Or you can use dvd2xbox to rip the DVD to the HDD and then (with multi-stacking turned on) watch them in XBMP. Note: a DVD is roughly 9gb.

to get it to play dvds through dvdx rather than msdash you have to change the evox.ini in the top few lines so it says dvdplayer=e:appsdvdxdefault.xbe or something like that. follow the example of the audio player which points to msdash.

cool thanks
but i still want to fix this so i know that i can watch dvds on my monitor when i get my vga box for my xbox
because i have heard that dvd2x doesnt work on a monitor for some reason

is dvdx2 a progressive player?

cheers majin buu

i saw this but didnt want to mess with it i guess this answered my problem
i thought that xbmp had their own dvd decoder thing whatever rather than using the dashboard or dvdx2

thanks

XBMP can only play non-encrypted VOB files. Which means almost all retail DVDs are out of the question, you'll have to use MS Dash or DVDx2 for those.

Yes....I ripped the dvd using dvddecrypter and burnt it with InstantCopy but it still goes to the evo dash...I will test it later with autoplay off and do some searching

So Torro where you successful in getting a non-retail dvd to play in xbmp and how did you do it. I am figuring that instead of setting the xml file to look for dvd2 ill just leave it blank or something.... but any advice is helpful
