Hey xboxscene! First time posting here  

Anyways heres my question according to DL discs:

Im getting my 360 modded on Saturday and was wondering if anyone has any experience with:

Burning with:

LG GSA-4163B

Able to write: DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD-RAM, CD-R, CD-RW
Write Speeds:

DVD+R 2.4X, 4X, 8X, 12X, 16X
DVD+RW 2.4X, 4X, 8X
DVD+R DL 2.4X, 4X
DVD-R 2X, 4X, 8X, 16X
DVD-RW 1X, 2X, 4X, 6X
DVD-RAM 2X, 3X, 5X(Ver.2.2)
CD-R 4X, 8X, 16X, 24X, 32X, 40X

And in the terms of Media, which one of these works better?

FujiFilm 2.4X 8.5GB Double Layer DVD+R

or

Memorex Double Layer 2.4X 8.5GB DVD+R


Thanks and I hope to be seeing you on this forum

As promised...

windows xp (sp2)
AMD Athlon 2800+
512mb ram
Samsung SH-D162© (kreon 8.1)
Pioneer 112(D)

Write @ 2.4x XBCr with 'fortis DVD+R 8.5GB DL'

Apart from one coaster (my own impatience... took 15mins to get past 'power calibration')

peace

Hi

I'll add mine so far..

I'm using CloneCD v5.2.9.1 & IMGBurn v2.2.0.0

I burn with a Pioneer 112D, Verbatim DVD+R DL (Stock 1.06 Firmware) @ 2.4x

@lunarx32: I burned Oblivion just with IMGBurn on above media, it seems to be long loading times too, must be normal..

Not sure what my Xbox 360 is, All I know is it's 'Xtreme'

I've not seen many mac people posting about their internal burners so...


Computer - Apple PPC iMac  
OS - OS X 10.4.9
Burner - Internal PIONEER DVR-K05 rev Q523
Software - iBurn360
Discs - Traxdata
(Still no ripping on the mac, PC only )


6 disks burnt so far, everyone working 100%!!

360 Drive: Samsung w/ 5.2 FW
Read: SH-D162C Kreon Drive
Read with Schtrom360Xtract 3.2
Burn: Pioneer 111D
Burn with ImgBurn
Media: TDK 2.4x DVD+R DL
Speed: 2.4x
OS: Windows Vista

Works fine.

Ripped several games, only burnt one so far, MotoGP 06, which works.

So i presume the rest that ive ripped in this method will also work.

Just burn an Hp-DL and works great
Burner is a LG gsa-4167b

happy backups
 

[ThaCrip]

Burner = Lite-On 1673S (JS0D firmware, newest)
Burned @ 2.4x (next time im going to try 4x, read below)
Burning App = ImgBurn v2.3.0.0
XBox360 DVD-ROM Drive = Samsung MS28 with xtreme 5.2A firmware
Media = Verbatim 2.4x/6x rated media (media code "MKM 001" , made in singapore) bought from newegg.com
ETC

so far only backed up 1 game but it works good "so far" as the xbox360 appears to have no problems reading it from listening to the drive etc.

p.s. game seems to work good and "so far" the xbox360 dont have problems reading the disc but i ran a "disc quality check" with Kprobe on my lite-on 1673S burner (which is a good burner to test quality of a disc on) and the PIE errors where good til near the end of the disc then they peaked out at about 428 which i heard 280 is general max you want... and my PIF's are within safe/good ranges (3 or less at any spike in the test) though and i heard those are more important than the PIE's errors... so i guess ill just have to throughly play the game and hopefully once it gets to late into the disc the reading will be good but if i do have problems it's going to be late in the second layer since the first layer was flawless basically.

so until i test this section out i cant say the game works 100percent but as of now it appears good.

also, from reading the forums over at club.cdfreaks.com (there basically experts in burning cd/dvd media in general) it appears that with my drive ill get noticeably better burns @ 4x from looking at disc quality scans in there forums on the same drive/media as me.... so my next game backup im going to burn @ 4x and see what happends

just posted this cause im sure some people will want to know this info

[ThaCrip]

ok i just wanted to update my post above... if you got a lite-on 1673S dvd burner with JS0D firmware and u got verbatim 2.4/6x rated ones from newegg.com's website, BURN your backup discs @ 4x. the quality is much better that way and i know this cause the xbox360 seems to read them better (not as much clicking noises etc comming from the drive, it seems much quiter reading a 4x burned disc) plus i did a disc quality check on them and the PIE's are in MUCH better/safer ranges now... i basically get pretty much perfect burns @ 4x burn speeds on those discs (dvd+r dl's)
