    Welcome to aD!
    Yes burned DVD's should play on your xbox. You just may have to experiment to see which ones/brands it likes. If you have a burner that spports booktyping I would suggest doing this w/ +r media. That will make the disc appear to be a dvd-rom which is highly compatable w/ most players.
    Two other things that may help: make sure your firmware is up to date on your burner and you are not burning at max speed.

    I have a Lite On 1693S. I'm not sure if that supports book typing or not. I hear Verbatim's are good, so I might give those a shot. Thanks for the tips!
