OP, I can confirm the 360 HD DVD drive will run on a Windows 7 machine (as I've done it many, many times). It's actually quite easy to do and yes, you have to have the correct decoder/software to actually view it. Some decent ones are Easy DVD Player, older version of PowerDVD Ultra, Arcsoft Total Media Theater 3....etc... Here's the official word from Microsoft.... http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ ... indows%207 .... And here's a small tutorial - http://www.question-defense.com/2010/08 ... dvd-player . Do a little searching and thou wilst be rewarded. Hope this helps!

Multi blu-ray burners like LG GGW-H20L can read hd dvd. Read, not burn. (I would like to see or have a burnable hd dvd just for having it). The only problem with the lg drives is that i think the quality is mediocre. I had several coasters burning cd's and some blu-rays. One blu ray BD-R after a few times wasn't readable anymore . (Ritek one) I got the external LG BE06LU10. Hd dvd, it takes pretty long to mount (I've got only Bourne Ultimatum as my only title). You will see many .EVO files. (Not Evo 3D ones, lol) More kind of hd dvd .VOB's. Then you will need TotalMedia Theatre 3 (version 3.0.1.195) , or WinDVD 9 prior to the updates that left hd dvd out and see if they will work on w8.1.

I have the LG GGC-H20L. It can read BD and HD-DVD, but not burn them. It can only burn CD and DVD, good enough for me. MPC-HC can open .EVO files, but they wont play just like that BUT! If you happen to have a software called "Any DVD HD", they will play just fine in MPC-HC. Explanation is most likely the AACS protection that keeps MPC-HC from playing them just like that. Any DVD HD will deactivate that (and will also have some nice tricks for Blu-Ray and DVD "problems"). Any DVD HD never stopped supporting HD DVD and even the most recent version still has HD-DVD options right in the main menu. To make sure I'm not posting bs I've just tested it again, .EVO files from the TRAFFIC HD-DVD are playing just fine. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
