Why won't my xbox play my dvd+r movie?

since when is there a LG dvd drive wise guy...?

 

Check www.xbox-scene.com, it's been awhile since i've been there but i'm 90% sure there is an LG drive. If there isn't there is another which i mixed up with that. However, there are 6 xbox drives [bold]NOT[/bold] 3.

 

+r's can be funny with video

save them for games

theses are the only ones I know of:

phillips only plays dvd+r, thomson plays most dvd+rs and some dvd-r
While Samsung plays DVD-r and DVD+r
Im able to watch all my backups.

 

haven't had a disk fail with my sammy yet....and if you can get a 616t that would be the way to go,but as far as I know they're discontinued. Don't stop looking though.

 

theres quite a few LG dvd drives out there including dual layer drives dont make comments when you dont know what your talkin bout

 

i'm not sure about samsung and thompson, but my original philips drive takes dvd+r, dvd-r and cd-rw. It don't do cd-r's though...

 

there are LG dvd drives, but not for xbox, boy!

 

my thompson drive plays nything i throw at it, with dvd+r's i go to media centre\my videos\play dvd (as opposed 2 selecting play dvd from the main menu)i use dvd shrink n nero

 

Jimbo420, thank you for the link. Just wanted all to know I have ALL XBOX parts available instock and ready to ship. So if your modchip install goes bad you can get a replacement motherboard from us or if you just want a custom case you can get those too! http://www.fixmyxbox.com

 

Heres a pix of the LG Drive found in XBOX's

 

No prob. Hey fixmyxbox, I put a samsung drive in and it sits a little far back. I want to modify a DVD tray cover with a couple of spacers so it sits further out. Do you happen to have any of the DVD bay covers, the one that says xbox on it? Not the tray the drive sits on, but the cover on the tray itself. I guess you would call it the DVD door!

 

LG's are in the newer 1.6's from what i heard

 

j420...I beleive your looking for the DVD Drive Bezel. Check the website http://www.fixmyxbox.com and make sure thats what your looking for!

 

That would be it! I didn't know what it was called, so I didn't know what to look for. Thanks.

 

I just got an Xbox and it plays all my DVD+ and - copies.

 

Can the xbox play dvd's that are not direct copies of commercial DVD's? I have *.avi files that I made into a DVD with Sonic MyDVD. The xbox is not modded and it has the Samsung drive. I burned it to a Taiyo Yuden DVD+R that came with my drive. Is that the problem, or is there some special thing I need to do to play original DVD's?

Thanks,
Greg

 

There is a Samsung drive that looks slightly different, however the model number is still SDG-605
the re designed drives function pretty much same as the originals, I havent found any differences.
So I would "officially" say there are 4 drives.

 

To say the philips drive only plays dvd+r is false and a myth. its like saying the samsung only plays dvd-r
Like I have said, and quadratic and dynatyxx
it depends on other variables
ie, media, burner,(and firnware) and xbox drive.
HOWEVER I have found that ritek g05 seem to work all the time,...........(except burned with a pioneer 109)
on all drives
those are dvd-r
youre going to have problems trying to make media work that isnt dvd, the xbox was designed to play dvd media. But ifd you want to play other typoes, you need XBMC (or in some cases XBMP)
it helps to make it xiso to read the media too.
You can use qwix as it doesnt look for a default.xbe. It will still create the xiso for you.
The hitachi / LG drive started appearing around september 2004.
they play pretty much like a thompson, but the build is better.

 

LG/Hitachi drive for the xbox....the tray looks alot like the thompson....you will have to look at the sticker on the top to tell for sure.
