[mythtv-users] Xbox reading CD-R vs. DVD-R (was:Converting a TiVO Series 2 to a Myth Box?)

[Michael J. Lynch]

Which media your xbox will work with is dependent on the DVD drive
manufacturer.  The Thompsons are the worst, followed by Phillips, and
finally Samsung.  The Samsungs will read just about anything....but...very
few xboxen have Samsung drives.  Most have the crappy Thompsons.
