Yes it's possible with homebrew software called DVD-X 2 released by X-ecuter team.

EDIT:

And since 2005-09-12 you can also use XBMC´s built in DVD player with full dvd menu support!

yep, works great...even has great zoom feature...i love it

Does it have to be mod ?

Yes DVD-X is hombrew software so yes you need a mod chip to run it

however, it dont seem to be working with a remote. at least not the hurricane remote!

DVDX2 does not work with the remote...it is it's own software.
DVDX is a hacked MS Dashboard...it works with the remote.

I think you're using DVDX2 when you should be using DVDX.

will my xbox with xecuter 2.1 lite with the regular linux cromwell bios run this program? if not i can flash the chip with new bios on disc right?

Surely the dvd kit just puts a file on the xbox? why doesn't somebody just find out what that is and distribute it so that people can action replay or ftp it?

You might want to try the XBMP 2.4 It works great for playing any type of media

it might but i dont use linux so i cant swear on it
but you COULD always reflash the bios and youll be ok

No, Cromwell won't run ANYTHING that isn't Linux-based.

No, it doesn't put any files on the Xbox. It's a dongle. The software detects if it's present or now.

Does DVD-X work on every version of xbox?

I've tried to get R1 dvd's work with remote, but since I have 1.2 xbox people have told me that DVDX doesnt work with other than 1.1..

It will work with version 1.2+, but with the version of the dash that comes with the 1.2, as far as I know. There have been a few recent region-free patches for the newer MS Dash version recently. I want to say the guy working on them was name Sylver, but I could be wrong.

I can get moveis to play without any playback kit. These movies are my backup copies, and once I pop the movie in it auto plays them. I think it may have something to do with the menu on the dvd. I leave the menus out on the backups and they seem to work. But I havent tried to any of the controls (FF,REW,Stop,Pause,ect.) But they will play!!!!!

one of the best zoom features I've seen on any DVD player in my opinion.

the original xbox dvd playback kit has a zoom feature of any frame up to 16X or 32X, i forget.

Sounds like a kewl app. Gonna install it as soooooon as I get my xbox back.

Not neccessarily, all you need is modified bios; abiet modchip, soft mod, or game save exploit.

I have a modded xbox, and do I just burn this program to a dvd-r? I think I remember it saying that I can't do that, or does it have to be cd-rw? I don't have a new DVD-ROM installed, its the stock xbox drive.

I tried this player last night and it goes to play the dvd and flicks back the dashboard and loops if I have Auto DVD selected in the dashboard. could it have something to do with the widescreen option set on the MS dashboard? help

Hi !, my question is, does the EEPROM file be modified by using the DVDX2 ?, or what can modify this file?, i ask because i have a modded Xbox (using softmod, Phoenix Bios Loader) and now i want to go to LIVE without the fear for being banned. What should i do ?.

Thanks

Are there any plans to add dongle support to dvdx2.. I like the idea of not needing it, but I have a high def tv and I would like to have the progressive output and be able to control it with my all in one learning sony lcd remote.. If not, is there any way to make the normal dvd app ( the one that comes stock w/ xbox and is used when the mod is off ) play back in progressive?

I not quite sure I understand, but can non-burned DVD movies be played without the remote AND dongle? If it can, is there like forward/rewind/pause/slow/etc for use on the Xbox controller?

no mods hardware are needed to watch dvd.just get ltools install UDE and choice of dash,then install xbmp or xbmc

If i mod my xbox can i play movies on DVD with M$ remote and reciver w/ out any programs?
