Xbox 360 playing dvd's

Bwah?

Hi all once again I require knowledge!

Run-down: I OWN Die hard, live free or.... Anyways I was always curious about burning/ripping dvd's so I decided to give it a try. First I used dvd shrink to "rip" it onto my HDD, followed by the "backup option"- "burn using nero." The DVD+R burned successfully according to dvd shirnk. I put the freshly burned DVD into my Laptop cd tray- VLC thenpopped up and played it.

After my successful test on the laptop I turned on my 360 and put the burnt DVD in. The console loads up as usual- but instead of playing the movie I get a white screen with the xbox logo.

Is this some anti-piracy installment? If this is the case I understand and wont fight it but, I know several people who can do this successfully. Did I overlook a burning method or small encoding? Thanks for the help guys.

My Xbox can play DVD-Rs, so I'm not sure why yours doesn't.

Have you tried running the real DVD in the 360? I know my stupid thing won't play any DVD, as I'm running it through HDMI->DVI and it complains of the lack of secure HDCP connection.

I don't think the 360 can play DVD+R's, only DVD-R's

Could be completely full of shit though. Try a different kind of disc?

Sounds like an issue with the 360. I can't count the number of times i've gotten that white screen while trying to play a game on my 360.

The real thing works on my 360- I'm wondering if it's because I have a theatrical and unrated version on the disc. I'd hate to try another movie on a new blank disc, considering I only have about 10 left.
