Exclamation dvd movie questions

i travel a lot with work and decided to mod my xbox so i could just carry that with me where i go instead of lugging around a million games and dvds.

I am running unleash x as my dash and have all my games burned to my harddrive. now as i am starting to try to burn dvds tol the hard drive and watch them I cannot figure out how to do it! I can burn the dvd using dvd2xbox and that cuts the movie into a bout a million files and then I thought i could use XBMC to watch them, but when I stack the files I get about seven files. and the couple that are over a gig are all pixilated when I try to pay them and the ticker in the tright hand corner says its only five mins long.

Wheat programs do i have to use to burn a dvd movie to the hdd and then watch it without the disk?

thanks

Not sure if this would work but maybe try using the file explorer to copy the movie to your hdd.

Do you mean you are watching on an hd tv and you have to stretch the images to fit? Also, what are playing the dvds on?

Re: dvd movie questions

if the black boxes are on the bottom its probally normal, but if they're on the sides you need to change the resolution on the tv or the dvd player
