Sounds cool is it a split file system like Audio/Data cd's? maby?
Some one who knows more should look in to this.

Technically would work but you would really have to shrink the DVD down a lot.


How it would work, atleast my thinking.

DVD - Movie Part

Folders:  AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS :  VIDEO_TS hold the movie while AUDIO_TS is usually empty.

Game - Just add the content of the game to the disc after you have created the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS and put the movie (.vob and others) into the VIDEO_TS.


Burn as a UDF and give it a shot.  Would confuse the crap out of the XBOX though, AUTORUN GAME or AUTORUN MOVIE - beats me.

Give it a shot, sounds kinda cool.

The thing is, Hulk disc 2 is actually a genuine "Xbox Original Game Disc" - which appears as a DVD Movie to anything but an Xbox DVD drive (try any original disc - it looks like a DVD movie to a PC DVD Drive, with 11MB of video files, and no game information). So the disc format is almost like 2 separate, unique sessions, one side being the movie, the other being the game (which regular drives cannot see).

We can't recreate this format.... M$ has basically corrupted a standard format agreed upon by the DVD drive manufacturers to create their own version.

Simply combining the movie and game stuff in "one session" is simple enough, but the Xbox dashboard will probably choose the movie over the game material, as will most dashboards (I forget how I handle this in MXM - probably default.xbe is found first, but I'm not sure - turn off autoload and you could get it to work as you like).

CODE
launch(default.xbe, "\\Device\\Cdrom0")
for games
and
CODE
StartDVDPlayer()
for videos

then even if it has both video and program on it will launch the one you want


if you use dvd2x and evox have two seperate launch items, one for the movie which will be the normal launch dvd and just a simple load D:default.xbe which would launch games


You could take it even further and hack your bios to not launch D:\default.xbe on startup
