is there a way to modify a ps2 or xbox so that it can play burned dvds? or is there a prog that i can use to burn the dvds so that it is viewable by the consoles?
I don't know what program you are using to burn, but I have no problems watching movies on my XBOX or PS2. I use Nero 6. Now when I used Roxio I had problems. If you don't have Nero then use ImgTool and ImgBurn to burn your movies. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/imgburn.cfm http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/imgtool_classic.cfm Directions: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/burn_dvd_folder_imgburn.cfm
What software are you using to burn the movie? I use a combonation of software. Most of the time I use AnyDVD and DVD Shrink. Sometimes you need programs such as VobBlanker or PgcEdit. Does your movie play on another DVD player?
i use nero 6 to burn and DVD Shrink to rip and sometimes DVD Fab but when i try 2 watch it on the xbox it says i need to put in an xbox game or dvd movie or audio cd
I will go ahead and admit that it has happened to me a couple of times too. Just cold boot, and if that doesn't work eject then replace it in the drive. I had two movies that did it to me. I ended up making new copies and it hasn't happened since. The two movies that were doing this were burned with Roxio Adabtec Software. I just know that you don't need a chip to watch the movies unless they are in a different region code.
one of my friends suggested that the reason the xbox can't read it is because i use the double layer burn option. could that be the cause?
That could very well be the case. I burned a DVD-9 one time and it wouldn't play. I guess the machine doesn't recognize it. Try the movie again burned to a DVD-5. Good luck
You may want to try a different brand of media too. Some players are picky about dvd-r media, i.e. hp will work, phillips won't that kinda thing is still an issue sometimes.
