i'm not sure as to what exactly you need to convert. make a backup of the .dvd and then convert it just to see if you even can, cuz if you can, that's what i'd do
Yikes that took quite some time for budro to pick up on that bitsetting issue. Come on Budro, live up to your motto...
I have a 360 with samsung and NME 1.2 and I have the same problem as you. The bitsetting must be changed. With a 360 with samsung you have to set the booktype for "DVD-R DL" to "DVD-R DL". If its a hitachi you can also set it to DVD-ROM.
My burner could also not change the booktype. It just says "Unknown - Failed". What you need to do is buy a specific burner. One that has the ability to change the bitsetting...
I will research it and write back as soon as a find one.. I you find one please post it, because im sure that this is the reason why we can not get proper burns...
If you have Samsung Drive in Xbox-360 and NME-360 v1.0 with or limited Edition:
Download IMGBurn (http://www.imgburn.com), install and execute.
At first we have to enter the layerbreak information manually. This has to be done only once because IMGBurn will save this setting and use it for ever untill you change it again:
TOOLS - SETTINGS - WRITE - Options (top right) - mark "User specified" - enter thevalue "1913760" into
the field below. Confirm with "OK".
Back to the mainscreen of IMGburn there is a small icon in the lower right corner which looks like a book.
Click this icon with your left mousebutton and we will be able to change the booktype manually.
A new window opens which lists several DVD writers. Choose your dvd writer and enter the following settings:
"Change for:" "Drive (For DVD+R DL Media)" below "New Setting:" "DVD+R DL"
click "Change" with your left mousebutton and confirm the message "SUCCESS" by clicking "OK".
Hit the "OK" button to get back to the mainscreen where you can select the iso by clicking the small folder
icon besides "please select a file...".
Choose your "game.iso" file.
Preferably change the writing speed to the speed of your media. Never write faster than your media can handle
it because you could make it a coaster. Disable "Test-Mode" and "Verifiy"
Finally insert your DVD+R DL media and press the big button to start burning.
Sidenote:
If your Xbox360 is equipped with a Hitachi drive then you don't have to change the booktype necessarily as this one can handle the booktypes DVD+R DL and DVD-R. For Samsung drive the booktype MUST be set to DVD+R DL. Anyway we suggest to always change the booktype to DVD+R DL because what if you are going to take your legit backup to your friend to play it there and his Xbox360 is equipped with a samsung drive? It won't work there. And this is one of the main reasons to create a backup, to not to carry your expensive original game around with you and possibly damage it...

CONVERTING AN XTREME IMAGE TO MAKE IT WORK WITH THE NME-360 MODCHIP
To convert an Xtreme game image to an image for use with NME-360 modchip follow these easy steps:
Start NME aSSociat0r
Select the Xtreme ISO File
activate "Extract Security Sector from Xtreme ISO file"
This will extract the Security Sector from the Xtreme Image and merge it to the correct offset for
use with the NME-360 modchip.
The final GAME.ISO size must be 7.705.657.344 bytes (in KB it is 7.525.056).
Burn the ISO as described above.
The Samsung chip only works with discs burned as DVD+R DL.
The Hitachi chip works with booktypes DVD-ROM and DVD+R DL.

but i didn't understand properly..should i load only the iso with nme associator and convert it or extract the ss from the iso and then merge them together and then convert it??
when i try to change the booktype at "new"(booktype setting) it says only "Normal","DVD-ROM" and "DVD-RW" it doesn't allow me to set it at dvd+r dl because there isn't such thing in there only at the "change" option(that one i set it to dvd+r dl media)....how do i change the booktype normal or dvd-rom??does anyone know?
