Hi guys im quite new to this and have been registered here for awhile but learning by reading up on the guides and searching through the forums the best i can. I thought i had managed to grasp it all but got a write error on my 1st burn so thought i best ask for a little bit of help if you dont mind?

I know i will look like a noob asking questions but please believe me when i say i have searched and wished i could find the answer myself.

Anyways ive ripped my original copy of MOHA using my Samsung DVD drive with Kreon V0.81 firmware to my harddrive using XBox backup Creator 2.6 following your back up guide (http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=588763)

But when i come to write it with imgburn i get this write error see link below:

(IMG:http://stashbox.org/43388/write%20error.jpg)

the DVD burner im using is LITE-On DVDRW SOHW-1633S BSOC

Ive set imgburn up so its set the bitsetting up on my Lite on drive to DVD-ROM

Im also using Verbatim DVD+R DL media

Oh and i left splitvid ticked on xbox backup creator is this wise to leave this on?

Hope thats all the info you guys need?

Has anyone got any idea whats going wrong?

Thanks alot

If your using good media which you are, and i can see your burning at 2x which is good, i would then guess it to be the DVD burner at fault. Check all connections and try again, if that dont work then id think about investing in another burner.

Thanks for the fast reply, yeah im burning at 2x speed.

Ive also got another burner i could try a HP dvd writer dvd630.

otherwise i will have to get a Pioneer 111 or 112 but was trying to get by without buying another burner as already got 2 lol

Personally, and this is just my opinion, but im not much of a fan of the Pioneer burners, i had a 111D and i got about 25 or 30 burns out of it before it died. NEC on the other hand seem to last alot longer, im currently using an NEC Optiarc AD-7170s SATA burner, and its been burning very well for about 6 months now, and for £23 its a bargain.

Where abouts did u get that NEC burner from then? Any links?

Have a look HERE for one in the UK.

I got mine from a shop near me which is really cheap (Laindon, Essex), i get my DL disks there aswell, 10 Mirror DL disks for £7, cant beat that can you

Thanks for the link.

Anyone else have any other idea what might be wrong or worth me trying before i buy another burner?

yes, your burner

. liteon 1633 was amongst the first attempt at DVD DL (only 2.4x speed) and is far from optimal for DL burning.

I am the opposite of previous poster (sorry), had bad experience with nec (in fact a sony made by nec) but pioneer and liteon gave me great performance (still have a A05 in use !!!). I would vote pioneer 112 and if sata is required the Liteon,

That said, like anything else if you get unlucky and get a bad unit (nec, pioneer)...

Can anyone answer if the below link is a drive that will work for back-ups before i buy it?

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125215

I think it is as its a pioneer but i wanted to check so as not to waste any money

Edem · « **Reply #9 on:** October 15, 2007, 03:58:00 AM »

I have the same problem with pioneer 111d (imgburn)

chrisvenn · « **Reply #10 on:** October 15, 2007, 06:24:00 AM »

So it might not be my burner then if u have a pioneer and get the same write error with imgburn.

Has any1 else anything i should try before changing my burner?
(also if i have to get a pioneer is the link a few posts above one that will burn them?)

Edem: Have u made back-ups before or is this your 1st try aswell? If it is there might be somthing we both are doing wrong, but what that is i dont know. Would it be anything to do with splitvid?

Ive had another thought if i update the firmware on the liteon (is that possible) will it make it any better?

It definitely could make a difference so I would give it a shot. On a side note, another vote for the Pioneer here.

Stupid question where would i find liteon firmware to update my drive has any1 any links or is it a case of just google seaching? (The reason im asking is im at work at the mo so cant go searching and downloading things so if there was a link i could click it when home)

Nevermind found the liton site with the firmware update for my drive
