    Cool, thanks. I'll ship this Samsung back to Amazon and try it that way. Should probably order some Taiyo Yudens while I'm at it.

    It's too bad it gave you issues. Laptop burners are notorious for problems with burning, however. Even if it wasn't a laptop burner, I imagine any 'slim' burner is prone to the same problems.

    Better luck with your next one.

    Taiyo Yuden does not make DVD+R DLs. Go for Verbatims Made in Singapore.

    I know I have seen a lot about how to tell if they are good Verbatims, but how can I tell when ordering from Newegg? Or is there another place I can get guaranteed good discs from?

    You just have to get lucky if you buy it online, I guess.

    I have read about some really great deals going on at Sam's Club. $60 for 50 of them and such.

    I need help, the disc burns fine but when it is verifying it comes out with error. I am using Verbatims and a brand new liteon dvdr. Someone help me out.

    In the tutorial I did not say to check the verify box.

    The only verify tool you should use is your 360.

    I ran this iso through abgx360 and it came out fine, burned the disc which came out fine, but the Xbox reads it as a cd for some reason. I have burned a couple of other discs with different iso's and I get a dirty disc error on both of them. I have played another game burned by someone else before, is it a problem with my burner?

    The only game I have ever played was Sega Tennis or whatever its called and that was used to test that it worked. It was at the persons house that flashed the xbox for me. Since it was someone else who did it I really have no way to check which version I have but I have the Hitachi drive.

    I am an idiot and this guide has worked for me for XBOX 360 games. Now I want Ninja Gaiden and Elder Scrolls: Morrowind. Can I burn these the same way as for XBOX 360?

    (I just got a Microsoft HDD so I can play compatible games).

    Is there a topic somewhere on burning XBOX games for the XBOX 360?

    Meanwhile I am buying the XBOX game from an Amazon seller for $8 which includes shipping.

    It is going to take a while for Ninja Gaiden to complete. Maybe by then someone will post a link or say how to do it.

    burnt cod mw2 using image burn. i have liteon 1.61 and i still had to use the activate iso disc, to load cod mw2 is this normal?

    It works fine, im just wondering if i should have to use activate iso with this game and my firmware, or should i of done something else with the image files prior to burning?

    thanks in advance

    Hi all I was wondering if anyone can solve my problem. I am trying to backup my 360 games and have all the right software and go through the steps involved. I am using wxripper then abgx360 and finally ImgBurn and everything seems fine I don't get any error msg's through any of the steps even when burning. But when I place the burnt disk in the Xbox it won't recognize it, I just got my Xbox flashed today by a pro who does this for a job he then tested it with a burnt game and it worked fine so I know that isn't the problem. The only conclusion I can come to is that the burner I am using a Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7200S isn't compatible or it needs new firmware. I am also using TDK DVD+R DL disks so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I have read so many forums and can't seem to solve this problem. Thanks any feedback will be much appreciated.
