Ok heres what to do 1.Make dummys of all the _w.xmv files(rightclick ,new txt file, name the same as the file you are dummying) eg. death.xmv 2.Delete all the original _w.xmv files and replace with your dummys. 3.Build your iso with craxion or quix 4.Burn with dvd decrypter or another dvd.iso burning software. 5.play The .xmv files in TRL are of bonus videos after you finish the game. there are 2 versions of each a widescreen one and a normal one. We are deleteing the widescreen ones, if you want the widescreen one still just dummy the normal one .eg death.xmv(standard tv) death_w.xmv(widescreen) Have Fun
I kept the widescreen files and dummied the standard TV ones. That still only makes it 4.59GB from original size 4.67GB. That is still not small enough to fit on a DVD-5 !
12229psp, I tried that but the file is still too big to fit on a DVD5. EVen without the dummy files or the xmv files at all, it's clocking in at 4.52GB, and I guess I have to get it under 4.4?? Nero won't let me burn it.
The files are: layer1.000 layer2.000 layer1.001 layer2.001 layer1.002 layer2.002 layer1.003 layer2.003 layer1.004 layer2.004 layer1.005 layer2.005 layer1.006 layer2.006 layer1.007 layer2.007 layer1.008 layer2.008 layer1.009 layer2.009 layer1.010 layer2.010 layer1.011 layer2.011 layer1.012 layer2.012 layer1.013 layer2.013 layer1.014 layer2.014 layer1.015 layer2.015 layer1.016 default.xbe att1.xmv att1_w.xmv att2.xmv att2_w.xmv att3.xmv att3_w.xmv death.xmv death_w.xmv These are all the files from the open ISO. What files can i delete to make it fit onto a DVD-5?
DVD-5 is an acronym that means a DVD disc that is one-sided single-layer disc and can contain upto 4.38 gigabytes of data on it. DVD disc manufacturers love to use marketing terms and sell their discs as 4.7GB discs, but this is not true -- the 4.7GB is calculated by using so-called "Japanese gigabytes", where the power of calculations is 1,000 instead of 1,024 (and 1.024 is the correct way to calculate everything in computer world -- so, 1024 megabytes == 1 gigabyte).
This works as well use qwix to make the iso of the files and folders from your pc, but make sure you tick automatically cross-link identical files in qwix use nero 7 to burn the iso and set overburning on in the options menu
What does 'automatically cross-link identical files' actually do? I'm sure there must be another way I have never had to over burn an Xbox game (that’s including Halo 2). Thanks for the help though
Oakley28, AfterDawn has a glossary/terms guide. You really should read it before you make things up! Ref: http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/dvd-5.cfm And if that really did happen, what game was it, what burning software did you use, did you use overburn. . .
atomick What automatically cross-link identical files does is e.g. say that their is 2 or more identical videos files on the game disc, instead of copying the videos twice it copies it once and creates a link to tell the default.xbe where to find it, sort of like creating a shortcut on the pc desktop Also depending on what DVD media you are using you may not need to set the overburning
hey ive tried all that and the file fits on a dvd5,dummying the files,deleting them,cross linking them to get them to fit on the dvd..they fit yeah,about 4.3Gb but my xbox doesnt read the discs when i burn them
Ummm... isn't the original a DVD-5? Why would there be any trouble backing up a DVD-5 to DVD-5? Shouldn't it fit already, since that's where it came from? I don't get this thread. Hdloader/hdadvance can't do DVD-9, yet this game works perfectly fine with it (with the exception of PDA lockups), and the game size is only around 2.9G on the hard drive. You shouldn't have to delete or shrink anything. Of course, I'm commenting on the PS2 US version. Other versions might be larger.
Sharky - thanks for the heads up! I did a "Legend" keyword search and didn't pay attention to the category the thread was under. Please disregard, XBOX users.
