yes , you need the DVD remote to watch DVDmovies on xbox. (it install the drivers , so without the remote it's impossible to watch DVDmovies).

We might have a software solution for this problem soon , but for now you still need the remote.

*MIGHT*

I wouldnt wait,I dont think you will ever see this solution.If you have enough money to buy a mod chip just buy the remote.Buy a used one for $20 if $30 is too much.

Yeah, in case some programmer out there is wondering about working on this - DON'T.  It's not worth the time and effort (and me waiting) for a solution that can be accomplished easily.

I'd say the number one solution for xbox programmers is to make a program that browses divx files on a disc, and the program would be stored on the hard drive.  That's #1 on my wishlist.  Could be cause I have a LOT of movies on disc...

Is it true that I have to buy the remote controller and the IR receiver to watch my DVD movies? mad.gif
