IMGBURN INSTALL
You can download Imgburn at Imgburn.com and use the installer.

When   used through XBCr do not set the layerbreak to manual, XBCr will manage   this for you. In Tools>>Settings>>Write>>Options   >>Layerbreak should be "Calculate Optimal". If your not using XBCr   and just Imgburn to burn your games you need the "LayerBreak:" number   1913760 enter this in but don't for get to remove it after you use XBCr,   also set your "Book Type" Read on...

With the latest x360   firmware the booktype setting at DVD-ROM is not required, but it does   not hurt. You can set it in Tools>>Drive>>Change Book   Type/'Your burner Brand' select 'Change For:' to a 'DVD +R DL MEDIA' and   in 'New Setting' choose DVD-ROM + hit Change. Note this can only be   done with a DVD + DL disc in the drive. Also your drive might not be   support by Imgburn for this, Book Type is Selected Automatic when using   Imgburn look under "Write Tab" for the Option. If the Drive in Tools are   grey Press Ctrl+Alt+W Hover over the Icon's Under "Setting" Change Book   Type then repeat the first step above.

Everything is good to go,   open Imgburn then select your  .DVD file you have just created from the   Ripping (NOT the .ISO which will make a   difference). select the Write Speed then burn your game.

Caring for Optical Media
Some people believe that optical discs and drives are indestructible when compared to their magnetic counterparts. Actually, modern optical drives are far less reliable than modern hard disk drives. Reliability is the bane of any removable media, and CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs are no exceptions.

By far the most common causes of problems with optical discs and drives are scratches, dirt, and other contamination. Small scratches or fingerprints on the bottom of the disc should not affect performance because the laser focuses on a point inside the actual disc, but dirt or deep scratches can interfere with reading a disc.

To remedy this type of problem, you can clean the bottom surface of the CD with a soft cloth, but be careful not to scratch the surface in the process. The best technique is to wipe the disc in a radial fashion, using strokes that start from the center of the disc and emanate toward the outer edge. This way, any scratches will be perpendicular to the tracks rather than parallel to them, minimizing the interference they might cause. You can use any type of solution on the cloth to clean the disc, so long as it will not damage plastic. Most window cleaners are excellent at removing fingerprints and other dirt from the disc and don't damage the plastic surface.

If your disc has deep scratches, they can often be buffed or polished out. A commercial plastic cleaner such as that sold in auto parts stores for cleaning plastic instrument cluster and tail-lamp lenses is very good for removing these types of scratches. This type of plastic polish or cleaner has a very mild abrasive that polishes scratches out of a plastic surface. Products labeled as cleaners usually are designed for more serious scratches, whereas those labeled as polishes are usually milder and work well as a final buff after using the cleaner. Polishes can be used alone if the surface is not scratched very deeply.

Most people are careful about the bottom of the disc because that is where the laser reads, but the top is actually more fragile! This is because the lacquer coating on top of the disc is very thin, normally only 67 microns (0.240.28 thousandths of an inch). If you write on a disc with a ball point pen, for example, you will press through the lacquer layer and damage the reflective layer underneath, ruining the disc. Also, certain types of markers have solvents that can eat through the lacquer and damage the disc as well. You should write on discs only with felt tip pens that have compatible inks, such as the Sharpie or Staedtler Lumocolor brand, or other markers specifically sold for writing on CDs. In any case, remember that scratches or dents on the top of the disc are more fatal than those on the bottom. It's also important to keep in mind that many household chemicals (and even certain beverages), if spilled on an optical disc, can damage the coating and cause the material to crack or flake off. This, of course, renders the media useless.
