Yes and you'll have full menu support too. Just rip the DVD movie to your hard drive using DVD Decryptor, then ftp the ISO file to your f:\video or g:\video directory on your Xbox. Once copied over, just play it with XBMC. Or just use the dvd2xbox application on your Xbox and make sure you're ripping in ISO mode. "ISO mode" is for movies and "normal mode" is for games.

Can the Xbox play DVD movies from other regions?

Unofficial Xbox FAQ
Not normally, no. The first DVD kit you use with your Xbox will lock it to the region of the DVD kit. So if you put a Region 1 kit into your Xbox, it will be permanently locked to only Region 1 DVDs. There is a product called Region X that will supposedly allow your Xbox to play movies from any region. Currently the product seems only to be available for Region 2 Xboxes.

Can it play DVD movies?

Wii FAQ - QJ.NET Forums
No. Nintendo has confirmed that the Wii will not be able to play DVD movies.

Can I play a VCD or DVD-R on my game system (PS2, XBox, etc.)?

Frequently Asked Questions
VCD: Unfortunately, no. Although it is possible to get VCD addons for Playstation (not Playstation 2), Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast, do not expect to be able to play a VCD on your game system even if it is equipped to play DVDs. DVD-R: DVD-Rs may work in your game system, but it might not work properly. For example, I tested some discs in my own PS2 and there were problems with the menu that made it almost impossible to select the desired episode.

Is it possible to play backup copies from DVD-R on the Xbox after installing Linux?

Talk:FAQ - Xbox-Linux
Playing backup copies of games has nothing to do with Linux. You'll need a hack from someone else like XBox Scene (http://www.xbox-scene.com) to run backed up games: neither the MechAssault method nor Cromwell runs backup games. If you have a modchip that can run backup games, the you could install Linux too. You could, but if you're going to do the hardware modification (presumably with a modchip with a switch), there there is no need for the software modification anymore.
