    DVD/ VCD Playback Questions

    Can I play DVDs without the DVD Movie Playback kit ?

    Writen March 14th 2002
    At present no, the xbox does not play DVD's straight out of the box. You need to buy the kit,
    at some point there maybe homebrew software made to overcome this.
    But for now dont hold your breath, just buy the kit.

    Update:

    You can now play DVD Films without the need of the DVD Movie Playback Kit, thanks to
    the X-ecuter team who released "DVD-X", DVD-X is a software application that can be used
    on the xbox to play dvd films. You will need a modded xbox to run this application, click on the link to purchase a modchip:

    What does the DVD Movie Playback kit include ?

    Writen March 14th 2002
    A remote control, and an infared receiver. The receiver is plugged into one of the Xbox
    controller ports..

    Is the Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit multiregional ?

    Not exactly - when you buy a UK DVD Movie Playback Kit & put the infared receaver into the
    UK Xbox controller port, the UK Xbox will ONLY ever play Region 2 titles as it places a
    Region 2 code onto the hard-drive...

    To my knowledge when you first ever use/ install a DVD Move Playback Kit the Region code
    is perminently locked onto the HD & cannot be taken off or altered by using another infared
    receaver ( ie a receaver from US )

    However - & i dont see why you would do this, you can buy a US DVD Movie Playback Kit &
    use that on a UK Xbox, this will allow you to run Region 1 DVD's. As i have said above to my
    knowledge you cannot swap the infared receavers from other country's to play
    different Region DVD's.

    Alternative solution - for those of you familar with the Region X (on the Playstation 2)
    there is a similar programme coming out for the Xbox sometime in the near future.

    probably, a cable or a solder got disconnected. If you have a solderless evox, you can try opening the xbox and checking its connection. Can you still play burned games fine? if so, this is probably the problem.


    PS- i didnt think we were alloud to talk about these things in here :?

    I think admins are not restricting what you talk about, you can talk about anything except racism, violence and simmilar things.
