OK, I know this is a lot to ask, but here goes. I have a 360 with a samsung drive. I don't have any idea how to do all this. Could any of you tell me if there is a step by step guide where to start. I need everything from the beginning. i have a dl dvd burner but I don't know anything about how to do the firmware or make back ups of my games. Any thing would be greatly appreciated. I just don't want to end up with a $400 paper weight. Thanks,

Jason

I came to this site just like you. But after a lot of reading, I can say I'm understanding everything when before it seemed like another language. I used to think there should be a more n00b friendly guide, but no I know there shouldn't. Just read everything in thet pinned threads. Eventually you'll get it.

FYI... even though my pioneer dvr-111d doesn't support bitsetting... backups work fine
using hp media and verbatim...

what program did you use to burn? thank you, any specific settings. I also have the pioneer DVR-111D TIA for the help

FYI....this tip for bitsetting via DVDInfo saved me from giving up on the whole thing.
First, I wasn't sure if my firmware upgrade went 100% because after 4 coasters (must play in xbox 360 message and unreadbale disc message) I had no luck. I was using Verbatim and Memorex DL @ 2.4x on NEC ND-2510A Firmware 2.18 burning with Record Now....big mstake! I downloaded CloneCD and still no luck. Then, I found this post and downloaded DVDInfo and lo and behold....success!!! I was 2 for 2 on burning backup images with CloneCD and DVD-ROM bitsetting until I came across a bad image and an ISO that won't work. I seem to be having success with the images that are .DVD and .000 not .ISO or any image not 7,572,881,408 bytes in size.

P.S. Any tutorials on creating .DVD/.000 images from .ISO that work?
Just in case you're looking for a deal....I just picked up three 15-pack spindles of Memorex DL 2.4x for $24.99/each from Best Buy. Not a bad deal since the Memorex discs seem to be working for me and are decent quality.

Hey Guys,

Do anybody know, if i can bitset with my LG-GSA4163B DVD-Burner?
I got the newest Firmware A105, but with DVDINFOPRO it is not possible to do bitsetting with this Burner.
I found a tool with with it should work. But I don't know if it really affect anything, when applying.

Can anyone help me?

Thanx

2nd question: Does it means that if it would work, my Hitachi XBOX-DVD Player could read the burned things?

HI guys !
Burned 3 coasters then suddenly discovered this "book type".

However having just spent £30 I now find that the Pioneer 111D doesnt support bitsettings ! Is this why I have the 3 coasters ??

Any help or advice would be welcome.

Hello,
I searched and i didn´t find any info about it..

i have asus 1608p and asus 1608p3s.

So far i tried with the 1608p and the program dvd info pro, when i try to change my setting it says it seems my burner don´t support bitsetting.. but then i know from a friend who was able to burn backups with this burner.

So my question is..if someone have some info about this particular burner ?

I was able to change the bitsetting on my LG4163A burner. Firmware A105.

I used the DvdInfoPro as instructed at the top. Then used CloneCD.

The disc burned fine and as DvD-Rom.. but when i put it into the X360 it thinks it's an Audio CD.

Any ideas??

Does the new media stealh patch allow burns to work without setting the booktype? Anyone try it?

Hi all,

I'm zebra - one of the creators of DVDInfoPro, amongst other things...

I noticed some people having problems with Booktype transgression within DVDInfoPro et al with their Pioneer drives. The best advice I can give you, is as follows:

1. Natively, the DVR- series kernel's do not support DVD+R/DVD+R DL --> ROM booktyping

2. The buffalo and "L" series kernel's DO support DVD+R --> ROM and DVD+R DL --> ROM natively

3. By NATIVE I mean that no user intervention is required when using the L or R series kernel. It will do it automatically unless you FORCE otherwise. The BTF field is pre-set to send that byte as DVD-ROM mode, rather than DVD+R etc.

Additionally, most other Pioneer unit's as far back as the 107/A07XLA have a buffalo variant, if you *really* need it.

All 107/8/9/10/11 unit's have the ability to DVD+R --> ROM and +R DL --> ROM should you so desire. In depth flashing guide for the CURRENT units, such as the A11XLA series can be found here.

Don't hesitate to call on us, if you need help.

Cheers.
