DVD Movies ripped with DVD SHRINK will not play on X-Box ?

[Dawn]

I've ripped a load of my DVD collection to DVDR with DVD SHRINK Ver 3 (Beta) only to find that they don't play on the X-Box.

Any suggestions to correct this would be apreciated and also which is the best alternative software to use if the problem cannot be sorted ?

It has nothing to do with DVD Shrink.

Its the media or the burning software or burning settings

Using good media is the first step. I use Ritek media and it always works on x-box and playstation2.

I have made most of my DVD copies using DVD2One and I know they play well, but have not tried to play the DVDs that I made with shrink on my x-box or play station, so I really don't know if that is a factor.

Please list your:

1. burner
2. firmware version
3. Media used and speed rating

thnx

Why would anyone want to play a DVD on the X-Box when real DVD players can be had for as low as $40 (mintek 1600 for example). ?

Same (various brands of media play fine on X-BOX with DVD rips made with DVD2ONE and PINNACLE IC7 ??

I'm using a TOSHIBA wrter (2x)

Because that might be all they have. they might not want to clutter their entertainment center with another item.

I've backed up lots of movies with DVDShrink, and they al play in the XBOX just fine. It's probably the media or the way it was burned. I know that Nero has a special option just for XBOX compatibility.

I think it's because i'm using nero express and not the full programme as this doesn't have the x-box option.

Dawn, just curious. Are you a woman? Just wondering cause we don't get too many females in these parts.

Use Nero and use the UDF option for Xbox.

Hi all.

Dawn, here is a user-friendly Nero guide:

It was made with Nero 5 but the principle is the same if you use Nero 6.
Remember to check the "XBox" compatibility option.
