Hey DDD123...no you don't have to have your video files in any special format they just have to be in a format that is supported by Xbox Media Center (which is basically EVERY format ).  Remember the limitations of Xbox file names (42 characters or less and no special symbols like $%^ etc.)  Put the files either in your E: or F: partition on your Xbox (or G: if you have a hard drive over 137 gigs with LBA support .  Remember to put them in a place you will remember like say F:\Videos and make sure you have enough hard drive space.  Hope that helps!
