Well to let you guys know even though I have the superdrive in my macbook it does not support burning dual layer dvd's so that is why it was giving me this message. I've ordered a external dual layer burner to resolve my issue. Thanks for all the help. I though for sure my burner was dual layer hehe.

Thanks for the great tutorial, I followed it step by step. I use Verbatim dl's and this is the output in the terminal :

Everything peachy, you'd think. I pop it into my 360 and it gives me an Unrecognized Disc error

I'm using an external Pioneer DVR-111D, fw 1.23. My system is an iMac 20" Intel Core Duo 2.0 ghz with 2GB Ram. OS X 10.4.7, single partition.

When I use this drive on an XP Laptop and use CloneCD I can burn backups without problems (using the same verbatim disks), not a single coaster to date..

Anyone got a clue to why it doesn't work (to be sure it's not the imagefile which is faulty, I've written the same iso (of course in conjuction with the .dvd file) on the XP Laptop with CloneCD and it worked like a charm..)

[appleguru]

First and foremost, you guys ROCK.

I have a macbook pro, 2.33GHz c2d with a crappy matshita drive.

This burning method worked PERFECTLY; The burn was even auto-bitset to DVD-Rom (I guess the drive does at least something OK...).

So, anyways, I built an installer for you guys to save a bunch of steps... Just download, double click, and run growisofs!

Enjoy!

It's possible your drive isn't bitsetting the burn to DVD-Rom and that your 360's formware doesn't ignore the bitsetting....

You can try to use dvd+rw-booktype, but I haven't found out a way to make it work in OS X yet (mainly because you only get a logical device in OS X from a removable drive with media present... and you need the drive empty to do a bitsetting change). You can likely permanently change it in windows and not have to worry about it though...

In addition to my internal burner, I have an NEC 3540A in an external firewire/usb2 case... Just used it with growisofs to burn at 8x

The one nice thing about the NEC.. is that there are OS X flashing utilities for it (binflash ), which also lets you do bitsetting changes and see the drives current stats:

That's very odd, since this type of drive (Pioneer 111D) does auto-bitsetting (it's not even possible to manually do bitsetting (not even in Windows). That's one of the reasons why this drive is widely recommended for xbox360 backups... you can't screw up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks for your tutorial. I created something similar (at least, the latter part (commandline). Copied most of the commandline in a script (burn.sh) which takes a parameter (the iso).  I drag the burn.sh to the terminal, then drag the iso file to it and press enter. I'll try and fabricate a graphical frontend in cocoa when I feel really brave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[mrmr]

i have the same problems with some backups like u mention above .
burnproceed ended with no errors .when i put into xbox360 get also an disc error..
like i know now the good made backups will show in finder as an xbox360 dvd ,the other ones which dont run on xbo360 the finder will ask what to do with disk ,finder thinks its empty ?!?!

only time disc showed up as an xbox60 dvd ,but when the xbox360 started to read showed me the first screen but then says dirty disc is with the backup of splinter cell double..can get it to run

[appleguru]

Dunno :/ All the discs I've burned with my internal matshita drive @ 2.4x and my external NEC 3540A drive work fine.. They also mount in OS X as an Xbox 360 disc (and play the "Put this game in an xbox 360 console" video.

idog: feel free to share your shell script I was going to make one myself, but I'm still trying to figure out how we can automaticaly detect which device(s) are dual layer dvd drives.

[milocoon]

I`ve discovered the solution to burning IMAGE.000 or Game.iso  that won`t work using the previous method.

There are 2 types of Images.

WXRIPPER created  these will burn fine and these will mount on your desktop!

EXTREME style these put the layer Break in the wrong place and they won`t mount on your desktop!

Open the Terminal
Navigate to where your IMAGE.000 is
Type file IMAGE.000
If the result is data then thats an EXTREME style.

Read Below for the FIX.


HOW TO PATCH AN EXTREME style IMAGE.000 in Mac OSX

First thing is to download imgbpatch and unrar it from this URL  http://www.bewhere.co.uk/imgbpatch_java.rar
Mine is on my desktop.
My IMAGE.000 is in a folder on my desktop called Rainbow6 and I`ve put the program imgbpatch.jar from above in the same folder.

Open the Terminal
Welcome to Darwin!
82-32-42-19:~ milocoon$ cd /Users/milocoon/Desktop/Rainbow6/
To check if its an EXTREME or WXRIPPER file
82-32-42-19:~/Desktop/Rainbow6 milocoon$ file IMAGE.000
IMAGE.000: data
This means its an EXTREME .data file
82-32-42-19:~/Desktop/Rainbow6 milocoon$ java -jar imgbpatch.jar IMAGE.000
XBOX360 ISO Patcher for IMGBurn v1.0 by JSR/iND
Usage : java -jar imgbpatch.jar <filename>
Finished!
To check the patching worked.
82-32-42-19:~/Desktop/Rainbow6 milocoon$ file IMAGE.000
IMAGE.000: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'XBOX360                         '
82-32-42-19:~/Desktop/Rainbow6 milocoon$
Notice the new name for this file now.

Its a successful patch, now lets burn it.

Whoops.. I knew I missed something in the linux thread

Updating my tutorial with this info to hopefully save people coasters.

New version of the installer with imgbpatch.java:

whoa thats so cool ,will buy new dvds on monday so many backups to patch

thank u very much

[vipercompany]

I registered just to say THANK YOU to everyone in this thread, especially to MILOCOON and APPLEGURU. Now I can finally burn the images. I've burnt 11 so far with 3 coasters (because I didnt know about the imgbpatch). Then I decided to come back to thread and ask if the same was happening to anyone else (coasters) and it seems someone beat me too it, and milocoon already found the fix. Again, Thank You!

i'm seeing if i can make some kind of gui for it, including a dropdown of recorders and a box where you can drag the iso in (patching will be done automatically)..  results will be posted in this thread

have got a rough version created in cocoa, most of the stuff is in it, now going for the recorder/disc detection ...
