Xbox 360 HD DVD Emulator - Now Free
Posted by XanTium | March 5 00:39 EST | News Category: Xbox360
 
From Amy Dullard's Blog (program manager at Microsoft):
[QUOTE]
The Xbox 360 HD DVD Emulator is now available as a free download on Xbox Live Marketplace when you request a token at here.

Why is it free now?
This decision was made in light of Toshiba's recent announcement that they are discontinuing their HD DVD business. The reasons for offering the emulator for free are two-fold.
Microsoft is committed to interactivity and giving content authors the ability to create more compelling entertainment experiences. The specification for HDi was developed with significant input from studios like Warner Bros. and Disney based on scenarios they desired in the next generation format. Offering the emulator for free allows a greater audience to experiment with interactivity with little to no cost.
Second, the emulator beta program had approximately 80 participants across the industry who relied on the emulator for testing HDi content. Continued access to the emulator will assist those post houses and developers in completing their outstanding HD DVD projects.

What can I do with this?
The Xbox 360 HD DVD Emulator allows you to run complete HD DVD projects - video, audio, and advanced interactivity - on your Xbox 360 from an external USB drive or networked PC. If you're interested in learning more about HDi and how to create your first HDi application, start in the April 2007 section of this blog and work your way forward.
If you're interested in a tool for muxing video to test on the emulator, be sure to check out NetBlender's DoStudio MX. They also have a demo project that you can run on the emulator.
Note that you do not need to have video in your project, though. Your playlist may contain titles without PrimaryAudioVideoClip(s).
Once you have your project looking just the way you want, you can burn it to a DVD-9 and share it. More info on burning DVD-9s can be found here. FYI, I use a Pioneer DVD burner, Gear Pro Professional software, and Verbatim discs.

well well... it would be much easier if MS would give us smb (samba) access to windows machines and let us stream .avis .mpgs .x264 etc over the network.

+1 ... cause i think basically the samba stuff and x264 (.mkv) would be GREAT! ... cause for .avi (XviD/DivX) i still think XBMC for XBox1 is the best.

I think it was a reference to the fact that Pioneer DVD writers and Verbatim DVD+R DL are the most common combination people use to backup their games. They're almost saying "yeah, we know you do it so you'll have the hardware and media already"!

So, does this application mean there's life after HD-DVD?

I'm confussed. I just wanna stick an x264 on a USB stick, put it in the damn 360... and play it like I do my XViD's.

I can do that with this?
