    I have a Cyberhome Dual Layer burner. It is internal. Will I be able to burn Xbox 360 games to Verbatim with this burner? Anyone have any experience with this burner? Will I have to get a Pioneer or a LG? Can some one point me in the right direction please?

    Your burner should be ok.
    What model number is it?
    What firmware is installed?

    How would I be able to check what model? I've personally have never installed any firmware in the drive. How could I check if it has any firmware installed? if not, where can I get firmware for it and how would I install? Any help is appreciated.

    yes with nero 7. Its just that everyone is always saying that only Pioneer and LG Dual Layer burners work properly.

    Post a Nero burn log. This will give information about your burner.

    The drive is a bit old. It dates back to 2005.
    I would replace it.
    When you're ready, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye) made in Singapore.
