i know this question gets asked a lot but all the threads i searched havent really given me a strait answer. i've tryed using TDK and Verbitamin dvd+r, but all i managed to do was make frisbies.
also, have you guys had more success dvd+r or dvd-r?
thanks, strazza

i use Sony DVD+R and TDK DVD+R and both have worked great for me. I used a Philips DVD-R just to see if it made any changes and it worked just fine too ... (knock on wood) i think i'll stick with the +R for the xbox and the -R for the PS2 though.

-R generally will work more often then +R. In order to make +R's more compatible with all dvd players some drive makers have the drive automatically change the booktype setting to dvdrom and if so, more than likely you'll have no problems with them playing on your xbox. If the drive doesn't automatically change the booktype and you don't change it within your burning software or with a utility, It probably won't work with +R. I've had no problems with any name brand disc including Memorex.

ok i looked around the forums and i know how to change the booktype, the only problem i have now is (and this is gonna sound really stupid) that i dont know what kind of burner i have. is there a program that can tell you what burner you have?

go into my computer and right click your burner,(or any harware for that matter) and select properties. There will be a tab called 'hardware'. This should show you a list of your hardware.
You could also right click 'my computer' and select properties and then select 'hardware' then click the 'hardware manager' button. This will list damn near everything you have,that you will need to know of.

i had tryed that already but it said: "HL-DT-ST DVD GWA 4040N". i just that that it was a bit odd because it didnt say a brand name or anything.
thanks and sorry for a stupid question.

Its made by LG ELectronics. Guess they like to name their drives different than most. Not sure what the HL DT ST is for.

edit. If the link isn't working (isn't working for me now, dunno why), just go to lge.com and click products -> computer products -> optical storage -> super mulit dvd rewriter
