This is perfectly legal. Fast and soes not require you to buy a bluray player or a single Bluray film.

I own about 150 Bluray Iso's and all up it has cost me £95.

Someof you may be aware of news groups. I use Newsbite and pay £6.99/month. I can download any music, TV show or film. Particualrly I download Bluray HD Iso's. Or what I actual download is the code or information that companies put onto a Bluray disc.

All you need to do to do this is the following.

Buy a HD if you want alot of films. I have a TB USB HD that cost me £69.99.

Files normally download in around 40 - 60 mins for an average BD movie size of 11.5 GB.

You need to download Power Iso to extract the Stream video file out of the ISO. The reason for this is Windows Media Center does not recognise BD Iso's.

With that done, name the film and put it in what ever folder you want to store the HD films in.

Go into Media Center and go to Videos ( not movies ) and add your USB HD to the Library.

Turn on your 360. Start Media Center and go to Videos. The USB HD will be there. Selsct the folder where you have stored the movies and wallah. They are all there ready to play.

And the picture is absolutely perfect. As the 360 is only capable of DTS 5.1, this works beautifully. That is the only drawback no 7.1 ch sound. But then for tha amount of money I have saved for 150+ BD films it is well worth the small time investment and it's so easy to do.

Nice find dude!

Hey just a question but how does Netflix HD compare to Blu-ray?

Hey, Selnor, if your such a smart guy... why are you wasting your precious time posting in this pathetic forum?

For christsakes man,  you should be working for either the ESA or CERN for that matter.  Why waste your time here?

BTW, the directons you list in detail are ,unequivocally, NOT legal.

Not sure. I guess it depends on whether or not the size of the files are compressed or not. ( although the difference is not noticeble with the naked eye ).

The files I download are not compressed in anyway. To be honest a Quad layer DVD would have been fine for HD, but it's the extra features and stuff that make BD easier. The actual film on a BD Disc is never bigger than 12 GB. ( The only ones that have been, I found is King Kong. Weighing in at 13 GB. )

It is possible to compress a BD movie dile down to 4.5gb. Barely noticable difference.

Sorry, I'm new to this site but I find it incredibly strange that you are somehow making a connection between what you posted above and Blu-ray quality. I mean you spent quite a bit of energy to do this. You seem smart enough to know that what you describe has nothing to do with recreating blu-ray quality, in fact it has nothing to do with blu-ray. Am I missing something? 

I guess maybe I haven't figured out who on this site has an agenda or not, sorry.

What the heck are you doing in here??????????????

Why are you purposefully trying to be a troublemaker.

Bluray is regarded as the highest quality of HD picture. Hence making a point of this method being a Bluray quality picture.

I'm not quite sure I follow you. If what I'm thinking your agenda here is, then plaease I ask you kindly to leave the thread. There is absolutely no need for any Console wars in a thread like this.

Pretty good tutorial, but I doubt 11.5 GB is "normally" downloaded in 40-60min for many people :p

Hang on, you can download and keep as many Blu-ray quality movies as you like, from some internet site, for only £6.99 a month, and it's completely legal?  I must be missing something here....

Hey Sel, is this really legal?

Yep. Theres loads of sites out there on which you pay a monthly fee to download files. Torrents are illegal. Such as Torrentz.com etc. But shop around, you can find yourself a nice legal download site which will monthly charge you for the privrldge.
