I know that works better than running the HD movie from the console.
I need to know the exact command to put into a .BAT file and run it remotely from my Xbox.
Let's say VLC is located in C:\Program Files\Videolan\VLC\vlc.exe and the movie is in C:\Movies\hd.avi.
What is then the exact syntax to put into the batch file?

All I can say, is good luck viewing the majority of HD video content on your Xbox. Most of the stuff I've fed mine, stutters pretty damn good. The Xbox just doesn't have the horsepower to decode and display HD content in real-time.
Even the 720p DivX files?
People told me they work quite well but x264 or wmv HD.

Think of WinRAR, takes longer to unpack a file that is RAR'd than it does to move it from one drive to another no?
DivX has to be decompressed on the fly, theres some overhead as it is, then you add the high bitrate of HD and you're requiring more power right off the hop. Theres just far more data to be processed.
I'm not saying you won't be able to play some stuff, but for the most part, you're going to hit a wall. It's hit and miss depending on the level of compression, and the overall bitrate. You'll have better luck playing back HD content that uses lesser compression models, x264 doesn't utilize a high compression model and even features a loss-less model. WMV is simply flawed from the get-go, and I certainly don't recommend it for anything if you want to encode video "well".
