No. As far as I don't have a new XML parser leave no empty dumpdir between used once. Therefore I moved f:games to 3

oh so i can't leave blank dir between each other. i think i got ya.

Feature Request/Suggestion:
DVD-ripper, one click DVD-Transcoder (DVD to Harddrive in DivX/XviD), devs should probebely should check out ReJig. ReJig (link)  is a Windows GUI based MPEG-2 transcoding utility using compressed domain transcoding (as used in other one click tools). It is pretty fast and it's the first open source implementation available on the Windows platform, (and it is coded in C++).

General Suggestion:
Now that DVD2XBOX is more mature how about moving it to a open source project on sourceForge?

sorry incorrect link that should Monkeys Audio. i had a bit of a look, shouldn't be too difficult use it on the xbox and along with mp3 and ogg it's a good format the only difference is that it's of course lossless!

yo -- i just modded my buddy's xbox and he's pretty computer illiterate...  dvd2xbox is by far the easiest way for him to rip his games to his HD...  he can now rip and rip all day, but eventually he'll run out of disc space.  teaching him boxplorer is not working.  i was wondering if there could be a DELETE feature implimented, that would search f:games, or whatever directory, for default.xbe files, then give the option to delete whatever game he wanted.  this feature would also include the game sizes.

so it would be a list of all the games on f drive plus their sizes, and a quick delete function...  obviously there would be an "are u sure" type of warning before the file is deleted.

the program is already sort of on that track, since it shows the size of the dvd and the available space on each drive.  but if the space available is not enough, then the user has to get out of the program and go to another for deletion and then go back to dvd2xbox for ripping.  just a suggestion, but i think it will help make this program complete.  great program so far!

Thats not true.
Start dvd2xbox, press B, select the drive you want to explore, navigate to the folder you would like to delete and press X.
The only thing what's missing is the display of the folder size.

sorry WiSo, i totally didn't see that option there...  but it would be nice to see the size of the games there, make the decision of which games to delete a lot easier.

thanx for listening and considering the suggestion!

Wiso: I have not read this thread, and don't feel like it (free will is sooo grand), so anyhow I'm sure you know my suggestion.

Vob volume control


DVD 2 AVI or MPEG 2 ripping.


Of course I'll prolly have a DVD Burner before these features are ever "if ever" added in, but regardless, I'm sure people would love it!

copy and paste error in dvd2xbox source. fixed in the next release.

I agree with the suggestion that jigga3stix made.  To me, the only things that DVD2Xbox are missing: 1.  An easy way to delete games/videos/cds without using the HDD browser.  Something similar to Px HDD Loader which shows a list of games on HDD, and you just press a button to delete.  Listing the disk usage of each game/video/cd would also be ideal.  This would make it very easy for people who are 'computer illiterate' to manage their games etc. 2.  One-click DVD rip and encode to DivX.  However, I realise this is a very big task, and according to many people it is not possible on the Xbox.

Yup that would be Awsome to have the gamelist you downloaded into your F/E/G drives and showup in a list you can select to delete or launch (simliar to pxloader)

The only thing i would want for backing up games is the option to exclude the XDemos Folder if it's possible? some of those damn folders hold alot of garbage and old demos my friends or i never ever play, i know i can ftp to the game folder and delete it that way, but excluding the XDemo folder during the ripping process on some backups would really cut down on ripping time, once again thanks for a great program

[WiSo]

I just opened a project page on http://sourceforge.n...jects/dvd2xbox/. It would be easier for me if you could post your feature request there.  Please provide as much information as possible (source code if available, which directories/files to exclude - demo or dashupdate request - etc).

That's a very elitist view, and one which I definitely don't agree with.  You seem to forget that the Xbox is a gaming console, and not everybody wants a modded Xbox for Linux, Media Player, or whatever.  A lot of people simply want a modded Xbox with a larger HDD so they can store all their games on their HDD and play them conveniently.  I see no reason why these people should be considered 'not good enough' to own a modded Xbox.

The ability to easily manage games on the HDD would be a great feature, and one of the few features that I believe DVD2Xbox is missing.

I never said that anyone was 'not good enough' to own a modded Xbox.

But,if one does not even understand basic file management, then they should not be running around making backups of Xbox games.
The more you understand about something the more you can enjoy it.

How much easier than deleting the folder named the name of the game?

I just want to fly my own jet plane to the mall, why dont they make them with just one button and a steering wheel?


Well, I might be just a tad bitter because I modded a few Xboxes for "computer illiterates".
I keep getting calls about something or other  that they screwed up. One guy even started randomly deleting files off his C: drive because he thought it would fix a problem he was having with a backup!

- DVD2XBOX is a very nice program and I welcome any new features that may come to be.

I say be thankfull for what you have, remember when the only way to back up a game was to ftp it from your D: drive to your PC, then ftp it back to your F: drive?!

That's exactly the reason why I think it would be a great feature!  I, too, have had several clients pester me to no end because they don't know how to accomplish even the most simple (to me) tasks.  What I'm arguing is that the more user-friendly programs like DVD2Xbox can become, the fewer of these calls we'll get  

I'm not suggesting this feature for my own use, as I'm fully capable of managing my files in several different ways.
