Title: Copied Hd Dvd Movies

You are not going to be able to fit a ripped HD DVD on a dual layer disc.  HD DVDs are 15GB-30GB in size.

the HD DVD drive can only play original HD DVD discs.

it is quite possible to fit a HD DVD on a standard DVD (minus the menus, and more than likely use 2 discs per movie)

there is currently no hacked firmware to allow it to do so and i dont think there ever will be.

the 360 has mediaflags embedded in every game, video, XBLA and whatever else, which tells the console what media the content can be played off. i beleive the media fflags are not simple definitions like DVD,HDD, or USB, but device locations like USB1, SATA0 and so on.

so games are set to only boot using the built in DVD drive connected to the DVD SATA port
