Can you not look in the properties on your laptop to adjust the settings?

Just make sure the 360 is on the same network as the laptop/pc/HDD, go into windows media player an share the directory and the 360 will pick them up in your movies folder. I'd search Google for a more in-depth explanation on setting it up.

You can download free programs where you can force change the resolution if your laptop doesnt have the setting needed.
All i had to do was change the aspect ratio on my tv to a different setting

Works on both ps3 and xbox, down to your preference, I use my ps3 purely because i use it more and can check whos online, iv used it on the 360 and works just as well tbh.

 I like the design of them so i lined them up. Couldn't fit all of the different ones on so had to select the best ones.
Thats really sad isn't it?
