for now i guess you can still rip the movie on the computer and then transfer either the .avi or .mpg files over to the xbox...but yeh a DVD Movie ripper would be awesome...

So how does the Xtoolbox works with ripping dvds and what else does it do ?

but why would you want to rip a DVD to your xbox HDD.

Sounds good to me, especially as the only DVD drive I have is in the Xbox (my 'box is more powerful than my PC, and I don't want to buy a new PC just yet).

I was thinking and came up with this , when you rip a dvd with the smartriper it creates a 6 gig *.vob file and if we could play .vob files in the xbox it would be faster cause there was no need to convert it to a divx file .
I know that 6 gigs is takes alot of space but with a big Hdd that wouldn't be a problem !

Does media player plays .vob files (I don't think so but..) ?

I hope someone likes my idea and creates DVD/HDD Ripper !
That would be sweet !

lates yall

yes it does and i play them alot!

IMHO thats insane, my HDD has 80 gig used up for M$ system stuff, Utils and games, so with VOb files 4-6 gig I could only fit at most 10 movies.

seems like a pointless app when the PC can offer unlimited storage and compress to Divx (1 gig = 40 movies).

Do what one of my friends done, ring a telephone installer and put Cat5 through your house (cost him $75USD), Then use relax for playing your movies. 120gig HDD does not go very far.

This is what I refering to as insane,

To have an app on the xbox that will Ripp & encode to DivX is interesting, especially if the encoding time is less than 5 hours,

WTF? you try and fit 40 movies into 1 GB using ANY compression method and see how watchable it stays

LOL

you must be infected with the ID-TEN-T Virus

sorry I'm just being an arse, read my post more carefully and you will realise I'm taking about a 120Gig HDD, less 80gig (games+mp3)
leaves 40 gig for movies, 1 gig divX movie = 40 movies.

ID-TEN-T = id10t
