitely isn't my forte. Anyways, in short, my question is this:
Is there any way to put videos onto the HDD?
Yes, I google'd it. Yes, I realize that the answer is probably no. But I just wanted to see if there was any headway in the area. It's ridiculous that I can pay $100 for a 250 gig hard drive to go with the slim, but can be so limited in it. From what I've read, even a SATA cable isn't the answer since the videos aren't "Digitally Signed" (?)

Can't you purchase them online?
Other than that, I don't know...

Hmmm, you know I've never really thought about doing that till now. Up till now I've always just streamed videos off my computer through media extender or w/e its called, or bought them thru zune. I'd try putting the movie on a flash drive and see if you can play it thru there. If you can stream videos I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to store them on your hd.

Alright, well thanks. Yea, it can play through USB but there's no option to save them. And you can't rip them as you would music. Doesn't even work with a plain .avi. I was just curious because I'm always taking my xbox over to other people's houses, and the less I have to pack with me the better.

Well thank you guys again, if anyone could shed some more light on this I'd appreciate it.

I appreciate it, but this is one-way. It won't let you do this in reverse.
