and see if you can get the progress meter to by a progress bar or something. I wasn't sure what that was for awhile

I have an external pioneer 111D, with iburn 360 would I just burn it with the recommended settings and it should work? Or does iBurn only apply for matshita drives?

No, iBurn should work with any dual layer drive that your mac recognizes... Your 111D will be fine (And the default setting for layer break is what it needs to be for xbox 360 games).

i tried burning a backup of one of my games on a powermac g5 dual 2.7ghz, with my internal pioneer dvr-109 drive, the burn finished sucessfully, but upon testing it in my xbox 360, it showed up as "PLAY MOVIE"

any ideas?

or does it not work with the dvr-109 drive? my understanding is the drive needs to set the booklet type correctly right? im unsure, please let me know something, if there is a workaround or fix for this that i am unaware of, thank you!

Make sure you have the latest hacked firmware flashed to your 360's DVD drive... It is set to ignore bitsetting.

You can potentially reflash the burner in your g5 with a hacked firmware that bitsets DVD+R DL to DVD-Rom using dvr flash...

also have the 109 d and everything works great,did u patch the image??

thanks for the quick response appleguru, it's been awhile, but i don't remember what version my xbox360 fw is that i am using, i believe its xtreme 4.1a or so? So if thats the case, do i still need to update my xbox's fw or should i reflash my pioneer dvr-109 burner?

if the answer to my question is the latter, where can i find the firmware that will bitset DVD+R DL to DVD-ROM on my pioneer dvr-109. I really don't want to end up bricking my burner in my g5...

to mmr, yes i believe so? I am using a windows machine to make an image of my backups using xbox 360 backup creator and a samsung dvd-rom drive with a patch that will allow it to read xbox360 media.

Either solution will likely work fine, though it's probablly best just to reflash your burner...

First, I need to know what firmware your burner has on it at the moment.. You can check in apple system profiler.

okay firmware revision is A912 it says...

also what version of xtreme ignores the bitsetting?

v3.1 and newer of the xtreme firmware ignores bitsetting...

Looks like you'll want to use the 2.1 GUI of DVRFlashX and the 109_858 rcp1 firmware to flash your burner... Info on autobitsetting with the 109 is sketchy at best though, so I may be wrong :/

but i am using xtreme v4.1, so why isn't it working? the xbox recognizes the backup as a movie and not a game... im using verbatim dvd+r dl too, so i'm not sure what the problem is.

No need; I'm sure it's the same.

In any case, looks like we don't have a bug afterall; confirmation of the current build working on both intel and ppc macs with 10.4.9.

idog, one feature request for the next version that shouldn't be too hard... Make iBurn check for drives at bootup (IE, run a "refresh" when its opened)

Yup, will do that. have fired up the old xcode tonight.
Already added the extra option (at patch : Continue without patching).
And.. split files are finally supported. So .000-.007 will be converted to one big file, works great (tested it myself), you do need approx. 7gb free though. Detection of split files is automatic by the way.
Using cat, btw. If someone has a nicer solution (I was hoping for something like an append instead of a copy of all the parts into one big new image, but cat seems to be the only solution I found so far).

edit : check for drives at bootup is included now.

You could make it recursively do something like this (Psuedo code):

CODE

int num = 2, fileExist = 1;

while (fileExist != 0)
{

cat file[num] >> file1;
rm file[num];
filenum++;
if (File.filenum does not exist) {fileExist = 0;}
else num++;

}

That would only ever use an extra amount of space equal to one file part... and would leave the user with one big file in the end. If you do go that route, make sure to pop up a dialog asking the user if its ok to combine their files. I actually like your way better though; uses a lot of space yes... but it does leave the user's original files in tact. Just make sure you delete the image after you make it that way

Also, add the icon for this release

Yup, figured that one out tonight when I couldn't sleep. GMTA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I'll leave both options open for the user. ('Keep original files' yes/no).

The icon stuff is indeed planned for 0.20.
