Recently, my friend gave me a copy of Mortal Kombat to play. It forced me to update my dashboard, which I did, but it worked.
My friend usually handles all the modding stuff, but I didn't want to bother my friend with modding stuff anymore, so I got my hands on a copy of Dynasty Warriors 7. But after I burnt it to a Verbatim DVD+ DL, my XBOX360 indicated that "the disc was unreadable". I've read all the tutorials, and stickies, but I haven't been able to identify my problem.
Mortal Kombat (the new one) works, but Dynasty Warriors 7 does not.
I checked using ABG and found that Dynasty Warriors 7 is PAL, as is my XBOX360 console.
So what exactly am I doing wrong?
Is it the firmware (of which I have no idea what version I am on)?
Or did I not burn the disc properly?
Information that I have no idea whether or not is useful:
My XBOX360 is PAL Dynasty Warriors 7 is PAL
I use an "activate" disc before I am able to play a game.
I have a Lite-ON XBOX360 drive
I used a Verbatim DVD+R DL disc for Dynasty Warriors 7
Mortal Kombat runs fine.
I am on the newest dashboard.
I got my console modded before or just when Gears of War 2 came out.
I have no idea what firmware I am on.
I don't use XBL and since flashing is so complicated, I thought probably best if I stick to the Wave Patcher.
So I patched the game, which was Wave 11, down to Wave 3.
I then burnt it to the VerbatimDVD+R DL but when I put it in, the XBOX360 was stuck on "reading disc". I put something else in and the console read it immediately.
I threw the post-patched .iso file into ABGx360 and this stuff came up:

This is a very large video partition that isn't hosted on the database...
You will have to find it elsewhere and put it in your StealthFiles folder -

Is it safe for me to burn it now? Or was this simply a burn error and I should just try to burn again? I caught a glimpse of Imgburn and it told me that it was forced to burn at around 4x instead of my preferred 2.8x.
Did some searching and I stumbled across this:
Video_BA47FD12.iso
Apparently I need it for Wave 3 games. I'll give it a try now and see if it works.
edit.
No I'm still clueless.
I ran it through ABGx first, and now through WavesPatcher.
It is on Wave 3 now.
Should I just try burning again?
Just to retrace my steps:
Ran through ABGx, everything is.. successful. Reverted the iso file back to Wave 11.
Ran through WavesPatcher, changed from Wave 11 to Wave 3.
Did I miss anything? Should I just try burning again?
It's odd that the .dvd file wasn't automatically setting your layer break(that's actualy all it does). You should have a .iso file and an identical .dvd file in the same folder(abgx360 creates a .dvd file if you don't have one). When you burn the disc you choose the .dvd file and boom layer break.
