                   The Xbox performs no CRC checks on the DVD when it reads data in.

As a result it can read in data from DVDs that it is actually having a problem reading. The code that gets loaded into RAM can therefor be bad, or the sound file it's playing, etc., etc., etc.

I've had several ISO's exhibit the problem you describe.

Sometimes I've resorted to "unpacking" the ISO and using STOMP to reburn the image. This works perfectly for me.

If you try to burn a MAME image you'll have nothing but trouble. The same contents burned with PRASSI or STOMP work perfectly.

Now I wish someone would explain why this is?

                   1) Try NOT using PRASSI to burn IMAGES (ISO). Instead unpack the ISO contents and burn it as a DATA disk in PRASSI.

I use DiskJuggler for Images and STOMP for DATA disks.

2) If your other disks boot up, assume a bad rip. People often omit nested files as their xfers crap out.

3) Try other media. Are you burning to DVD-R? Programs that exhibit this problem under other media, (e.g. CD-RW) seem to work fine under DVD-R.

4) Try an original. Do they freeze as well?

5) Could the laser lense or optics be dusty?
