I have burnt a few DVDrips and no matter what I do, I can't get it to play.. is this even supported? if not, is there anything that is?

I can get the VCD .dat files by themselves to playback.
Try browsing the disk and see you cannot playback just the .dat's

As far as I an remember this is a feature they WANT to support, but isn't implemented yet.

Maybe this should go in a sticky or something, something like a FAQ about what works, what does not work and what has to be done to make certain things work?

I really hope they support it, that would make XBMP perfect in all aspects (as far as available features; the bugs gone would be nice as well )

VCD dat files work fine....

I would rather go that way as the DVD players in the XBOX are hard to come by once they die off. The more you use it in my personal opinion the more you kill it's life span.

Five mins to transfer a dat (renamed mpg or not ) is not a factor. And yes I have over 100 VCD's But I play them in the DVD player that supports them and leave the Xbox for the AVI's no more converting .

Oh yeah my collection is all on CDR's no way am I going to transfer them to CDRW's no way

so you're saying I have to rename the dat files? I'm not sure I follow

Well, no matter what I do It will not play.... well,it plays something that vaguely resembles 'garble'. The vcd image (dat file) does work on my computer (I do not have a dvd drive on my computer, it's a cdrw - to watch I'm using PowerDVD).

Any ideas?

Try booting up media player with the disc in the drive. Then go to my videos, and when you can select folders then press the red button to go back in the folder view. Do it again to see the partitions(drives) on the Xbox HD. Select the iso 9660 option there and if the Xbox can read the media, the familiar VCD folder setup should appear. Try to navigate to the AVSEQ001.DAT file and play it. Does it work?

hummm....

this is what i did to get vcd to work.

i found that when i used winiso and converted the image to iso it made a seperate *.dat file. no if you ftp this file to your xbox it will run in xbmp. all the vcd i have tried work with no problem.
svcd is another story. up to now i haven't gotten and svcd to work. if anyone can help i would appreciate it.

I can only get it to load. It does the loading bar, get's to 100%, then just disappears. Doesn't play it, the loading bar just disappears. . . .

Are you Cashing the files to the Hard Drive First?
If so try turning off cashing and stream the avi from the media...
