Like those 5.1 home movies in Richard's thread?
It depends on the DVD drive.
M$ have used different makes/models of DVD drive since the XBox was released.
The 1st ones used a Thomson drive, which didn't like CDR (& I think DVD+/-R??) & was prone to die an early death (hence many people with launch XBoxes had to get repairs/replacements from M$ due to the DVD drive going kaput).
They've since changed to Philips drives, & then to Samsung drives.
AFAIK...
The Philips drives are more likely to read CDR/DVD+/-R than the Thomson drives.
And the Samsung drives should read pretty much everything.
Although I think it does also depend on the media used. It seems to tolerate some more than others.
