HD DVD from XBox 360 in Windows...

[ddrueding]

Has anyone else played around with this? I picked up one this afternoon and it was perfectly plug-n-play in Vista. Now I'd like to get the movies I bought onto my HDTV. Anyone have suggestions?

Well, the "Add new hardware" manager detected and installed the correct driver, having the drive and disk appear under My Computer without a hitch. Windows Update promptly stepped in, did some driver updates of it's own, and now it isn't visible anymore :crap:

Another reboot and power-cycling the player fixed that issue.

It works fine with Server 2003. I use AnyDVD 6.1 to bypass the moronic requirement for HDCP.

Alright, I can see the files, and I can rip them to my HDD.

Any suggestions for converting it to some other file format? XviD?

Those tools don't exist yet as far as I know. You live with ~25GB of files for a movie and you like it.

Especially when the movie is "Serenity", which is the entire reason I bought an HDDVD player.

Darn, OK. What player do you use?

PowerDVD 7 works.
