K, thx. thats what ive been doing, but, just wondering if its possible. If they make new version that can, pm me or somethin . By the way, the description of the dvdx download says that u can play off hd  . l8er |
What it actually said was that DVDX2 could be played off the hard drive.
Not the videos themselves.

i'm currently using xbmc to play dvds i rip into *.iso files on my PC. i use dvdshrink to rip into the isos. then access from xbmc using smb share on the PC. this works great for most movies. however, i've had a couple that xbmc wouldn't play.
the thing that really bothers me about using xbmc is that it doesn't support the dvd menus (unless i'm doing something wrong). for movies, this is no problem, but most of the dvds i rent are tv-show compilations...so menu support would be a big plus (it really sux having to fforward through episodes to get to the one i want to see).
it would be really cool if dvdx2 lended it's menu-supporting code to xbmc OR if dvdx2 allowed playback of dvd stored on the hdd. smb share support in dvdx2 would be ultra-sweet.

nevermind, i think dvdx2 is kinda like some sort of msdash hack, so let's just pray xbmc team figures out how to add dvd menu support to mplayer

So there's no way to play a DVD off the hard drive? I tried using XBMC to play the files but it just played the video, no audio, and the movie is divided into a bunch of segments. <

how many dvds did you try with xbmc? just asking cause i've never had audio problems like you're having (from xbox hdd). maybe it's a settings thing?
if you're ripping directly to the xbox hdd using dvd2xbox, you can just use the stacking thing mentioned above
oops, that was another thread...goto into the video_ts folder. on the left, click on stack or something like that...i read that in another thread earlier tonight...

If you're wondering a menus, subtitles, chapter stops, etc., for DVDs on your HDD, it can't be done. XBMC doesn't support displaying the menus, and DVDX2 can't play movies from the HDD. There was a thread here earlier where someone was offering ten bucks to the first person to figure it out, and it kinda petered out without anyone having a good answer. <

Why don't the DVDX2 people and the XBMC people combine their efforts to make one badass application? <

If you want DVD Menu support for HD Movies, then Xine(under linux) may be an option. I'm not sure though. I don't think XBMC will have menu support before mplayer has it though. <

probably because the primary "Dvdx2 people" are Ravisent and MS - code of which is copyrighted and confidential, while XBMC is free and legal ?

On that note, since mplayer is compiled as a seperate DLL to the most of XBMC, it may even be possible to replace it with a Xine module. The DLL is <I_think>I believe the standard windows variety, and XBMC uses wine(www.winehq.com) code to load it</I_think> <

Just to clarify, are you saying that you have a DVD on a shared hard drive, and you couldn't play it on the XBOX? I played one last night, and it wasn't a problem. I didn't try subtitles, etc. I have XBMC set to use DVDX2 for DVDs (in the xml setup file). I went to My Videos (which has the hd dvds), then to that subdirectory, then I chose 'Play DVD.'
