you could mount the dvd image on your pc using alcohol 120% or daemon tools, etc. and then share the mounted drive over smb or relax.

i know that this might almost be like swearing in the church, but i have a long time had a gentoo linux computer (not xbox) as my media machine. here i used xine player to play dvd from the hd with full menu support, highlighting plus more.

can we somehow use xine to add this functionality until mplayer makes it work? in xine i just made a sym link from the directory where i stored the dvd files to for instance /home/username/dvd and then i edited the settings in xine to look for dvd files here. so i just updated the symlink, then i run "xine dvd://" and away we go.

for xvid, divx, ogg etc mplayer rules as far as i know, xine works but not as smooth.

i am considering using somekind of a linux install on the xbox in adition to the xbmc/xbmp so i can use xine, but i don't know yet just where to start... (liking the gentoox project though).

possible yes but not a small task as has to port entire xine to xbox and a new core (dll) for xbmc, see sf.net xbmc rfe here(link)

are you a skilled c/c++ programmer yourself?, because you have to be to port xine's source code to xbox/xbmc [Image: wink.gif]

nope, sorry. thats just the problem. i need to rely on other experts. probably just like youreself.

nope, i'm not a programmer/coder myself either, but i do know that posting xine will be no sunday picknic, even for a skilled developer
