have that many people been having problems with their lasers though? mine seems to bug out more when it plays the retail version of brawl than anyting

I'm not sure about the Wii (as it has only been out for just over a year) but the PS2 and the xbox are notorious for getting DREs especially when they are playing burned media.

Any piece of hardware that is performing operations it was not originally intended to do will experience a shortened lifespan, and game systems weren't intended to play burned media.

Then tell me the difference between a DvD with official Legalization-Check software and the DVD that u burned, without the check. How does Wii reads it differently

^^yeah, the reason i was asking is i have 3 xboxs which were all reading backups before i put the hard drives in, and even then, they all had the dvd kit, so they were reading non-xbox discs and recordable media for quite a while. even a perfectly unmodded xbox would read cdrws for sake of putting music onto the hd.

i think dre's are more from people opening up the case and doing a bunch of work inside, meanwhile letting a bunch of dust and plastic from the case work get inside. also xbox was notorious for having a few shitty brands of dvd drives, specifically the phillips drive, and furthermore, the mod for the dvd drive, where people would cut alot of the top of the dvd drive off, so they could see the disc spinning, opened the dvd up to all sorts of dust once again, and also threw off the way the dvd drive grabbed and spun discs if done incorrectly.

who knows though with this system, hopefully we'll reach the point soon where we can swap out the dvd drive completely..which will also get rid of the need for modchips (although they might not read retail discs anymore.. but who wants to run their retails)

The reason burned media is called "burned" is because the laser inside of your DVD writer literally burns pits and lands into the azo or cyanine dye layer thats located between the polycarbonate layers of a DVD.

Factory pressed DVDs are stamped by a factory stamper with their pits and lands predetermined in a master image of the disc. That Master image dictates what each copy looks like. So every copy from a legitimate factory will be the same as the stamper it came from. You can't get those kinds of results and quality from a DVD burner.

While you can get some rather nice quality burns from some of the high end burners these days the best quality DVD is going to be a facory pressed DVD.

A factory pressed DVD isn't affected by a jittery burn, or an insufficient burn due to data latency issues since it pressed by a large stamper and not burned at all.

Official Wii games are pressed in a factory, not burned. So when you force a Wii to read DVDs that have been burned you are stressing its hardware to work harder to read your disc. The best thing you can do if you insist to play backups is to use top quality media that have been burned in a top quality burner.
