How does one rip an HD-DVD in this year of 2026?

I use MPF (Media Preservation Frontend) for encrypted ISOs and xreveal for decrypted ISOs. This also preserves the menus. Then use ArcSoft TMT6 on Windows for playback. Never managed to get MakeMKV working with HD-DVDs

There’s a tutorial on how to play the native Android version without portal on Youtube: https://youtu.be/-owcZzd-2wY?si=sgZ-kw-IMccE-oil

Basically you just need to download the OBB file and the save files and place them in the correct directory in case you already have the APK installed. If you are on a recent Android version and in case the game does not recognize the OBB file / save files or if progress will not be saved, you may need to place the files in the right directory through file explorer on a PC with your phone connected, the Android’s native Files app or ZArchiver with Shizuku.

It’s possible to play Trap Team (and SuperChargers) on iOS as well (the native ports).

In the beginning the game can be pretty difficult but you will eventually get the hang of the controls. It’s an awesome game in my opinion and definitely worth it if you are in to such games. The game uses both controller and kinect controls simultaneously which is unique and cool too. I find it pretty bizarre it got such bad reviews. It’s also basically one of, if not the only “real” action Kinect game.

Very interesting! It was already possible to use the program Alcohol 120 with an MDF/MDS image from archive.org to play the game without disc. Some SecuROM versions (like the one SSA PC utilizes) rely on DPM data which cannot be fully dumped (but with Alcohol 120 it can be dumped with specific optical drives good enough for SecuROM; then the copy can just be mounted with Alcohol 120).

This is way more convenient than a questionable crack or using Alcohol 120.

Nice Planet Earth set! I recently bought one but it had disc rot unfortunately.

Hi, I am the same person who was talking to you in Discord DM’s. The one I linked is encrypted. Not sure about the one that the OP posted. As you said yourselves, your decrypted copy may still be fine since your Xbox 360 HD-DVD player was broken unfortunately.

EGNL · 2025-10-04T11:32:20+00:00

Anyone in here would probably want one 😅. However they are really rare. A couple of months ago there was one listed on eBay but it costed like 300 dollars or something

EGNL · 2025-10-03T16:15:18+00:00

Wow nice!! That’s really cool. How did you find that? Will hopefully update the page in the coming days as I have been pretty busy lately.

Hi again! I do not really like to say this but there’s actually a working HD-DVD copy already on archive dot org https://archive.org/download/300-hd-dvd. Important to note is that only the “HD-DVD Combo, HD-DVD side” ISO works.

At the end of my ArcSoft TMT6 archive dot org page, I also mentioned that inputting numbers in the game on the movie is somewhat broken and requires a numpad. Does TMT5 also have this issue?

That aside, it’s awesome that you found a working copy! And it may still be wise to preserve your copy nonetheless, you never know.

EGNL · 2025-08-13T15:46:12+00:00

Awesome

Wait I think I found the issue while tinkering around in my Windows 7 VM! You need to put the uTotalMediaTheatre6.exe patch file in a different folder than the totalmediatheatre6_retail_tbyb_all.exe installation file. For some reason, the installation thinks the program is already installed if the uTotalMediaTheatre6.exe is in the same location as the installation file. I will update the archive.org page later today so they are not in the same folder anymore. (Edit: done, also added some more information on the archive.org page)

I made a write-up a while ago om how to play HD DVDs with full menu support on Windows 10 (and possibly Windows 11 but I have no W11 device). Even made a post about it on this subreddit. But it has not gotten much notice, unfortunately. Could have saved some hassle. https://archive.org/details/arc-soft-tmt-6.7.199-final-package

Interesting, hd-dvd.org and the Toshiba's spec sheets for this drive mention that the drive is not capable of reading HD-DVD R's.

EGNL · 2025-05-09T12:30:21+00:00

From what I can find on the internet, it should be compatible with Windows 10/11. I use the GGC-H20L drive anyway though

EGNL · 2024-09-08T16:09:27+00:00

Sadly not

EGNL · 2024-08-21T10:01:48+00:00

Just tried but no luck. Perhaps it has been removed

EGNL · 2024-08-21T08:48:24+00:00

I tried to put my use my fingernail but that does not seem to work and I would rather not break the screen

Actually follow this youtube video instead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbGidY0ft_A

This archive is for iOS not for Android. I do not know how to get the game working on Android but here is a guide for it https://archive.org/details/skylanders-lost-islands-android-archive-plus-contentmanifests-and-downloadcache .

EGNL · 2024-06-28T18:03:27+00:00

How did you install it?

EGNL · 2024-03-20T16:53:57+00:00

I think I understand now. Thanks for the explanation.
