Vcd/svcd Support?
« on: January 14, 2003, 11:45:00 PM »

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

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?

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 sad.gif But I play them in the DVD player that supports them and leave the Xbox for the AVI's no more converting smile.gif.

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

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?

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...
