360 HD-DVD Drive

[SuperBeatBoy]

Im thinking about hooking mine up to my pc. Can anyone point me in a direction of a decent media player for it. As i haven't come across any that plays HD-DVD's in my pc experience. Thanks.

I'm sure PowerDVD can do Hi Def stuff now, I have a HDDVD but no discs still!

I tried PowerDVD the latest version and it didn't work. I only got it working with WinDVD.

I knew I should have picked up one of those drives when I saw them for 5000yen in Akihabara...next time maybe.

PowerDVD Ultra is the only version that plays HD-DVD.

PowerDVD Ultra is the only version that plays HD-DVD.

Its the version i tried. It just wouldn't load the disc no matter how many times i picked the drive.

WinDVD8 Platinum is the software you are looking for.

PowerDVD Ultra 8 can run HD-DVDs however it needs an unofficial patch applying to do so. Version 7 of ultra had support for HD-DVD built in.

Not tried it myself but here is a link (and tutorial) for that patch AlonzoUK is talking about

Follow that link to enable HDDVD playback in powerdvd 8.
I did this before the latest update, the said update has been run on my machine and HDDVD playback still works.

Powerdvd 7 Ultra plays hddvds but powerdvd 8 does not.
Two versions fellas - hope that stops the crossed wires.
