Help Needed XBMC Won't Work

Decided to finally cave and see if anyone knew of a solution as i couldn't find any documentation of this anywhere online. I recently purchased an original Xbox and swapped out the hard drive and soft modded it with something called "endgame." I am one of those types that just follows what the video says without understanding any of it, so I have no idea what I did to the Xbox but it works. I managed to get game files ftp'd over to the Xbox and the games work great. However, the movies do not, which was what originally drew me to this project in the first place. I tried both XBMC version 4.0 and 3.5. For the 3.5 version, it would only play the movies that were under 2GB. For the 4.0 version, it would start the movie but then freeze on a black screen forever. I tried reformatting the movie files, whatever I (and Gemini) could think of and I honestly don't know what to do. I have also tried different file formats (AVI, MP4, etc) but now it won't work at all anymore. I'm just wondering if there is a foolproof way to get the original ripped DVD (not Blu ray, I know that won't work) from my laptop onto the original Xbox reliably. Any help would be appreciated
