Windows Media Center

I have folder on my laptop where I keep all my videos. How can I share it so that I'll be able to access it on my xbox 360 through the media center? I've tried enabling "shared" on the folder itself but I can't see the folder on the xbox 360. Any ideas?

Are you wireless or wired? It is much easier if you can possibly wire your media centre into your xbox 360. However, if you are on a network it is also possible to do.

My laptop is wireless and the 360 is wired. I can get my music and photos fine but the video's I can't seem to get going. There is a folder on my laptop that my 360 does recognize, however, that means I'll have to copy all my video files to that folder. I'm trying to avoid that.

I think that your videos have to be in your "My Videos" folder.
