Why and How to Fix Xbox One 0x91d70000 Error Code

I have an Xbox One which did work initially but now it can't read disk and show an error code '0x91d70000'. Anyone encountered anything like this before?

Xbox One features Blu-ray disc drive available for the playback of games or movies from DVD and Blu Ray discs. The frustrating thing is that many users report error codes such as 0x91d70000 and end up with disc not reading error, e.g. when they try to play a PAL DVD disc on a Xbox One bought from the U.S.

Why Xbox One shows error code 0x91d70000? Officially, the error means the formatting of the disc is not recognized, according to Xbox Support. But based on the official Microsoft and other tech forums, the Xbox One 0x91d70000 has something to do with not only the disc itself, but also the console's disc drive, the blu ray player app, and most importantly, the copy protection scheme encoded on the DVD. Just keep on reading and solve the Xbox One 0x91d70000 error.

Solution 1. Digitize DVD to Remove Region Code and Other Protections

Technically, the lack of copy protection support triggers the Xbox One 0x91d70000 error message onscreen. This is confirmed by Xbox. According to its official site, each Xbox One console is manufactured for specific disc region. If the disc is not correctly formatted or within the right region code, the error message will occur. For example, you cannot play PAL DVD movie or watch a Japanese DVD anime on XBO in USA. What makes things even trickier is commercial discs are under various copy protections other than region codes. These cause the media incompatibility with Xbox One.

Since it's absurd to discard your unplayable but cherished DVDs or spend extra $44.21 for a new drive but be uncertain of any other disc error code on XBO, why not decrypt and rip protected DVD to digital version and remove all the restrictions freely with a free DVD ripper such as WinX DVD Ripper. This is also the once-and-for-all solution to backup your cherished DVD against scratch or damage and watch your video content on XBO, TV, mobile, tablet, and more, without the need to put your DVD in your drive tray each time you want to play it.
