Hey guys, LONG time lurker here... but this is the first time I've never been able to figure something out by reading the posts on the forums. I just got my XBOX 360 back on Saturday, I sent it to a friend who flashed my launch day 360 with a Hitachi drive with the iXtreme 1.3 firmware.
Here is what I have tried so far:
-Tried 3 different backup images, all verified working by friends and check summing perfectly in XDVDMulleter.
-Burning disc using NEC ND-3540A DVD-RW at 2x and 4x
-Decided maybe the NEX burner is the problem, went out and bought a Pioneer DVR-112DBK.
-Burnt using the Pioneer DVR-112DBK at 2x and 4x with the firmware it came with (1.22).
-Burnt using the Pioneer DVR-112DBK at 2x and 4x with the most recent firmware (1.24).
-Using Verbatim DVD+R DL discs from Singapore.
-Tried burning in ImgBurn and the latest CloneCD, all discs burnt and verified.
Here's the weird thing, the discs I burn, I can throw in my computer's DVD-RW drive and checksum them with XDVDMulleter and they match PERFECTLY with the image file. Also, as I said above, they verify perfectly after the burn. From reading around on the various forums it seems like with my set up, the only thing I can possibly do wrong is to not use a .dvd file to set the right layer split.
According to everything I've read I'm doing everything right... yet every backup I throw in my 360 that I've burnt is reported as "Unplayable Disc"! When I insert a disc I can hear about 10-20 seconds of what sounds
