I am having a problem getting my xbox to read any of the games that I have backed up. I have the v1.2XBOX with samsung drive and xecuter 2.3b lite. The ONLY media I have gotten to sucessfully play a game backed up was the generic DVD+RW that came with my dvd burner. I have tried Ritek g4 dvd-r's, maxell dvd+r, Imation dvd-rw all with no sucess. After placing them in the drive the dashboard reads the media then says unknown. If a disk fails i repeat the burning with the +rw that works just to make sure it was burnt right and it works fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i have 2 xboxs, both with thomson drives. one reads better than the other. to make things short and simple, u have to try out the dvds urself. i can't give u a deffinite answer on which will work best, use process of elimination

This thread is really long and difficult to find information. I dont suppose somebody with a lot of time on there hands is willing to put this data into some form of spreadsheet?

I'm a noob experiencing problems with Verbatim -R DVD's. I have a Philips XBOX DVD and I've been burning with a TDK dual format burner using Nero.

If anyone has any suggestions on the best combination of hardware,software and media I would appreciate it.

Cheers

That's a lot of reading.
Everybody seems to have got something to work, and most brands work somewhere.

As far as I can see, Ritek are the most popular, with Princo's running close (due to price).

Can anyone comment on Princo's tendency to go bad over time (I have read many reports of this)?

thanks

Its strange how each DVD drive varies to what it can read or what it cant read.

A friend of mine has a Thomson drive, his one can read Princo DVD-R whitetops and the Princo DVD-RW but not my Ritek DVD-R silvertops.

My drive is exactly opposite..

Well.. one of those things I guess.

I've been struggling with all kind of media until i tried those. Movie playback on Xbox is just plain silent, no darn noise. Game backup worked 100% of the time and even multi game disk. And access time is great with no noise either. Bought those at wal-mart for $8 for 5 disk.

Everything was burned a 4X with LG DVD Burner

and at 8X...yes 8X on a

For anyone in Canada, www.effectuality.ca sells cheap purple bottom/silver top dvd-r's (only $3.60 each) that work great with my Thomson

HSDEMONZ · « **Reply #28 on:** December 16, 2002, 09:50:00 PM »

$3.60 CDN? Ouch.

We can get blanks for $2.00 CDN now.. cheaper if you look harder.

I've started using the Bulkpaq 2x Gen 4 disks. They are the best yet that i've tried and for £1 a piece in the uk are pretty good value.

Where do you get these 2x Bulkpaq discs in the uk ??

Also, If I were to use 4x discs, would my game work alright

I know they are more expensive, but I'm willing to pay if it gets the job done faster..

thanks
