I have been troubling myself for the last two weeks to be able to make backups of my original xbox360 disks and i can say for sure that the pionner 111d drive and the Vebratim disks is the way to go.I tried everything on my previous drive the nec 3540a along a couple of brands of dvds(including Vebratim) and nothing worked.So people if you want success you should buy the pionner drive and rest easy.My XBOX360 dvd drive is the HITACHI 46d hacked with 1.1 version of the released firmware from Commodore4eva.

How do they run at X8? Any tricks required?

I burned mine at 6X and they require me to cold-boot them.

Burns at 2.4x on verbs from a pio 110 work perfectly in my 46DH.

i burn at 4x. the slowest speed a pioneer will burn is 2.4x based on watching the thing burn. if you ask for 1x it still burns at like 3200k/sec .

Besides who wants to wait 35+ mins for a coaster or game

I wonder what makes this pioneer so compatable with 360 drives.

From what I can tell the quality of the pioneer burns is just superior. I have been reading up on this due to the quality of burns coming our of my Benq 1655 (and although rated well, I think mine is fried). I went with the Pioneer. It will be here this afternoon. I will post a follow up. So far I have not been able to get anything to boot, cold or otherwise.

my pioneer is fantastic. cheap too.

verbatims are also as good as it gets. the only coaster I made was a burn I tried at 8x. It just wouldn't boot. When I burned it at 6x, it worked perfectly.

I mean I have an LG and it makes perfect backups for the Samsung but many have said it's a no go for the Hitachi.

you guys ever wonder if the pio is just brand new and compared to that tired dvd burner we've been using for the last six months it might be the fact that its new. I pulled an old Lite-on SOHW-1693s(never burnt anything on it) that was too noisy for my tasting on bootup, out of the dust and it works just as well as the PIO 111D with my hitachi and verbatim.

new laser
write strategy for verbatim

probably has alot to do with it. Assuming all other drives are brand new and can book type??

its not fair to compare a drive thats backed up 100's of dvd's/cd's (personal backups) to something brand new out of the box.

Good point, I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah , at 8x they are needing the trick, moving back to 2.4x......

Oh yeah just to explain how i made a nec a pioneer,

1. Bestbuy 80$ (the 80$ they have is a pio 111d)
2. put nec in pio box( I altered bar code on nec sticker with a pen but it does not have any Nec branding whatsoever.
3. Bring box back to bestbuy.

SHHHH!

Thats a neat trick, anyways, what's the media code on your verbatim discs? Cause I think you have to have a certain media code in order to successful burn at 8x just as good as 2.4x. I think you need MKM 003
