I have a samsung drive (according to the comparison chart online: 2 wholes in the tray)
Wont play: dvd-r = dvd-iso data discs
dvd-rw = dvd-iso data discs
dvd+r = dvd-iso data discs/dvd-video (Straight copy from an actual movie)
Mediums used for above: TDK, Fuji, Verbatim
Will Play: dvd-r = dvd-video (Straight copy from an actual movie)
dvd+rw = dvd-iso data disc / dvd-video (Straight copy from an actual movie)
So basically, the type of drive I'm looking for in the following priority:
Primary formats I need: dvd+r
dvd+rw
Secondary dvd-r
dvd-rw
3rd:
cd-r
cd-rw
According to my understanding of why DVD-R only worked because of the DVD-video format. I figured the same theory would work for DVD+R, if it was a straight burn from a movie, but that's not the case.
People keep listing the drive S 616T to be the superior must have, that plays all formats. When I see a listing in ebay it doesnt include +R or +RW anywhere.
So which Samsung drive do I have? the 616 or the 605?
and which drive (based on the priority lists above) will I need to replace my current drive?
I do realize there's a hit and miss with formats, but based on the mediums I've tried, I realize my drive completely rules out the formats I need. Please help.
its a software Exploit... with the eVox bios. the console is v.1.5 (right before they came out with 1.6 which i believe 1.6 is the green special edition xbox halo pack).
Please recommend a drive for me to use, based on the priority list above (if you have a comment, that is).
