Are they both networked up?
If so then this will do the trick TVersity - Home (http://tversity.com/)

set up windows media player 11

add everything you want to play into your library (i have set a folder on my F:\ drive as my library)

power up your xbox and try accessing computers on the network, it should show up in wmp11 and you just need to allow access.

make sure that your firewall is configured to allow access too and everything should play fine.

or you could connect your xbox360 to the internet burn your movie on to a dvd or cd if it fits then when u put it in the xbox drive it will say you need a update to play your movie then when it has updated then open the drive and close it then it will start playing hope i have helped you mate

You can convert the movie into a mp4 which should play. ALso heard WMV but not got that to work.

There is free software to convert avi to mp4.

this is the same as playing music off your xbox console if you put the film you want on your computer and then put it on the shared drive and play it off the shared drive of the xbox console :)
