My Xbox only seems to play +RW dvd movies that i have backed up. I have heard that some Xboxs support +Rs aswell. My question is: Is there any way i can make mine play both media types or even just +Rs? Thanks in advance :wink:
do you know which dvdrom you have in your xbox? you should be able to play -r (they burn faster) i've not come across only playing +rw and nothing else before and to check your backing up your dvd proper there is a good section of that on this forum it should help you
I have the same problem with mine. I am just trying to use my xbox as a dvd player, playing movies I have created. Maxell DVD +RWs work with it. Verbatim and Memorex DVD +Rs do not. I have burned the +R three ways. 1) direct copy of the +RW. 2) Original Files to +R and 3) Disc image from +RW to the +R. My xbox has the Samsung drive if the other thread is correct with the pictures.
My xbox will play both dvd-r and dvd+r movies and games unsure what make of drive is in it tho I Use datawrite +/- DaOsT
My XBOX has the samsung drive in it and can play +RW that i make using nero but dosen't recognise +R when using the same process. But my friend tried one of his backed up DVDs (+R) on my XBOX and it worked? what am i doing wrong??? Please help!
I can't play + or - R, haven't tried RW yet. Is getting a mod chip suppoe to help? as i haven't got one in yet. Not sure what rom I have got, how do you check?
Collie, read some guides or something. Yes you need to get chipped to read copied DVD stuff. I have an XboX v1.0 with the crappy Thompson drive. My one reads DVD-r and CDRW fine.
I have a V1.0 Xbox with a Thompson and it plays DVD+R & -R i havent tried RW though & b4 any1 asks it is UNchipped i think i just depends what speed the disc was burnt at
Lol ur probably right... I got a BTC dvd-+RW its pritty good and does dvd+R at 8x! The discs that work with my unchipped v1.0 box are vertabrian or whatever and (if it helps they are colored purple) i am gunna get it chipped l8er when that new cool smart xx is out
