Q: How do I watch videos on my ipod with my xbox 360?

I plug in the ipod into the usb port. I can listen to music, but when I go to select the ipod as my video source it isn't highlighted and wont let me select it. I don't have this problem with music, but I do with videos.

I want to watch videos using my ipod as usb hard drive source, not converted ones for that I use the special cables for ipod to plug them into the tv.

I now want to use my ipod as a hard disc drive (big usb) because of it´s capacity but won't recognize it as a usb source, when I plug any other usb I can play them perfectly.

Why I want to do this?:

Well I download my favorite tv series episodes as divx, and I do not like to wait until they convert and sync them into the ipod, this takes me around 20 min per episode. Other way I found is to copy them as soon as I download them to a usb and plug them into the xbox 360 and watch them, the problem is that my usb is 2 GB and if I want to watch more than 4 episodes I have to go back to my pc after I watched some of them, erease them and copy the other ones, so I tried using my ipod (60 GB) well around 10 GB left for coping more than 10 episodes at the time and that way I do not have to go back to my pc in all afternoon just keep on playing the next episodes. Also want to watch full music concerts when partying

So really need a way for my xbox 360 to recongize my ipod as USB so I can play them all day long

PLEASE HELP

Xbox 360 / Ipod Video 60GB (5 Gen), Windows XP Pro

    I have no idea how this could even work because to even listen to music by streaming it through your ipod to the 360 you have to download an update... I've tried it too to no avail and there is a dashboard update coming on the 19th that's completely different from the old dashboard... Who knows if the old patch to stream music will even work? Hopefully you have an internet connection and a Netflix account...
