Hello,

I have a quick question about media.  I just modded my X360 and tried to backup a game and all I had was Playo DL.  Well, it worked great!  My question is, since Playo is so cheap are there any problems with using them?  I haven't had any problems or lockups.  How about the laser, will it die sooner since I am using Playo?  I was going to pick up 25 pack of Verbs for $64.99, but so expensive!

Thanks,

MD

There are no guarantees with cheap media and there is no such thing as consistency (ie knowing what manufacturer or quality standards to expect from pack to pack).  As for Verbatims, where are you buying them?  A BMW dealership?   Verbatim can be had for so much less.  Check out the prices at newegg.  About $27 shipped for a 20 pack.

Whats up guys I am a little late finding this great site. Is there a certain ISO software that I should use and I should be buying the Verbatims made In Sangapore

Read the stickies man! And yes, you should be buying the Verbatims that are Made in Singapore.

An entire pack of Verbatims i bought from newegg.com is crap.  The packaging on them is different than the picture here newegg
and they do say MIS, so i dunno
I told them about it, hopefully they offer me something.

I've had some bad burns on two spindles that I recently got from Newegg that were MIS.  Close to 50%.  They had the same packaging as previous spindles though.

I obtained some Maxell's DVD+R DL some time ago, code is RITEK-D01-01. I've had ~10 various burns and all are in perfectly working order. The burner was LG GSA-4163B on which only Verbatims, 2.4x speed Emtec and Maxells can be burned. Various low-quality media and high-speed media is not supported by this burner as far as I know.

Hey guys. I'm about to purchase my first set of DL discs. Do you still recommend the verbatims from Newegg? Or should I look for a different brand...
Oh and are the Datalifeplus discs better than the standard ones?

Thanks.

Datalife plus only pertains to the single layer discs last time I checked.  For double layer discs the only variables are official write speed and the country of origin.

I just got back from Sams.  50 pack of Verbatim's made in Singapore. 59 dollars.

D/L DVD-R as a whole is a format that is worthless and overpriced, NOT TO MENTION IT WON'T WORK ON ANY OF THE 360 DRIVES!!!!!!!!!  

Ok people.. I'm gonna solve the issues about DVD-R DL this for once and for all..

It IS POSSIBLE to burn xbox 360 games to a DVD-R DL disc with the mRDL 1.1 program.
The program can be downloaded here: www.mediafire.com/?mnxmln2z5wj

Just click the -R tab when u open up the program.

Use Verbatim DVD-R DL. I haven't tried other brands so feel free to try... please report about it.


Since you cannot and won't have to set the layer break on DVD-R DL media you only need to select the Iso and burn in mRDL 1.1 without any changes in settings.


Important notes:

- It doesn't work on Hitachi xbox 360 drives. So if your xbox 360 has a Hitachi drive the game is over... stick to +DL then. Google to find out which drive you have.


This is confirmed working on Samsung, BenQ and Lite-On xbox 360 drives.

- Haven't tried the latest format XGD3 games on DVD-R DL, I'll edit this post as soon as i've tried it.



-My new burner, Lite-On IHAS124B will be delivered tomorrow with the Ixtreme Burner Max firmware so I'll try to burn XGD3 games with it and the mRDL 1.1 program.
Maybe I can get it to work with my current Samsung SH-S223 burner. I'll also report about it if that's the case.

For the record: I used the Samsung Sh-S223 burner when I burned Verbatim DVD-R DL discs.
Actually I think the burner is not such a big deal.. You people need to report about it I can't test every brand of media or burner. So it's up to you people to provide us with that information.



Unfortunately there are people who say it doesn't work and that is because:

- You people never tried it.

- You people have Hitachi xbox 360 drives --> IT WON'T WORK ON HITACHI

- You people are not using Verbatim DVD-R DL media.


I'm so sick and tired of convincing the world that I play at least 10 backups on DVD-R DL media from Verbatim because I ordered it by accident.



I'm a very determined person to make things work and I have now

For the complaining people:

- This is not bullshit, don't come up with that crap
- I don't care if it's posted before... it seems like nobody knows about it.

Just lettin' people know that it works.
