In that case either it's a bad disk, your laser is dying or you haven't done it right. Is your dash showing the word "game" when you put the disk in? If it says unknown or no disk then it's never going to work.
Post exactly how you made the xiso and burned it and I'll try to work out where it's going wrong.

Well no because evox loads the disc and reads it fine, but when the game loads up it it says disc maybe dirty or damaged. It gets to the part where it loads after the bungie logo loads. The first time i tried it i thought that when i FTP it over something must of misses the transfer or was corrupted. So i transfered it over again, burned it and still didnt work. I used qwix to make the iso and burned with DVD Decrypter and Nero.

If anybody wants to help work on a project please leave a message. The project is backing up halo2 to DVD-R and being able to play on live. I know its possible because i have seen someone do it.

I had removed nothing because the game can fit onto a dvd easily.
Idk its just weird because i backupped other games with the same media and they work flawless! If i donwload a halo2 iso torrent is there anyway i can like open up that iso to make modifications to it?

If you FTP ed halo 2 from your xbox and didn't remove anything, you will need a Dual Layer disk!!!!
WinRAR will allow you to play around with an iso.
No time for Leap frog!!!

There are quite a few Xbox games that won't fit on a single layer DVD-R. Some examples are Jade Empire, Ninja Gaiden Black, and Dynasty Warriors 5.
Also, you don't really have to burn it to a dual layer. If you wanted to, you could split it into two discs: one for single player; one for multiplayer.
Or, just replace one of the videos in the bink folder with a 0 byte video file off from balugabutt.

Its your media, no matter what you do the full game will NOT fix in a DVD5 4.7gb disc halo 2 is over the limit anygame over 4.30gb will not fit, it will burn sucess fully but you will have problems. What I did is just removed the credits and that was just enough to fit and work great. Do try better media I use sony DVD+R or verbatim dvd-rs and they work great no problem what so ever.

The reason Halo 2 won't fit on a disc is right in the glossary...
Quote:
DVD-5 is an acronym that means a DVD disc that is one-sided single-layer disc and can contain upto 4.38 gigabytes of data on it.
DVD disc manufacturers love to use marketing terms and sell their discs as 4.7GB discs, but this is not true -- the 4.7GB is calculated by using so-called "Japanese gigabytes", where the power of calculations is 1,000 instead of 1,024 (and 1.024 is the correct way to calculate everything in computer world -- so, 1024 megabytes == 1 gigabyte).
DVD-5 DVD-Video discs are nice, because DVD writers (this applies to both, DVD-R and DVD+R standards) can only write single layer discs.
Halo 2 is 4502 megabytes, which is just over the limit. That's why everyone keeps telling you that something must be removed before it'll fit on a DVD-R...

Yes, as long as you only remove the single player maps you'll be fine...
Since it didn't work when you tried it, you must've removed something you shouldn't have.

hey i had this same problem with almost every game i tried to back up i figured out that if you decrease the spped at which you burn it at and finalize the disk it tends to eliminate this problem i use Nero for it and all my backed up games work perfectly now
hope that helps

I didn't read everyone's replies, but these are the files needed for XBL and since the disc is burned, you wont be able to play XBL anyways. Remove those and you'll be able to fit all of Halo 2 onto 1 disc...yes even the SP maps :D
