Movies on Xbox?

is there anyway i can watch burned movies on my xbox? I got a Xbox Dvd Remote, i tryed to play one of my burned dvds that i played in my dvd player and it worked in my dvd player but not xbox, Am i suppose to burn it into a special format so it works on xbox? or what am i doing wrong?

 

Try DVD-R media. What's the read speed, not sure xbox's read 8x, try 4x.

 

what happens when you try to play it? Is your Xbox modded? If so do you have a DVD player aplication isntalled on the Xbox to play the DVD?

 

Try changing booktype to dvdrom(i did this and my unmodded xbox plays all of them)

 

Yes.

dont now, dont know what your doing at all.


Answer all the questions above ^^^, your box modded, if so do you have a DVD player prog installed.

 

I just have a question to add.. With a modded xbox can you watch movies.. without buying the dvd remote unit.. Thanks

 

Yea.

 

yep just pop the burned dvd in no need for the remote......
@Mr.Bones
you have to be modded to play backed up dvd's sorry if your not....

 

No mod is needed to watch burned discs. You need the remote, that's all.

 

I have the remote but never use it lol. I use the game controler. Bur my Xbox is modded. In my opinion it was a waist of money buying the remote. Anyway I hardly ever play DVD's on it anyway. I used to play AVI on it off the drive using XBMC but I dont even do that anymore I just network to the computer and run them that way.

If its a DVD I will use a cheap DVD player no use putting extra ware and tare on my unit.

 

My xbox is not modded, and i do have a xbox dvd remote so how can i make this work?

 

look on the internet for a program that allows you to change the book type setting to dvd rom also theres a site(havent been there in a while that list which type and bbrand of discs will play in which player(includind xbox and ps2s)If you have a liteon burner go to lite on site and get there booktype prg

But thats all you(should)need to do is change to dvd-rom

 

In my experience, you plug in the receiver "dongle" and insert DVD. After loading, use as a normal DVD player using the remote to navigate. YMMV due to what drive you have though. My boxes have Thompson drives and I've tried many media formats, and they worked just fine.

 

i got a samsung drive :\

 

Oh btw if i burn it as a dvd rom do i just burn the wmv file to the cd? or do i need to convert it to dvd or what?

 

You'll need to have a properly formatted DVD to get it to play.
