i got my verbs and luck had it...MADE IN SINGAPORE! i was able to burn seven out of the ten discs which was a lot better than the two out of nine memorex...still losing three discs is slightly disapointing considering that they are verbatim...i believe the three lost were the result of bad backup images...

I now have 8 burns completed but only 3 games will play '._.
Dirt disc error, yes.
The other 5 games wont even start. DOH!
I have flashed my BenQ drive with the newest iXtreme Firmware 1.41 for the BenQ drive.
How the hell do i set my bit-type to DVD-ROM? :P
PS: The game wich runs best is Conan, i only get Dirt disc error after 20 min of playing or so.... but still, pretty annoying. aRGH!
What speed is the 1.41 firmware? If you use a lower speed, the drive will read better. Also, when's the last time you updated the firmware for your burner?

I checked my Rainbow six Vegas 2 iso and it was completely perfect with XDVDMulleter(I did CRC check, is this enough? or should i use autofix?). Now I have burned it.. Should I check it another time? Because now it's on dvd(burned with clonecd with 2,4x speed) so it costs very long to check if the game is good, because DVD's aren't that fast as a hard disk.

I'm doing burns now, I have no verbatim discs yet but I'm trying the Memorex ones anyways because they couldn't be sent back because my dad already opened them. =/
My book type was already set to DVD-ROM and I tried burning with CloneCD and it said it was a sucess burn, then I put it in the 360 and it says Mixed Media Disc and then I click it and nothing happens. What does this mean?
this means your media is crap and wont work, even if the memorex works after a little while (few scratches) the 360 will stop reading it...just wait for your verbs to come and use the memorex as data discs:P

Will there be a better success rate if I burn at 1x?
depending on your burner you may get a lower success rate on 1x because the burner may not be able to handle a low burn speed on DL media,burning speeds fluctuate from there original set point, burn at 2x (2.4x) with verbatim and you'll be fine:)

tripplite- Thanks for all the helpful info you have provided in your posts. I am a 360 noob with a used xbox elite (just purchased yesterday) and would like to ask a few prerequisite type questions...
xbox 360 elite questions...
1. is it possible to find out the brand and model dvd drive in my xbox without opening it?
2. is it possible to play backups without using ixtreme? Can backups be played with just a manufacture update?
3. How do you load original or backup games to the xbox's hard drive?
other questions...
1. On the dvd region tab under a burner's device properties page it says changes remaining: 5 and current region: not selected. Am I suppose to select a region or can this be left alone?
2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817130008 are these the right verbatimz? Are there any better deals than the link's?
3. Can Lite-on burners be used to make backups or is there a prefered brand model etc?
my burner specs...
lite-on lh-20a1l updated with the most recent firmware update (03/2008)
Ok thats all for now and ty again tripplitez <3

2. The only way to play backups is either with ixtreme or a mod chip.
3. You can't load games to the hard drive.
Other ?s
1. Leave it alone
2. Those are the right discs. Every 4~5 weeks Best Buy has the 20 pack on sale for $30
3. Your burner will burn dual layered discs.

I'm very very sorry if this was asked before. I checked the thread but I couldn't see it anywhere. So my question is this: How can you copy an already copied Xbox 360 game. It is an already copied Verbatim DVD + R DL of Turok. What I want to do is basically create and ISO of that disk using CloneCD and copy that ISO as is to another Verbatim DVD + R DL disk. Will it work?

xbox 360 elite questions...
1. is it possible to find out the brand and model dvd drive in my xbox without opening it?
yes by simply looking at the disc tray:)
look here
2. is it possible to play backups without using ixtreme? Can backups be played with just a manufacture update?
ha ha, no silly:) you can get modchips and a ss remover and such, but those cost $$ and usually can't/are difficult to update:)
3. How do you load original or backup games to the xbox's hard drive?
you just need the iso....you must also use a different hard drive then the 360s, not really worth it if you ask me
http://www.modchip.com/xbox360/x360usborder.php
other questions...
1. On the dvd region tab under a burner's device properties page it says changes remaining: 5 and current region: not selected. Am I suppose to select a region or can this be left alone?
no dont give it a region:)
2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817130008 are these the right verbatimz? Are there any better deals than the link's?
thats a very good deal for verbs, remember you can only use DVD+R DL, so yes that is the right product
3. Can Lite-on burners be used to make backups or is there a preferred brand model etc?
my burner specs...
lite-on lh-20a1l updated with the most recent firmware update
dont worry lite-ons have a very high success rate for burns, and yes you can back up with that drive
use this software:

I think I might have missed something... since when have we been able to load and play our backups from the hdd?
Because we can't.

