NO, it's NOT normal. If you burned the game files from the PC then you should be able to read the disk in the PC. You're bypassing the copy protection so that part is not on you disc. Some gay people just don't know what they're talking about.

Yes, I should have mentioned that... the ISOs are not a recognizable Windows File System. Only the Xbox or a special progam can access the files once they are burned to CD or DVD

i don't think it's security features that keep people from being able to read the games. i think it's the UDF format. Anyway, you can't read them through windows

All of mine read fine. Strange. Do you burn from .iso or game files?

from .iso, with nero. so far i haven't been able to burn a working game without creating an iso first

OK. I just FTP the files from XBOX to PC folder. Then I burn the FOLDER (not .iso) to a disc (RecordNow MAX - UDF-no Joliet-DAO). I don't bother making .iso(s) because it's unnecessary and extends the process. I don't upload to an FTP server either, so no need for one big .iso file. My way you can read the disc in the PC.

very interesting...too bad i can't do it that way. it would make it much easier to make backups of backups

Yup I second that. B4 I did the drag and drop method I burned an iso . I wasn't able to read it. I now use folders and burn (drag and drop) and can read the files perfectly. Great for messing around with rad tools. Add your own movies clips or soundtracks!

Doa 3 would pretty kool with Biggie or Tupac in the background! =)
