ISO9960 is the format most cd's are written in.
You should already have a share set up in your config.xml file. So all you should have to do is select the option in xbmp to browse the cd.

I think I found it in the manual...
What is DVD (UDF) ??

This should be a good place to start:
The Complete Guide To Producing , Extracting, And ...
You will learn a lot, answer all your questions and probably save yourself hours of agonizing mental pain.
In short.
ISO 9660 file format:
Is only readable by a few Xbox DVD drives.
Your Lucky if it works for you.
Excluding CDDA, audio cd's, the Xbox DVDROM was not designed to read ISO9660 disks.
Search the forums you will see many posts on this.
UDF file format:
Closest format a PC can burn to the Xbox DVD file format standard.
So I really recommend you burn your Xbox media in UDF format.
HSDEMONZ (above) tutorial explains why this is important.
Why not just any UDF data disk format?
Even though an Xbox will read a generically written DVD or CDR in UDF format
this can lead to jumpy video playback, long grinding seek times
or just the flat dirty disk error which means the xbox cant read the media
and then you have another high tech coaster for your coffee table.
The Xbox has its own UDF standard.
There are few apps Here
That can create an Xbox iso perfect image. (xISO)
This increases the chances of reading data from the media and improves performance.
The UDF File format used to burn Xbox media is not natively readable
by a windows based PC even though a PC can create it.
(Just like creating a linux boot disk)
So you will need another app to look at the data on the disk in a PC after burning
if you have a need.
No need to worry about all that tho...
Just use SimpleXISO or one of the other apps to create an xISO image out of the data you
want the Xbox to read and then burn the ISO to disk without worrying about recording options.
Reading ISO9660 and UDF Media are default options in XBMP, unless they have been removed.
Not all AVI's are readable by XBMP and compatibilty really varies from release to release.
AVI's over 2 gigs burned in UDF format are not playable.
