Use a streaming app, like tversity it will convert all your videos on the fly, when watching on your xbox.

MCE is blocked so you cant use it to watch tv/movies/music etc...

I know someone else had a problem with tversity on their banned console in a topic I was just in, they mentioned they use PS3 Media server, and go into the transcode folder to watch their movies, you could try that.
