Hi, first of all are u supposed to just chose the dvd file for burning, that little file for your disk and not the ".iso". Second when u make that txt file and then change its name to "whatever.dvd" is it meant to stay as a text file, or should it convert into a ".dvd" file or somethin?

Thank u for ur help

I've noticed that the .dvd files I get when I download have the text appear in the opposite order as this tutorial, they appear as

"LayerBreak=1913760
b-dgr.iso
"
rather than
"b-dgr.iso
LayerBreak=1913760"

So far however, the only ones I've burnt are the ones that were missing a .dvd, and I had to make one, and did so using the instructions in the fAQ section of this guide.

Does the difference matter?

Sounds like your layerbreak is incorrect, are you running through ABGX?

I just have one question about the process; Why don't you have to verify or use the test mode buttons? What exactly do these functions do?

I have been having this same issue. I have tried 3 different burners now..the last 2 being a LG and the latest a Pioneer 216d. I have had a couple different outcomes all while using either clone cd or imgburner. Most of the time it just says play DVD in the media screen. My 360 is modded and plays the games that were burnt and given to me about 2 years ago. It STILL plays these games fine...just not any new ones I try to burn. I have followed all the tutorials and I cannot figure out what the problem is. I have been banging my head against the wall for a couple of weeks. Any help would be great!!

and how do I do that? Or I suppose my question is..can I do that, or do I need to contact the person that originally modded it. Please speak as if talking to a moron...cuz I'm a little clueless on the modding end of all of this.

Hi,

Thanks for the excellent guide, hope this works this time!

I'm following your instructions, but I get stuck on step 7:

"Find the name of the company that provided your burner, TSST is samsung btw."

I have a Philips DVD+-RW DVD8801, but Philips isn't in the list. Should I just not specify a manufacturer? Could that affect my burn?

Up until now my 360 always tries to play my burns as DVDs, all I get is the white X360 screen and logo. I'm guessing this is because I hadn't set the layer break, it was set to Calculate Optimal.

You should use the verify option - in fact, that option is checked by default when you install ImgBurn. It checks the burned disc against the ISO on your hard drive to make sure the burn is good.

You don't need to use test mode. It just simulates a burn without actually burning the disc.

@jackl1495 - The order of those lines in a .dvd file is irrelevant, so no, it doesn't matter which way round they are.

@DaemonX - The layer break may have been set to calculate optimal, but ImgBurn is still detecting that it's a 360 image and setting the layer break correctly, because you can see in your log that it's set to 1,913,760.

Hi everybody I have a problem....I have tried to burn a game twice using these directions and directions from another TUT on here....each time with IMGBURN and CLONECD...after 20 or 40% of the writing process is done...and error message will pop up out of nowhere and says failure to write. I have a optiarc dvd rw ad-7560s which is capable of Dual Layer so does anybody know what I could be doing wrong...Ive tried to backup a copy of one of my backups...and ive also tried to burn an iso that i have *ahem* acquired.

I have followed the guide, but when i put the game in the 360 it says: this disc is unreadable. 1. clean the disc with a soft cloth 2.restart console.

the disc isn't dirty. i'm using fujifilm discs dvd +R DL. would it just be that the discs arn't good enough?

Enjoy!

_______________________


Requirements To Burn & Play:

1x DVD+R Dual Layer Burner (Capable of book changing)
1+ DVD+R DL CDS (Recommended: Verbatim Or Aone)
1x Firmware Flashed Or Chipped 360 (Recommended: IXtreme Latest Flash)
1x ImgBurn (Latest)
1+ Xbox 360 PAL = Europe, NTSC = North America, Region Free = Any console, ISO + DVD File (you can make your own dvd file, look at question 1).
1x Brain

Quick Notes:
DVD-R DL will not work as Layer Break is required, DVD-R DL doesn't have the feature to select Layer Break.
ISOS/GAMES/ROMS can be found in various torrent sites, (torrentz.com, piratebay.org)
Burning Speed should be between 2.4x - 4x, i burn at 4x on DVD+R DL Aone discs and they work perfect)


BURNING TUTORIAL


STEP 0:

Insert Blank DVD+R DL Disc into your drive

STEP 1:

Make sure you have all the requirements and have your iso + dvd ALONE in a folder

STEP 2:

Open up ImgBurn then click on Write Image File To Disc, click on the icon with the folder + magnifying glass
and open up your DVD FILE.

Step 3:

Change write speed to 2.4x or 4x (4x works for me)

Step 4:

make sure Test Mode and Verify are not ticked

Step 5:

Make sure destination says your DVD writers name and the writer that your disc is in and not some printer or whatever

Step 6:

Click the open book at the bottom right of imgburn

Step 7:

Find the name of the company that provided your burner, TSST is samsung btw.

Step 8:

Once youve clicked on the company, click Change For: and select DVD+R DL

Step 9:

NEW SETTING: DVD-ROM, click on change, it'll say SUCCESS! then click OK

Step 10:

Make sure Layer Break is set to 1913760, click on


Tools > Settings > Write - Layer Break (For DL Media)

USer Specified : 1913760 > OK (this will set it permanantly but you might want to double check every time)


Step 11:

Make sure all steps are covered, Verify and Test Mode are unchecked, Copies is set to 1 and Write Speed is either 2.4x (40+ mins) or 4x (20+ mins)

Step 12:

Click on that big icon below Verify and test mode of a document disc with an arrow next to it pointing to a disc, it means WRITE!

Step 13:

Wait for disc to finish burning, once finished, exit imgburn then eject disc, into 360 and hopefully, a smile on your face will shine on.






Question 1)

My rom/iso didn't come with a dvd file, what i do now?



A:

You can make your own dvd file, just copy and paste the example below into notepad and save into the directory your rom/iso/game is located,
save it as the name of your iso but instead of the .iso replace it with .dvd.
(e.g, your rom is called vivapinata.iso, copy n paste the below, (CHANGING THE NAME), and
save it as vivapinata.dvd.

e.g DVD File


gow.iso
Layerbreak=1913760

saved as gow.dvd



Question 2)

360 says disc cannot be read, ahhh what do i do??????


A:

Reburn with faster speed (4x) (worked for me =D) or recheck the steps to make sure you didnt mess anything



Question 3)

Your tutorial says a brain is required, is this vital?

A:

Yes


Question 4)

How do i chip/flash/break my 360?


A:

Not my thing, ask around.


Question 5)

Where can i purchase DVD+R DL Discs


A:

Look on eBay, everythings cheap on there, Verbatim 10 DVD+RDL discs are £10! while 10 AONE as £5!


Question 6)

What is a "book change"


A:

changing book type of the disc basically means making it readable for the 360, 360 only reads DVD-ROMS (i think)


Hey guys sorry i am a little new at this.. i have been trying to burn nhl 11... have the dvd file... have the iso... (but it is zipped I dont know if this matters)... followed the steps, but when i put it in my xbox all i get is play DVD ... what am i doing wrong
