Are There ANY brand DVD-R/W's That Will Play In An (unmodded) Xbox?

Are there brands of DVD-R/W that will operate in an Xbox?

For putting multiple CD's onto one disk and playing it, or for playing movie backups.

in my experience the xbox will play every brand of dvd'r Ive thrown at it, not so sure theyll play multiple music cds off of a dvd-r, but it will definately play movies

microsoft is patching the bios for the 007 overflow - but nice try ;)

what about CDR/RW?

Cd-r's never worked on an unmodded Xbox. Its an added feature thats built in so that you can only put in officially licensed Cd's, Movies and Games!

I was hoping with DVD-R's they mite be harder to distinguish from cheap movies and thusly would be a looser standard.

Save Ferris,
That's not entirely true about CD-Rs not working. It depends on what drive you have. The Thompson drive won't read any CD-Rs and most CD-RWs. I've found that my Thompson drive will read Memorex 650mb CD-RWs just fine. Not sure about the Philips, but I know for a fact the Samsung drive in newer Xboxes read almost any CD-R you throw at it.
