    i tryed alot... xbox doesnt support vcds and i dont have a dvd burner and i really want to get movies off my computer and get them to play in my xbox.

    i tryed converting a movie to vobs and burning them in data format but the dvd player cant read it. im pretty sure that i need to burn these vob files in dvd format (i burnt them with the folders so that wasnt the problem) but i cant find a burner that will burn a cd in dvd format. is that even possable?

    if this isnt possable is there any other way? i really dont want to mod my xbox at this point because i dont want to get kicked off xbox live. has anyone else managed to get videos on the xbox without the use of a dvd burner?

    thank you

    PS: first post!!! sup guys.

    well if i could just ftp em over that means i would have a modded xbox.. and a modded xbox can play vcds so that didnt help much :(

    any other ways? i dont wanna lose my live account just play some movies... and i also dont want to buy a dvd burner.... all logic says that this is possable, so im gonna figure it out!

    So long as you turn your mod chip off you will have no problems getting on live. I say go for the chip. it makes things a lot easier.

    Just install Phoenix BIOS loader. It's easier and free. :D