Hi Guys
Thanks for all the replies from my earlier questions! I managed to burn 2 successful games (and not wasted any more discs which is nice!)
The only problem im faced with now is that when I start burning with ImgBurn, i get an error 'Optimum Power Calibration Failed'
I updated my firmware on my DVD drive, that fixed the error for 1 more burn, which worked successfully!
But again i'm getting the 'Optimum Power Calibration Failed' error and I can't burn anything. I've turned off the power calibration check in the options but then the discs fail after burning for a few seconds!
Sorry to be a pain, and thanks in advance for any help you can give.
:)

thats an issue to do with your media/drive/firmware combination, sry try using the older version of imgburn as it didn't even issue that command;)

Right. That's what I meant when I said we can't. That person was asking about loading games to their 360 hard drive, obviously to play from the hdd. I think you misread what they asked, that's all.
I know we're all eagerly awaiting that day when we can, though.
Also, that person was asking about which drive was in an Elite. You posted a pretty old pic. Elites don't have Samsung drives. Only Hitachi and Benq. Here's a better pic.

Alright, I've set the layer break.
But I've heard you have to load the DVD file, not the iso.
But my iso is around 7 gb and my DVD file is only a few kb, so what should I be doing?

My xbox 360 is a Hitachi LG and my burner is also an LG, is this a problem?
NOPE not a problem:) you can either burn the iso or the .dvd file, the .dvd file is an image file which means it just gives the burner instructions on how-to burn the iso, basically the same thing:)

NO NO NO!! this guide is still the method used to today!! most games are pre-patched so you only need to burn the .ISO using clone CD, the games will work with ixtreme, more recent games may not work with ixtreme until the next update:)
here is a mirror link of the ss merger: http://www.maxconsole.net/?mode=gotodownload&downloadid=1656
if you need a download link for the ss files (security sectors) then PM me!
btw: id say 98% of games are prepatched, you dont need to worry, just burn like the tut says!
-tripplite
This was actually going to be my question, but I'm glad someone else asked it.
What I'd like to know now is why you prefer Clone CD to Imgburn? Through my various years of lurking it seems that most preferred Imgburn. Is this only preference or is there a practical reason for it?
Also, I don't have a kreon drive for rips and I'm not keen on plunking down the $60 for one. I'd like to do the hotswap raw-dump method but what kind of mess would I be looking at? Other than finding SS files to merge (where can those files even be found at? no one seems to know) what else would I need to do? and is the only reason people don't like to do the hotswap raw-dump because of the hassle involved with taking a drive apart etc. etc.?

You don't have to take the drive apart. Use a paper clip in the eject hole. You'd have to download the ss, dmi, pfi, and video info and you can use XDVD Mullerer to patch the iso.
But if you plan on using these backups on LIVE, I wouldn't be using downloaded security info.

I was reading through a Mulleter guide, doesn't the most recent version download and patch the SS file for you automatically? Or would I still have to locate some and inject them myself?
What would make using these backups on XB Live different than ones created from Kreon?

mulleter will backup the ss files for you, it even lets you create a .dvd:)
if you need ss file look here

So if I do the hot swap method and run the resulting raw image through Mulleter it will back up the SS files from that raw image and format it to a burnable image that is Xtreme compatable?
I though I read somewhere that the only way you can rip games and retain the SS files is with a Kreon drive, that any other method of ripping games will remove the SS files...
I'm really confused lol, I just want to make sure I do this right the first time. I don't want to end up with a bunch of expensive Verb coasters.
