Many thanks for the guide, it's very well done. As a new Ubuntu user, I appreciate any help I can get, especially the part about installing UDF 2.5 drivers.

I think it is important to try and make sure that all the advances that are being made on this forum are able to be performed under an open source OS. With MS affectively caving in to the media corporations and trying to lock down Vista, it's a good idea to have an alternative.

Just one point regarding the guide, an uninfomed reader may get the impression that he could rip a Blu-Ray disc with the X-Box HD-DVD drive since the guide specifically relates to both formats but only mentions the X-Box drive.

Cheers, Beastie.
