XBox DVD playback kit

ribitch · 12-17-2002, 12:13 PM

I just got one for 15 bucks at circuit city. Anyways, Bestbuy advertised the Xbox at one point as being a progrssive scan DVD player, and I have yet to see anyone else claim this. Is it truly a progressive scan player, or did bestbuy have some clueless worker make up a sign while having no clue what was actually going on.

Thanks

it is a progressive scan player. you will need component cables for it to work

i have the advanced HD kit so i will be using component. Do movies play in progressive scan, or just the games?

What is progressive scan and what do I need to use it?

I have an xbox with component cables into my tv.

The Xbox IS NOT a progressive scan DVD player without a mod-chip. Check out Hapoo's post in this thread for some infomative sites in the Xbox mod sceen:

4) Do the DVD players on Xbox and PS2 have this feature (progressive scan)?

Neither Xbox nor PS2 supports progressive scan for DVD movies. Xbox supports progressive scan for games.

Now that really sucks...

thanks. so basically i really didnt need this since I have a 200 DVD changer. Oh well, having a single DVD player as well wont hurt anything.
