Nope but the DVDR plays a treat.

Yeah, but I ripped the mpeg first before sending it to the hd.

Yeah it's taken me 4 days of virgin mpeg ripping, encoding,decoding,etc but I finally have it in 4 chapters on a DVD-R. Pop the disc in the Xbox and it plays perfectly.

Just gotta burn it again now so that it boots in normal dvd players. (I'll try Nero without the 'Force Xbox Video mode'box checked).

Nice going mate - thats a good job converting it but actually I was talking about the DVDR version - surely you could have download 4 gig in the time it took to convert it ?

I managed to get the svcd version before the DVDR one. Typical! It's all good practice for me though.

Is the dvdr the same thing as the screener version being offered at movieshop, widescreen & 5.1 ?

**KReaToR** · 16th January 2003

ZX7R,
please how do you ensure that your encoded dvdrs play on the xbox as i have films which conventional dvd players play no problem but the xbox refuses to look at them.
its definately not a media problem and someone suggested it is down to ifoediting the dvdr.
is there a way of converting existing dvdr to play on xbox ?

That's funny as I'm having problems getting it working on normal DVD players!

First of all I'm running the DVD-R on a enigmah chipped xbox with an official dvd kit installed.

1) I got the 4 x SVCD version.
2) Extracted Video and Audio from each (x4)disc/MPEG with TMPEG
3)Converted the audio file to 48K AC3 format using Besweet.
4)Multiplexed each of (x4) audio and video files into a .VOB file using ifoedit.
5)Used Vobedit to join the (x4).VOB files thus creating a new set of VOB files.
6)Used ifoedit and created IFO files for the new 4 VOBs so they are treated as chapters.
7)Burnt on NEO premium discs in latest version of Nero Burning ROM. UDF/ISO mode with 'Force Video Compatibility Mode for Xbox' turned on (although I do not think the tick box is necessary). (Used standard AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folder structure)

At the moment the xbox is in NTSC mode using the Enigmah Video Select app.
Pop the disc in and off it plays.

Now when I try and put it in a normal players I just get 'Disc not recognised' or nothing happen at all. Can any of you explain what I may be doing wrong? How do I get it working on normal players?

Anyway, I hopes this helps you.

what happens if you burn your original image using nero with "force xbox compatibility" option switched off or loading/burning the image with prassi?

**ZX7R** · 20th January 2003

I think I may of found out what was wrong...

THis time I used IFOedit and corrected VTS sectors. Then burnt the disc using Prassi. I have yet to try it in a normal dvd player.

**Pie** · 21st January 2003

had major problems playing all dvd-r movies but if i use prassi dvd and burn them in udf format and they all play perfect in the xbox and stand alone dvd players

**ZX7R** · 21st January 2003

well I did it with prassi and tried it on a dvd. It only plays about 30 seconds of it and then goes tits up. The pictures is also way off-centre so only a part of it is showing.
