VCD playback is only possible through use of "Homebrew" software (software made by end-users not licensed by Microsoft)run on the xbox. For you to be able to run this software you must first have a mod chip installed on your xbox (thus voiding your warranty). In short, no, the xbox does not play VCD or SVCD.

You can't play (S)VCD format unless you have a MOD-Chip that will void your warranty. However the Xbox gaming system can play normal DVD's so it's your way to find out what formats the Xbox does support.

yes dumbass, pay attention.
if u want it to play backed up games and vcds/svcds go and get a mod chip installed... but do it at your own risk, because if your xbox screws up afterwards you have to pay for it cos microsoft dont want you to install chips in it, so they wont help you if u fux it up.

Well not chipped, but it just needs to support em. Gimme a sec and I'll check out the MS site....

ah thanks tim, but does that mean u need a chipped xbox then?
and if u need a boot disk anyone know where you can get one?

Where do you get a boot disk? can you download the info to put on a boot disk ?

yeah if ya got a boot disk as well it should work m8 :D

Don't a boot disk work ?

yeah but u need ya ps2 chipped 2 play vcd's as they dun play em :(

Does that mean i can make a movie that will work on a DVD Player / Playstation 2, from a CD-RW Drive with a CD-R ?

Um, I assume the xbox dvd player will accept VCD's (Video-CD's). You can't write it as a file, you need to write is as a proper video disc, or svcd. Get something like Nero Burning ROM and say create new VCD.

That should work (does on home cinema dvd players) but I don't know what the xbox supports...
