Dvd Playback
« on: December 10, 2006, 09:49:00 AM »

All,

I have a MS28 (stock firmware) and have been watching a few dvds lately, we have some promo stuff from work thats 'homemade' (no it isnt porn tongue.gif) and this all works fine and plays without issue, but ive been trying to watch some movie DVD's and i get issues,

They are all R2 DVD's so they match my system, the trouble is, they play fine for about the first hourish maybe a lil more, then they just freeze and the box says 'trying to read data' or something along those lines. Trouble is, it doesnt actual read the data it just sits there, exit out and try again, same thing. I have checked the disks and they are clean without scratches and work ok in other DVD players.

Any idea guys ? dont really wanna send it back because of this. Games play fine without issue

Well, 360s are more sensitive to scratches than other dvd players. Some of my scratched dvds play find in my xbox1, and both dvd players, but not in 360.

So unless you have some very small scratches that you missed, then i don't know i'm afraid.

it might be that then, would explain why the works dvds played fine as they were brand new disks straight from the burner (oh the joys of watching sales fiqures on my x360 lol)

Haha yeah tongue.gif

Well, if you want to attempt to solve the problem, you could try backing them up using your pc. This would only work if your pc reads them fine, and you have a dvd writer/reader. I've had to resort to this for 2 dvds.
