Okay... I know ppl have talked about this all, but I have tried everything. I can make DVD's that play on my Sharp (damn old) standalone player, but nothing will work in my XBox. I know it is not the media because I am able to use the exact same DVD-RW for game backups. I have tried burning with Nero, PrimoDVD, Gear and DVD Decrypter. I am fairly confident that I am screwing up on some settings although I am almost sure I've tried every different setting. I do get the DVD to load on the XBox, but it just stays at a blank black screen. If anyone else has had this problem and has found a cure, please let me know. The Xbox is modded and the pots have not been tweaked. Thanks.

Apologies if I have misunderstood your post but my initial thoughts ...
'I know it is not the media because I am able to use the exact same DVD-RW for game backups. I have tried burning with Nero, PrimoDVD, Gear and DVD Decrypter.'
What do you mean by this ? - How can you be sure that it is not your media when you have never got it to work ? - If you mean that it works on DVD-RW but not on DVD-R then these are two different types of media ?
I haven't tried it yet (I'm modding my xbox soon) but from the research I've done - RecordNowMax seems to produce the most compatible ISO burns for the Xbox. The most reliable media 'seems' to be Ritek G03 (DARK purple dye) - such as Traxdata. -
it is actually the media, for my game backups i can use the cheepest of media and have no problems, if i then burn a dvd movie onto those cheep disks they wont play on the xbox, use higher grade media for ur movies,, say datasafe gen4, i have had no probs with them.

I'm sorry for the confusion. I meant that I have burnt DVD-RW backups of GAMES that have worked. But the DVD-RW (same disc) DVD backups will not work. The screen just stays black.

like i said , while games will work on some dvd blanks, movies WONT.
try a diff brand, "better quality" -
Try Traxdata (imo the most reliable disk out there..) and RecordnowMax to burn.
-
Try burning it with Nero and check the "Xbox compatability" checkbox (can't remember exactly what it's called). Something to do with the UDF version used I think...

Hi,
Just my 2 pence worth but I had similar problems. I dont know how your creating your backups (movies) but I use Maestro the disk loads but just sits there at a blank screen.
~THEN I found that for some reason, Only some DVD players needed me to :
In Maestro, Select the project in the white box to the left where it says movie1 and then you get a connections dialog. There should be a row saying "first play" then to the right of it, right click and select movie1 then chapter 1
Then it worked.
Hope this helped
