i wanted to copy my dvd movies to my hard drive so i can have the library on the xbox. that way i can just carry my box around and always have my movies on there. i did this with dvd2xbox and they copy fine, but what is the best way / program to play these dvd files? when i click the white button and hit play on XBMC it plays the movies weird, rushes through some of the title screens, it just acts weird. what is the best way to rip a dvd onto the drive, then watch it?
also does anyone have simple instructions on ripping a dvd then being able to burn it to a disc. most movies are originally on a dual layer (which is bigger than 4.7 gigs), but how do you get them compressed or whatever to fit on a regular dvd-r?
thanks

Most dvds are on a dvd 9 and what you buy are dvd 5s so what you need is a progam like dvd shrink. As far as putting them on your Xbox it is best to convert them to divx that way it will be an .avi file and it will only be about 700MB and take up less room on your hard drive. hope this helps.

one more question.
every once in a while when im backing up one of my xbox games, i run into one that has too many sectors. as far as the space (gigabytes) its fine, but say halo2 has like 4.4 gigs and my disc is 4.7 (this is just a though up example, probably not accurate) itll say image files sectors exceeds disc or something along those lines.
how can i fix this...just delete the updatdash.xbe, and downloader.xbe, etc...?
thanks

you can find sites that have a list of files that you can delete to make it fit. Just so you know standard dvds that you buy say 4.7 but they are only 4.3 because I believe that they on a different size scale like instead of a GB being what we know as 1024MB I believe in japan or something a GB is less and that is how they rate dvds. but there are some file in every game you can delete to make it fit.
