I've since done it successfully.
But you need a DVD burner on your PC (and have your PC connected to your Xbox). The XBOX wont allow long file names on it's own hard drive, but will allow them on a DVD.
I used Flash FTP to transfer all the files directly off the Rugby League DVD to my PC.
Since the entire Rugby League game is too big to fit on a single layer DVD, I had to reduce the size somehow.
The movie folders only contain cut scene movies which wont affect the game being played. But you cant just delete them. The game will look for these files and crash if not there. You need to still have them there but smaller.
In the folder named "movie0", there are 8 files. Most of them are over 100meg each. The smallest one is "rlintro" (about 23meg). I duplicated "rlintro" 7 times, and then re-named them to match the other 7 huge movie files. (best to put the duplicates and the large files in seperate folders so you can re-name them, then delete or move the original large files, once youve renamed the duplicates, and copy the renamed duplicates back to the "movie0" folder).
This created a set of files small enough to put on a DVD. If you want to make it even smaller (1.4meg i think) repeat for all the other "movie_" folders. All these folders seem to have exactly the same files in them.
I then ISO'd them using ISOMAKER, and burnt to a DVD using RECORDNOWMAX.
The game works perfectly, but obviously the cut scenes may not be true to the original. (I haven't yet played it alot so I cant guarantee it will work later in the game).
