dvd movie backup

[apock666]

hi just wondering about backing up dvd movies on the xbox used dvd2xbox once but the movie didnt play is there a program for backing up movies

There's 2 major problems to why you cant use your xbox to backup your movies.

1. Your xbox wont play DVD Movie files off the hdd. At least I dont think it will.

2. It cant get past the encryption most (99%) of all movies have on them.

The only way to play dvd's off the hdd is with an app called "Xbox Media Center". Unfortunately no menus are supported, just the vob files of a dvd (they are raising money to help the developers implement menus). Playing off of a disk is probably better.

Does dvd2xbox have a dvd decrypter?

if i put the dvd into the xbox can i play it through flashfxp without actully saving it to my computer because if i could then i could convert it to avi format etc.

ps my computer dosnt have a dvd drive thas why i need to do it this way

unless it has a dvd decrypter, which probably would not work through ftp, you will just get a big sound file with a blank screen.

Hey sory to bring back this old topic but my friend just backed up some dvds onto his hd and he said they are playing fine. he said he was using xbox media player or xbox media centre, anyway it was something along thouse lines. Do you no which one he would be using?

Xbox Media Player is what the xbmc crew used to work on before they created xbox media center (which was supposed to be better and look more like the WinXP-Media Center edition). XBMP was abandoned over a year ago.
In Short, use XBMC.
