. However, all movies are still viewable on the zune itself but the res is still limited by its screen========================================================================
After testing out some of the videos I converted with the zune's factory software... I was pretty disappointed. Watching a 240x320 movie isn't that satisfying on a 1080i big screen.
In order to watch full res movies you'll first need to enable your zune as a mass storage device. Here's a guide from Phaleux.com taken originally from zuneboards.com.

- Make sure your Zune is not plugged in and your Zune software isn’t running
- open up regedit by going to the start menu and selecting “run”. Type regedt32 and hit “OK”
- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Enum\USB\
- Search for “PortableDeviceNameSpace”. This should be contained in the Vid_####&Pid_####\########_-_########_-_########_-_########\Device Parameters within the above …\USB\ The ##’s listed here will be numbers and letters specific to your Zune [Note by me - when using this guide I found several of these devices however your zune will be the only device with the options below under the deviceperameters]
- Change the following values:
EnableLegacySupport to 1
PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell to 0
ShowInShell to 1 - Plug in your Zune, and make sure the Zune Software starts up.
When writing or reading from the zune you have to click "start sync" in your zune software. This is because all of the files are locked unless being accessed by the program.
Then, just drag and drop any wmv movies that you have to the video folder. I highly suggest encode360 if you have to convert anything to wmv (xvids, avi, w/e).
ENJOY!
EDIT: Fixed your title
