vcd help for evox.ini

[peachymojo]

is it possible to add a line to the evox.ini file so that i can auto play vcd or add it to the evox dashboard menu please
and if so can someone perhaps tell me where and what to type in it
thanx

[Quall999]

Unforunately no. Besides, the xbox can't play vcd's anyways.

[peachymojo]

mine can!
i put vcd in tray
i go into xbox media player i have 2.4
choose my videos
then i choose either
cd/dvd in xbox(udf)
or
cd/dvd in xbox (iso9660)
either one it don't matter
then MPEG2
then i click on avseq01.mpg
or whatever it's called
it plays SVCD aswell

[TylerDurden]

Yeah I kinda thought that would work myself. But since I have a freakin Tompson drive I cant read anything but DVD based media.




Tyler!

[peachymojo]

oh yeah i forgot about the drives i have two xbox one with philips the other with samsung and i always use a brand called imation for cdr they work all the time and they are very cheap

[AXmichigan]

yea some drives can play it
but most cant
for movies that are not dvds
its easiest to upload it and play it on xbmp

[hellspawn983]

peachy, you have one of those magical xbox drives that can read cd-r disks, dont you?lol
my friends-uncles-brothers-bestfriends-bartenders-former roommate had one of those, too.

[peachymojo]

lol nah seriously everyone i know can play them with the new media software i dont know anyone here with a tompson drive
unless they are quite old
i've had one for my daughter since xmas 2002 and i bought myself one december just gone first 1 had philips drive and mine has a samsung drive as for luck nah
not all media worked in the one we've had for a year like i said i use imation cd-r and they work 100%
the only thing my samsung can't read is cdrw's!

[peachymojo]

oh hellspawn forgot to ask did i detect a bit of jelousy lol :D

[hellspawn983]

youre saying that yours CAN read cd-r, but thay CAN'T read
cd-rw? are you sure dude? mine is just the opposite..

[peachymojo]

i aint gonna make it up why would i ask to put something in my evox.ini so they can auto boot?
you have a samsung drive and your seriously saying it cannot read cdr because i've not come across that
even my philips one can read some

[hellspawn983]

ok dude i believe you , and ya you DEFINITELY detect some jeolosy there.

[hellspawn983]

oh and yes im sure it doesnt play cd-r. maybe i should get some of those imation kind....(quickly runs to the car)

[peachymojo]

hellspawn i'm not getting into a stupid thing about what i know my TWO xboxs can do bloke so just drop it i was asking help from someone who could advice if you cant advice why bother to answer

[squallseifer]

hold up a second
i can testify that my xbox can read cd-r as well as cd-rw
i also have a PAL xbox, im guessing peachy has a PAL too

[peachymojo]

yeah i'm in the uk i have pal too everyone i know with the latest media on their xbox can play vcd and svcd and most cdr work all cdr work in my samsung drive (all i've tried anyway) and i had to experiment with the philips one

[peachymojo]

oh yeah hellspawn i did forget to mention the last time i checked i wasn't a dude lol :D

[djgarf]

my xbox reads cdr and i have a samsung drive

[hellspawn983]

oh... maybe thats why... i have a NTSC xbox.. i live in the usa actually, i just got back from maryland
:D

[peachymojo]

it depends what drive you have in your xbox my bro had a thompson (the tray has an arch shape when you open it) it Doesn't play any cdr my daughter has a philips (the tray has a key hole shape) it plays most cdr i put in and i have a samsung (the tray has two holes one either side of the shape) it plays all the cdr i put in
anyway iv'e read threads about this on here and even rms2001 has said this

[Quall999]

yah, region has nothing to do with it. It depends on your dvd-drive. I have a crappy thompson and xbmp plays vcd's only off of cd-rw's and dvd media.

Just so you all know, the actual vcd .dat file is basically a renamed mpeg. So, if you copied it to xbmp and just change the file extension, it will play. This is for those that can't read cd-rs. Of coarse in order to get it on your xbox though, you'd have to send it through a pc connection.

[hellspawn983]

ya i knewe that about the vcd.dat and everything. i have a crappy
thompson (thx for ur descriptions)
