360 & WMV's

Obviously putting HD WMV's on a DVD and playing them is a doddle. But
how do you make them appear with a correct name, description and
thumbnail (like any videos downloaded from the marketplace).

The only thing I can find is all reference to downloading and playing
around with the xbox kiosk demo disk but thats 4.1gb and from 2005!!

Surely its just a matter of some .inf files and tiny jpgs??

thanks for any help guys.

This is a shot in the dark, but I would assume a hidden file in the root
called thumbs.db would work.

I don't think that will work - one of the very first dashboard updates
stopped the ability to play the kiosk disk, mainly because it was
unsigned and it could have been used for hacking.

I suppose that it's possible (but not especially likely) that the Xbox
360 uses DVR-MS files to wrap this sort of information around the
video, just as in XP Media Center/Vista Media Center.
