Quite all is in the title.
I have an XBOX360 HD-DVD drive and Windows XP.
What do I need to play my HD-DVD on my computer ?
I read, downloaded and installed the toshiba driver, but windows still only sees a DVD-Reader. What's next ? What's the best software to read HD-DVD movies on XP ?

Thanks in advance for the answers and advices.

You need to get PowerDVD or another similar HD-DVD player application.

Or, get AnyDVD HD, and eac3to, and rip your HD-DVDs to an MKV file ;)

PowerDVD dropped HD-DVD support from version 8, iirc.

That's not a big surprise. Why should they make any efforts to maintain support for a dead format?

I wasn't saying it was or that they should, but the previous poster recommended it for HD-DVD use and I thought the original poster should know that that's no longer an option unless you have access to an older version.
