    most people will not recommend that you use a DL disc for
    game back ups. I do think the Xbox will play them though.

    IF you booktype the +R to a -ROM you shouldn't have any problems with them, I've backed up Ninja Gadian Black to a -R DL and it plays perfectly off both my 1.1 and 1.6, PS2's also play DL backups fine if you have the right chip installed :)

    again IF your burner supports it, just look over your burning software for where those settings are at in that particular software. i use ImgBurn and to change the booktype/bitsetting on it you open the image you're burning, then right click on the DVD drive (in the destination drop down menu) selection and a menu pops up, you then select 'change booktype'

    use the EDIT button, don't double post.......

    dual layer discs hold 8.5 gig. if the map mods work off your harddrive, they'll work off the disc.
