Hi, I have a dvd which has different roms on it. DVD is getting old and I want to make a backup of it. I have tried different method which have failed. The DVD autoruns when inserted in the xbox. With Nero, the copy fails.. Do I have to first copy to xbox and then FTP and then make a copy??

thanks

If that works it might be the best plan. Roms are hard work..long file names and things give all sorts of problems.
It's probably slight damage on the disk causing the problem with Nero. Or maybe a couple of faulty roms. The other way is make a folder on the pc and take the roms one at a time until you find the bad ones.
(I spent 3 days once sorting out a heap of snes roms for a disk)

Try using DVD Decrypter to just make an image of the disc. Just make sure it's nice and clean beforehand.

depends on the format of what is on the current disc.
If it is an ISO then you can simply make a copy of the disc.
If it is in file format then you will most likely have to do it through FTP like other Xbox games.

yeah, the only way to avoid the long file names is by getting a batch converter that can trim them down to the required size.
