Good stuff... I'm trying to use a 7.94GB DVD Movie as a swap, but after closely following the directions, I get the error about "hotswap DVD too small" or something. Tryin to back up Condemned NTSC.

I disassembled my HP DVD200i, that was fun.

Maybe this only works for DL burners?

Oh well, I'll keep trying! Next, I think I'll try the laptop suspend mode. Thanks for the awesome tools.

Update: Nope, no luck there either. I still get "Error : hotswap DVD is too small" I've read that some people got it to work with 7.8gig DVD's before. Hmm. Maybe Condemned is just a really big game?

It's not about Condemned because you don't even need to swap the DVD to clic on 'Find magic number'.

wxRipper musn't tell you the DVD is too small with a 7,94GB DVD.
The minimum size must be 7838760960 bytes (if you speak in GB it's 7,3GB)

Are you sure to do the hotswap correctly ? Try to clic on 'Find magic number' BEFORE swapping the DVD.

I'm proud to announce that you can rip your 360 games without having to swap the dump. simply put the game in your drive read this post from maxconsole and your set.

What part of with a computer and hotswap method don't you understand. If you are talking about viewing the disc contents without having to dump....that was posted a few days ago by Gael360, who is the one who started this thread...pretty sure he would post any new findings like no swap required.

Thanks for the reply, I was doing the swap method incorrectly - I didn't realize the swap came AFTER I clicked on "Find Magic Number" - thanks! So sorry to waste your time!

However, I now get the same error as the other person: "Unhandled exception... (more text) Data error (cyclic redundancy check)." This is probably something wrong with my drive, right? I'll try another computer.

Anyway thanks again!!

kgonepostl: terrible link!

Well, I'm using A NEC 3540A DVD DL Burner...

Tried PGR3 using The Matrix as Hotswap DVD

Still having the drive in my pc I first tried the emergency hole...

Burner gave an error on line 3... and skipped 3 and 4

Line 5,6 and 7 worked perfect...

I then went to see the isofile... 3.7 GIG

Meaning it had only copied the 2nd layer...

Then I read the topic a bit more, changed the 3 first lines of the layoutfile into D's

Now dumps Line 4,5,6 and 7 with no error, and iso file is 7.434.926.080KB = 6.92GB

Is there any thing wrong now or doesn't it matter if the first 3 steps are dummied???

I do like the fact I can now copy the Classical Music from PGR3 onto my pc using wx360

Yes : your DVD drive doesn't like the bad sectors between LBA19408 & LBA20479. LBA20480 isn't a bad sector, but your drive has problem to align the lens on LBA20480...
What you can do to have a raw dump :

1 - Clic on 'Find magic number', the action list is generated
2 - Save the action list to a layout file (File/Save layout file...)
3 - Edit the layout file with notepad, you should have these 3 first lines :

C19408
D1072
C109344

if you want to make an ISO with the XDVDFS session starting at LBA129824, like a raw dump, replace these 3 lines with these ones :

D19408
D1072
D109344

if you just want to dump the XDVDFS session, use these :

J19408
J1072
J109344

Then save the file, and open it from wxRipper.

Start the dump, it should work without error.

Hi, an update on my experience:

I took apart another DVD drive (at least I'm getting pretty good at this! haha) because of the cyclic redundancy errors while using my main computer's HP DVD200i burner. Tried the laptop route, but for some reason it spins up the drive automatically when it resumes from standby. Oh well. This other drive, seems to be dumping to an extent! Pressing "Find Magic Number" before the swap definitely was my first issue, thanks for the heads up on that - you might want to update your instructions on the first page of this thread. It says to press "Find Magic Number" after the swap.

Now I'm in the same boat as MacDennis... it stopped on line 4 and asked that I insert the swap DVD again.

But I followed your fix and modified my layout file like so:

D19408
D1072
D109344

Could you maybe go into further detail about what this does? Maybe what the difference between setting the lines to "J's" as opposed to "D's?" Obviously D is for Dummy and J is for Jump, but I'm assuming this is data we don't need in our final ISO... or do I need to "splice" these pieces (now showing as "Dummy") back into my final ISO later on? (I'm talking about the sizes 19408, 1072, and 109344.) Just wanna be sure it's not missing out on anything.

Anyway, it's in the middle of dumping, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks again, Gael! Keep up the awesome work.

Sorry for the lame question but i have gone though all my DVDs and i keep getting DVD not big enough errors.

What size should my swap DVD Movie be in windows explorer and i tried 7.9gb and it was not big enough.

And could anyone recommend a good working DVD movie?

Also could someone please clarify that i am doing this in the right order on my laptop.

1. Open Wxripper
2. Insert DVD And Wait for Windows to See it.
3. Press Stop Drive
4. Press Find Magic Number And Wait for it to be Found
5. Suspend Laptop
6. Swap DVD Movie With Game.
7. Take Laptop Out Of Standby Mode
8. Now What?

It's getting very confusing because some people say Find magic number before swap and some same find it after swap.....

Im using the movie Gladiator (7.8 gb), this is what i do

1- Insert DVD movie
2- open wxripper
3- click Find magic number
4- Stop drive spin
5- Swap DVD's
6- click Spin Drive

After that i can explore the game using wx360. Im using a desktop PC, but u get the idea of what you could try. Hope any of that helps.

Hey, 7.9 is big enough... Here are the steps that [sort of] worked for me:

0. (Take apart DVD drive)
1. Open Wxripper
2. Insert DVD And Wait for Windows to See it.
3. Press Find Magic Number And Wait for it to be Found
4. Press Stop
5. Lift off DVD
6. Carefully place 360 game on the drive, replace the magnet
8. Click Dump, choose filename for iso

In other news... I tried messing with the layout file, and I still got this error:

IPB Image

Ya know, DVD burners are pretty cheap now. I found a Pioneer DVR-110 16X Dual Layer DVD±RW Drive for $46... Hitman do you happen to know the difference btwn the 110 and 110D? I think I'm gonna buy the 110. My dvd burner is so old and shitty anyway.

Edit: The only difference I can see is that the 110 has DVD-RAM support and the 110D does not. Hmm.
