Convert it to M-JPEG (Motion JPEG) using Wii Video 9, whack it on an SD card, & then put the SD card in the Wii & watch the video using the "Photo Channel".
Far from ideal, but it's limited by what the Wii supports.
Not tried it yet myself though. Don't actually need the functionality personally (XBMC & my 360 handle everything I need media-wise), but I might try it out anyway to see what it's like.

Yep, the 360 works extremely well with media streaming (& will also play files burnt to CD/DVD or stored on an external USB2 HDD).
The "Spring Update" due next month is adding extra codec support too... H.264 (aka AVC aka MPEG-4 Part 10), MPEG-4 Part 2 (only "Simple Profile" though, not the "Advanced Simple Profile" required for divx/xvid unfortunately), & also support for videos using Windows Media DRM ("PlaysForSure" ?)[already has support for WMA using WM-DRM].
Although, the lack of divx/xvid support on the 360 means I still use my old modded Xbox with XBMC. Brilliant software. Plays everything you throw at it, with the exception of VC-1 & AVC.
