I'm assuming I'm going to answer my own question, but I would like a second, third opinion please.... I have the POS Thompson drive in my box and have like 200 movies on CD-R's... When I put them in my drive of course the drive won't read it... Would my issue be solved my putting in the Samsung drive? Thank you guys for your opinions here!!!

My Samsung reads anything I chuck at it. I have tried many brands of dvd-r and it has read them all. Sell your thompson, get the samsung and you will not look back!!!!

get some imation cd-rw's as memorex ones for thompsons will take up to 20 tries to read, or it may not read at all. cd-r's cant be read by a thompson no matter what brand it is.
if your askin me, the samsungs are pretty damn expensive if you buy them online. almost $100 and some sites more. You might as well get a new xbox and hope your gettin a samsung wit it if you want to pay that much for a dvd drive.

This is probably not the answer you want, but you can get PC DVD-RW's for around the same price as a new Samsung Xbox DVD-Rom's. So why not get yourself one for Xmas :?:
That way your Thompson can read your back-up's, AVI's, MP3's and if you have any MPEG's you can author them as DVD's which DVD player's will read as well. :wink:

Why not put them on ur pc and FTP them?
FYI - My philips reads all the cdr's i throw at it. Even the sh*t cheap ones that are like 10 for $5.

Is there a way to make my xbox play the avi's if they are in my computer tray??? I have no problem ftp'n them to my box, but dont want to use all my space with movies... I would rather have it for games.... Plus I already have them all on my cd-r disks... I dont want to waste them!! Thanks guys...
Share your PC's CD-ROM, then just configure a SMB share in XBMC.sirshady420 said:
