hi, has anyone tried this? can someone tell me if you can run a dvd filmed backed up on hdl (or will it not except the dvd?) or win Hiip

I think dvdbackup has to be ported first.

DVD movies can't be launched from HDL. First of all they're encrypted and second there's no executable programs for HDL to load. The DVD-player itself remains in the BIOS also in an encrypted form and the player takes care of decrypting the moviedata when playing. So there would be quite a job to decrypt several levels of encryption and patching data inbetween to direct various disc-accesses to the HDD.

But you're welcome to try. I bet Sony/MPAA/etc wouldn't mind.

A port of MPlayer should do the job... and to DeCSS the DVD before writing it to the HDD is not really a big problem...

thanks
