When it comes to backing up and streaming blu-ray movies to Xbox 360 Slim from NAS, there is something you need to pay attention to. The Xbox 360 will support as big of a storage device as you can format using FAT32, and the maximum size of any single file on FAT32 is 4GB. Besides that, the maximum file size for an AVI, MPEG-4 Part 2, and H.264 file that can be played is 4 GB as well. To play a file greater than 4GB on Xbox 360, you have to stream videos from your NAS/ PC to Xbox 360 console, and notice that the file format must be WMV only. Why is it WMV format? That maybe WMV is a codec developed by Microsoft. That is to say, we can consider WMV HD as the optimal format to play or stream to Xbox 360 to some extent.

There are multiple blu-ray/DVD ripping applications for you to choose from. It hard to decide which one does the best when ripping blu-ray and DVD to NAS for streaming to Xbox 360 Slim, and most are capable of ripping Blu-ray/DVD to WMV videos for Xbox playback. Personally I recommend Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper for newbies that are blown away by format settings like codec, resolution, bit rate, frame rate, audio channels, etc. The app, unlike most blu-ray ripping software, features intuitive interface and provides users with presets for Xbox 360, which cover 640*480, 1280*720 and 1920*1080 full HD WMV （yet it allows you to adjust the bit rate, frame rate, etc of preset formats as long as you like）.

A most impressing feature of the Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper lies in fool-operation: you load the BD/ DVD movie from target BD or optical drive, select a desired format for Xbox 360 game console playback, and click the big Convert button to start ripping blu-ray/ DVD movie to Xbox 360 optimal formats. The full process is completed in several clicks. And the WMV HD format creates high quality video 5.1 surround sound, resulting in perfect sound affect with you home theater system.

The Pavtube Blu-Ray Ripper works well with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Ripping time (duration) differs, ranging from one hour to 8 hours. In a word, the higher quality the video is, the longer time it requires. It is a common sense that blu-ray ripping is time-consuming (due to the huge file size); using a speedy computer will greatly reduce processing time. FYI, Pavtube also posted step-by-step guide for ripping blu-ray and DVD to Xbox 360. (Click the link to check more details).
