Ok so I have some DVDs I have burnt containing...... Family photos....

Anyhow I would love to watch more family photos and I have a DVD drive that burns + or - dvds.... All I need to know is what does the 360 play? And what is the more widely used one? (I heard it was +)

Any help is appreciated :)

Well... its rumored that there is 3-4 different DVD Drives out there, and im not even sure if certain ones play what. I would say try + first... if it works stay with it, if not... try -. But with therebeing a couple different drives in play one could play one, the other could play something different, but + is the more widely used. Especially if you look at the original Xbox.

right now it doesnt..if you pop it it will read mixed media disk and doesnt matter if its + or -,but HD DVD drive owners can expect an update that will let it read divx movies and photo cds

Well one of my "family photo" disks played perfectly.... Even with 41% compression, it played it as - I believe so I will just use those I guess....

Well I don't have a *BEEP* clue what any of this + or - jazz is, but I burned some... pictures... onto a regular CD-R and I can view the... pictures... on my 360. So uh... yeah!

theres basically 2 different DVD Formats... a DVD+R and DVD-R. Thats all its referring to.
