How To: Duplicate A DVD That Will Play On Your Xbox

the.fatman.cometh

Ok, first things first, I have tested this method on my regular xbox.
A friend of mine tried it with his 360, and said he had no problems.

If you own or have owned an xbox, you know by now that they don't like burnt movies. They'll play the store bought/ rented ones no problem, but what if you have backed up your videos, or made your own?
Before, you were pretty much S.O.L..
That's where this guide comes in. It's very simple, but if anyone has any questions, or you're really stoned and forgot to do something, lol, just hit me up with a PM. Here we go.

Tools You Will Need:
1. DVD Decrypter (software)
2. Daemon Tools (software)
3. DVD2ONE (software)
4. Nero 6 (software) or above

Before continuing, make sure all needed software is installed.
These steps assume that all software is installed.

Step One:
Rip the DVD in ISO mode with DVD Decrypter to your HDD. (mode=ISO-read)

Step Two:
Right-click Daemon Tools icon on your desktop
Goto:
virtual CD/DVD Rom>Device -0- (k) no media>Mount Image - ISO file

Step Three:
Make a main folder (name it the title of your movie) on your desktop.
Go in that folder and make two sub-folders in it -->Video_TS & Audio_TS

Step Four:
Open DVD2ONE.
Choose movie only or entire disc.
Source is the drive you mounted in step two (Video_TS)
Destination is the Video_TS folder you created in step three
Start

Step Five:
Daemon Tools - unmount the drive you made in step two, after the job is finished.
You can now also delete the ISO file itself to save disc space on your HDD.

Step Six:
Open Nero
Close the wizard
New Compilation DVD
Left Column (DVDROM/UDF/ISO)
NO MULTISESSION
UHF check Force DVD compatibility (this step is essential for the disc playing on your xbox)
Label (NAME OF MOVIE) ALL CAPITAL LETTERS
Click New
Drag over the Video_TS Folder and the Audio_TS folder you made into Nero
BURN

There you go, it seems like a lot of steps, but after you do it once or twice, you'll see that it's no big deal.
Also, depending on the versions of DVD2ONE or Nero that you use, the options may look a little different than what I have listed, but the steps are the same.


Now I have to go hit my bong.

Peace,
theFATMAN
