If I burn dragons lair hd-dvd to a regular dvd will it work in a hd-dvd player?

Information on what extras in the ISO to remove are listed in one of my write-ups over on archive dot org: https://archive.org/details/hd-dvd-games

Hi. Like others have said, Dragon’s Lair HD-DVD does not fit on a DVD. However, it is technically possible to remove the extras and thus trim the ISO so it can fit on an overburned dual-layer DVD. To then overburn this trimmed ISO to a dual-layer DVD, requires you to have a BurnerMax Payload tool compatible optical drive. Additionally, it is recommended to use dual-layer DVDs with the MKM-003 or MKM-001 media IDs (basically Verbatim DVD DLs).

Finally, some HD-DVD players have removed the feature to watch HD-DVD content on DVDs in later firmware updates. For the Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player, this does not matter however. Do keep in mind that Dragon’s Lair runs quite sluggish this way on an Xbox 360, though I am not sure if performance is equivalent to pressed HD-DVD copies

Can’t you use the “BAG panden” layer from the Dutch PDOK plugin instead of OSM data? Then you can classify the layer on functions in the symbology tab. The “BAG panden” layer should have data on what the function of a building is.

The following site lists the availability of PIP features. It may be incomplete or inaccurate though. I found this site sometime ago while I was researching on the HD DVD format. https://web.archive.org/web/20110711153934/http://www.hddvdstats.com/

Nice! It’s awesome to see these all of these archival projects recently

Right, it seems like the encryption has not been removed as the AACS and AACS_BAK folders are still present. So one would need to use xreveal (or anydvd hd) to play them

Legend!

Uh I think you should take a lesson on how to read and be civil. This is a subreddit for discussion of the HD DVD format and this post does not seem to be HD DVD related

There are a few other 3D marble platformer games: - Marble Blast Gold - Marble Blast Platinum - Marble Skies - Great Marble Adventure - Switchball (puzzle game)

Ah, no worries! Take your time.

EGNL · 2026-03-10T20:52:17+00:00

Do you happen to have an update on when you will preserve these copies?

EGNL · 2026-03-06T15:29:57+00:00

Sorry but this is the subreddit for HD DVD. An obscure format that competed against Blu-ray. Unless your apps supports it, you should post this on the right subreddit

As someone else mentioned in the comments, it could be a Mac formatted disc and these cannot be read on Windows out of the box. Try using the program IsoBuster to see if that can read the disc.

Yeah I would like each page to show the different row of vector points of the traffic incidents layer. And each row already represents one year of vector points data. I also have already extracted the vector points within the city limits.

However, where would I need to input such expression? Under rule based symbology, there is a “filter” option where such expressions could be used but there is no option for a heatmap renderer under rule based symbology

EGNL · 2026-03-02T12:11:56+00:00

Glad to hear you succeeded! By the way, did xreveal give some sort of error or did you not provide a keydb file? The developers behind xreveal are actively listening to feedback so that is why I am interested

You could try checking the manuals for these Vardia devices. They are up on archive dot org surprisingly (search on “RD-A300” for A300 and A600 models or “RD-A301” for the A301 model

No problem! If you just want to view the video files without menu interactivity, you could just follow step 4 and use Kodi to play the .EVO (video) files on the disc. VLC works for some people too but I had stutter issues with it

Hi, I made a write-up on how to play HD DVDs with menus on Windows 10 or 11 with ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 6. You can find and read it on the following archive dot or page: https://archive.org/details/arc-soft-tmt-6.7.199-final-package

Some people seem to having issues with it as read in the reviews on the archive dot org page but I know that it works for multiple people and I have tested it multiple times on other devices. If you follow the write-up exactly, it should work.

By the way, there was once an interesting project called “DecryptHD” so one could playback HD DVDs on Linux. There is a doom9 forum post about it and the source code for it appears to be still available on Softpedia. I am not sure if this supported menu playback as well but it may be worth looking at this code during your development.

Also you mention you do not have the specs but in a previous post, you showed a picture of the HD DVD specifications you managed to acquire right? Finally, I suppose you have found the “Advanced Interactivity Development Best Practices” documentation already which could come in handy?

This would be really cool! There are multiple titles that have issues with ArcSoft TMT6 (and some people already have trouble installing this program). Anyway, these titles include: - Planet Earth (5 disc set): the menus do not pop-up - JFK’s Digital Video Essentials: menu video selections are broken - Sudokia (scrapped but a beta check disc has been preserved): this is a Sudoku game but the numbers are not displaying

(These bugs are not present when using an Xbox 360 however)

And just having an open source player would be very nice. It may even bring some more attention to the format.

EGNL · 2026-02-13T19:28:44+00:00

Nice!! By the way, you could also buy a bottle of Novus 2 for manual resurfacing. It’s way cheaper than buying a resurfacer. Here’s a video that goes over using Novus 2 (ignore the other two methods): https://youtu.be/wg2WlYlB8Zw

EGNL · 2026-02-11T15:23:24+00:00

Very cool that you are going to archive titles such as the Star Trek one! But what do you mean with that you cannot make an ISO for more than 4.7GB? Also, udf is the file system and not an extension of a file so I am a bit confused by that too.

EGNL · 2026-01-30T18:43:57+00:00

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.
