burning 360 game just says play dvd

i got the idea from sicdude iv just looked for his orig post but cant find it.

anyways heres the link to get the updates.

http://support.xbox.com/support/en/...soleproblems/downloadingupdatestoconsole.aspx

just download it unzip it and send it to a mem stick then plug it into a usb controller socket and THEN turn your xbox on and let it update.

i must also say that i have mesed about with mw2 so im not sure what wave it is at the moment as i have made that many coasters trying to sort this game out lol.

but im now hoping that i can play all wave 4 games *fingers crossed*.

 

hi! i have the same problem after flashing my benq, i know i did it right because ive re-flashed it and check my ofw.bin and its ix16benq with my original drive key which i save the 1st time i flashed, im using Aone dvd+R DL and also checked the iso's with abgx, do u think its my media?

 

i had the same problem burning ff13 my other burned games worked but the first 2 burns of ff13 didnt but then i burned me2 and it worked adn then burned ff13 a 3rd time and it was fine. burn said it finished sucessfully. and that was using verbs at 2.4 speed with layer break.

 

sussed it now! had to use activation disc 1st even though it does the same as a backup game would 'play dvd' but success at last!

 

Hey guys, new to the backup scene so could do with advise.

I'm getting the "Play DVD" error when i burn discs

Im using ImgBurn 2.5 and they burn successfully.
Using 2.4x speed write.
I am using unbranded DVDs (have bought Verbs)

I'm unsure what drive and firmware i have (bought from ebay), although i believe it is 1.5.

I do know it works as i have a copied L4D2 that works fine.

I have tried the activate disc like mentioned above but it gets the same "Play DVD" error.

Do you think it is just the unbranded discs im using? Or am i doing something all wrong. Any advise who be greatly recieved.

 

well i had same problem im useign verbatims and i can play burned and original games. funny thing is i had a bad burn a goo burn then 3 bad burns in a row but it said they fiished sucessfully. also when u read abgx from the disc i burned it doesnt seem to come up with a problem i dont understand.

 

my dvd drive is brand new so laser isnt problem. this is annoying me.

 

i had the same problems with a m8s 360 in the end i had to get wave patch converter and burn the same game 4 times in wave 1-2-3 and 4 to find out that his 360 will only play wave 2 games.

i also had the same problem with mw2 tho i got around that by getting the consol updates from the M$ site and downloading them onto a mem stick and plugging that into my xbox ever since (touchwood) iv been ok.


progs used vuze , imgburn vers 2.5.0.0 , verbatim dual layer full face printable 8x , Optiarc DVD RW AD-5240S 1.02 (ATA) , burn speed 4x.

there are ways to check the book type setting on your dvd writer but iv found this is normally not needed also the manuel setting of the layer break on your dvdwriter can be alterd but once again this is normally not needed as all the info like the layer break is contained in the .dvd file.

i used to use ridisc AAA extreme and they worked fine for ages then i started getting failures until i switched to verbatims since then iv been ok it could also be that part of the problem is your burn speed while ppl say only burn at 2.4x your burner might be struggleing to do a proper burn at such a slow speed (and lets face it 2.4x is a slow speed as we get better and better burners and media) so id try doing one at 4x just to see if you get a better success rate hope thats given you some ideas.

 

I solved my problem buy updating my Samsung drive to 1.61, all fixed now. So i guess its an old Firmware issue.

 

I fixed my issue updating from 1.5 to 1.61, not sure if this is of help to any one else

 

check the wave of the game first
