In case there was some confusion, I just want to be clear - I'm not asking for any additional features or special encoders. The Xbox is already fully capable of 720x480 DVD playback. I simply want the ability to have my dumped ISOs show up in the menu. You can manually load them from the File Manager already. I assume it's simply a matter of creating a DEFAULT.XBE for each movie, linking to its corresponding VIDEO_TS.IFO. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge on the process can provide some guidance. I really appreciate it, thanks.

I've been in the process of preserving my entire DVD movie collection in ISO format. Coincidentally, I stopped growing my collection about the same time the OG Xbox reached the end of its lifecycle - circa 2006. I realize this approach probably isn't going to be for everybody, as many have moved on to MKVs and Plex, etc. For me, however.. I'm still chasing that vision I had almost 20 years ago, of having all those movies accessible from a beautiful carousel menu, complete with artwork and synopsis - exactly like we have our games in XBMC4Gamers today! I'm able to play these movies perfectly from the File Manager already, but I need help understanding how to make them show up in XBMC4Gamers menu, just like if they were game discs. I think I need to create custom XBEs that link to the DVDs main IFO? Maybe there is even a script I can tweak to automate the process? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'm hoping to leverage some of the current Kodi scripts to help pull in all the artwork and other data. In case that doesn't work out, I'm prepared to do it all by hand. If anyone is already working on something similar and would like to collaborate, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll be doing about 800 movies myself, and I'm happy to share a complete pack with all the artwork and everything when it's done.

Here's a simple command I used on my Windows desktop, to unpack everything into one large F partition, mounted as X: in FatXplorer. Hope it helps someone. open a command prompt window into the base folder you downloaded make sure you have 7z.exe in there (if not already setup in PATH to a different location) then type the following: for /r %a in (*.7z) do 7z.exe x "%~a" -o"X:\Games" Thank you so much! @nikeymikey for all your hard work and sharing with the community.

Darn it, drive already at max quota before it finished uploading. Hopefully someone with the resources can mirror it on internet archive. Cheers, have a great weekend everyone!

Hats off to @nikeymikey and everyone involved in this important work. How good is CCI compatibility - will a perfect Repackinator set require a few XISOs?
