Want A Hdd Dvd Player?
« Reply #30 on: March 21, 2004, 05:15:00 PM »
i would say that in a future release of xbmp or xbmc would be great if they implemented a way where u can play the FULL thing staright throu without having to play chapter to chapter which is wat i do most the time....and i definitely dont think its a waist of hdd space especially since ive got about 80gb left over right now and want to make use of it...

would be awsome to play it throu dvdx2 if u could select where u want to play from instead of it just waiting for a disc...

What is the news on this feature?  I'd love to see this feature implemented soon....is anyone actually working on it? If so, how long until we see it implemented?

Want A Hdd Dvd Player?

im looking out for this as well. when i hire a movie from the vid shop overnite, something else sometimes comes up. So i simply rip it to the box, watch it the next night then delete it (not worth hogging up 8gb with a movie i just watched). I also like to watch the special features afterwards, which can be hard when they have more than 1 documenty's in a set of vob files.

im not sure how hard it can be. they're able to parse the VIDEO_TS.IFO file of the dvd-rom, how hard can it be to enable the player to parse it off the hdd. PowerDVD and WinDVD both support playing dvd's off the hdd.

It be a wicked feature.

In current CVS of XBMC there is support for dvd playback from disk. select the VIDEO_TS1.IFO and go. No menu support as of yet however.

Ok.. just to test my suggestion.. of DVD2XBOX and XBOX MEDIA CENTER.

I just loaded dvd2xbox v0.5.5.  Put in Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Season Three - DISC ONE, which is over 7 gigabytes.  I pushed a to start the DVD copy process of DVD2XBOX, then picked the location to dump the DVD to (in my case F:\MOVIES, will be different for you, depending on the dump directories that you set up in DVD2XBOX), then I pressed START on my controller to start the DVD copy process.  It took about 45 Minutes to copy/decrypt the entire DVD to my xbox hard drive (yep all more then 7 gigabytes of it).  then I rebooted my xbox and loaded Xbox Media Center 2004-03-09,  browsed to the directory that I had just dumped to and started playing on of the VOB files.  The video looked perfect and played excellently.  Just sharing the information, try it for yourself... and post your results here, or if you need help setting up Xbox Media Center 2004-03-09 or DVD2XBOX... let me know....  I don't know where someone is coming up with 12 hours for something.. but anyway.. like I said, it only took 45 minutes to dump/decrypt a 7 GIG movie to my harddrive. That's as fast or faster then my pentium 4 2.4 gigahertz serial ata system.

alright guess what, my old p3 733 with 128mb rdram could decrypt a full dvd9 and dvd10 disc in under 15-20 minutes so 45 flat out sucks
my new pc can do it under that as the dvd drive is faster
and say i wanted to fit a dvd9 to dvd5, the whole process, rip to encode, takes under 1 hour and i dont lose any features
so i lose a little bit of the bitrate, big deal cuz it's impossible to tell the difference
they have high bitrates for no reason other than to make shit bigger pretty much

and about encoding and shit via xbox, ya know video editing really fragments drives fast. do you really want to reformat to get optimal performance?
but i guess if ya really wanted to work the crap outta the xbox, then encoding is for you

and he's not talking about 12 hours to just rip it, that's to encode it to divx after being ripped and yea itll take a lot longer than that on xbox
12 hours is for a movie around 90-110 minutes
not to mention with xbox, the dvd and hdd use same cable which doesn't help at all
sides, it'd take forever for someone to make one for xbox that has all features of pc tools and would have to do some serious optimizations to get it done under 12-14 hours
bottom line, pc ripping/encoding/transcoding is your best bet and fastest too

It could certainly be dumbed down enough from a users point of view making you loose a ton of flexibility since there is no generic 'good' quality equation for every movie nor every television.  From a coder/porter's point of view this project is the full nightmare.  I don't believe there are any open source all-in-one packages.  Gordian Knot is open source but it is a mixture of various components where GK serves as a glorified front-end.

If this is really important to you I'd look for a Linux version of a divx encoder and run it off one of the Xbox's linux distros.  The bottom line is that people have been asking for a year and no one has even remotely considered taking on this project.  I would also bet money that the people asking have very little experience with the DivX conversion process since most of the people who do are the ones telling people it's somewhere between infeesible and a waste of time.  This is not in any way a generic or simple process.

Would love a dvd player u can load dvd-s ripped to hdd, as for the quality loss i rather go with orginal dvd than converted into divx (or resized to dvd5-format).

C'mon u guys who developed the DVD-X player.. how hard can it be to insert some code to make it play from hdd..?

Or if thats not an option.. can someone please make a program to mount a dir as d: to fool the standard DVD-X?

It might depend on a lib or two I can't remember... LAME I think...
