  1. XBOX 360 REGION ENCODING ACTIVATED ON HD DVD IN RECENT UPDATE???


    Is anybody else having a problem that their HD DVDs no longer play on their console if they are not UK/USA region? I had various HD DVDs from Spain, and other European countries and they do not play anymore. My '2001 a Space Odyssey' suddenly stopped working
    after a console update as did various other non UK HD DVDs. So to check this I bought the UK region HD DVD for '2001' and that worked fine but the one i had originally (from Spain) did not work. It just hangs when the player is trying to play it.

    It appears that a recent update has enabled region encoding but the whole point about the HD DVD standard was that it was region free and region encoding should not be activated. Any ideas anybody?

    Moved from: Music, Movies & TV / Xbox Video.

    :)

    5.1 Optical Problems

    "crappy " hd-dvd was superior if features and fidelity when they both launched plus pure region free goodness, only storage space was the limiting factor and even then not massively bad.

    Back to the console issue I believe the issue is that they have to take many sources and encode it all into DD, game, chat, system, TV, all at once. Perhaps DTS is easier to do this with.

    Using a XBOX 360 Purchased in US (via Amazon.com) in India

    Thanks for the information! I saw another thread here saying that in case of purchasing the Xbox outside India, A separate request should be made for the power brick here in India - Is this right?..Also, in case of region locking, will there be any indication
    on the game cover etc. on the same (Like in the case of region-encoding in DVDs - Region 1,Region 2 etc)?

    Xbox One not playing newer Blue Rays

    I think it's tied to Region Encoding. I did a lot of looking, The XBox One seems to play DVD/Blu-ray that are not region encoded. But any of the newer ones that are encoded to any region seem to give me the no-disk message. My solution... $79 cost-co
    blu-ray player :) so much for XBox "One".

    Xbox One imported from other region

    Each Xbox One console is manufactured for a specific Blu-ray and DVD region, following international standards. The Xbox One console can play Blu-ray discs and DVDs that are sold in the same region as the console.

    Some Blu-ray discs and DVDs are not region-encoded or are coded to all regions. Region-free Blu-ray discs and DVDs will play on any Xbox One console.

    xbox 360 slim

    I regret to inform you that Xbox 360 S console cannot play HD DVDs. You still need to have an HD DVD player for you to be able to play HD DVDs. However, Microsoft Xbox does not sell Xbox 360 HD DVD player anymore.

    Who here still has a HD-DVD player?

    The formats, that are going obsolete... Were already obsolete, from day one... Fluorescent Multilayer Discs, were prototyped in 2000, but lost investors to develop it any further etc.. Blu-Ray came out in 2006...

    ..

    HD-DVD can also be Double Sided... So it's 30GB & 60GB too.. + It can be encoded with both DVD & HD-DVD movies, on the same disc etc... [Both on one side] so DVD players can play HD-DVD titles too..
