it's shite. "loss of quality"? that doesn't even mean anything.

it's not gonna be as good quality as the bitstream being pumped directly into your brain, no.

nor is it gonna be as good quality as a £500 all-the-bells-and-whistles standalone.

but it's not £500. loss of quality compared with what, exactly?

Xbox should be the same as any other dvd player

i use my xbox for dvds from time to time i havent noticed any quality loss (i did once tho when i put mpg1 files on a dvdr and used my ps2, im guessing cuz it has to software decode the mpg1) and also when i used the regionfree dongleless player (sry cant think of the name atm) i was able to play off resolution dvds that work in pc's but not most dvd players
come to think of it, what u may b thinking of could b macrovision too, since if u run the xbox through a vcr it will get dark and light, dark and light (not a prob for ppl who have mod chips like me

quicker than using retail pressed ones, yeah, but if you use decent discs with decent reflectivity, you'll hardly notice it.
