The very best discs are Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden. End of story.

This drive is 16 x BTC DVD-16x/DVD-ROM BDV316C/.20M works in 0 hours 54m.29sec min to complete working game backup.
Well call it a night check like 37 drives today and I do plan to find more as I have much work left and Drives stacked waiting.
You sir, are a legend.
I look forward to your reports. You should create a blog or something.

Ok please help me figure this one out. I take my original game and create the iso file with raw dump. The Iso is the game titile.iso. Everything works great. I burn it with either Nero or Imagburn on the lowest speed. The backup works GREAT!. Here is my problem. For fun I tried to creat an Iso of the backup disk I just created. When I do this, Raw Dump now calls the .iso file it is creating two stange charactors (I dont know what they are called) and the .iso flle is completed and the.iso now has that weird name. When I pull up a program such as Wii Update Manager, it cant recognize the Name, the region code, or anything else on the disc. It still burns and works but what do I need to do to get all that information to burn onto my backups? (and the files are untouched, they are not filtered through any region code programs. I just use it to verify the regions once in a while but never patch anything since all I use are USA NTSC discs. Thanks for your help, and if you dont believe me, try ripping one of your backups and see what it is called. Thanks

I got a question if you mod your wii with the chip, does that mean you can only play the back up disks or can you still play reg. games to?

Being a relatively new registered member here (been visiting the site for years - fantasic resource!!), I have read through lots & lots...., well sufficient to say that I have read numerous articles on backing up Wii titles and wondered why most of us just dont use our modded Wii? Afterall - it reads Wii discs nicely :-)
I have a UK PAL Wii, D2C chipset and Infectus Argon modchip.
I use softdev's DVD-SD Backup Utility (PAL Version) with a Gamecube SD Card Adaptor (Wii-Key SD Adaptor), 2Gb SD Card (Transcend) along with a Gamecube Controller.
I have not had any issues with backing up any original UK PAL Wii game (Not tried any Dual-Layer yet, as SSBB has not yet been released here in the UK).
The Process takes an average of 50 mins to dump the DVD, 10 mins to transfer to PC, 10 Mins to join the parts together and the usual 30 mins for Imgburn @ 2.4 speed to record the .iso image.
Equipment used to burn iso:
Toshiba Equium A100-147 Laptop (WinXP - SP2) with Internal MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-8415 Drive
Ritek G05 Purple -R Media
Just thought that I would share this with you - and besides, why not use our modded Wiis as opposed to buying a different DVD Drive (Ebay Rip Offs... lol), using RAWDump, FriiDump and avoid 'potential' ensuing issues etc.
P.S. I only use PAL versions on my Wii, as do my friends; a number of which have a Wiikey modchip, with no issues at all - including SMG. So, the best advice - which is always commented upon, would be to stick to your own 'Region' and have patience - the game will be released!
Happy Wii-Gaming .............

I have been reading the forums for some time and I have no problem burning games to DVD -R with my burner and playing them. my new question is this. I have a burnt copy of SSBB in Japanese that i play. I just downloaded the US version and want to burn it. This is what i was going to do let me know if this is correct please.
Iso is created and patched with wiibrickblocker.
Now i use imgburner. do i place my verbatim DL DVD -R into my drive and click burn? or do i need to do some settings for it to work. read something about a break in the disc and using +r but using a special setting.

You're on your own, downloading games is not supported here. Try this tho, go to your local EB Games/Wal-Mart/Toys-R-Us/Game Dealer and Buy the game. *Note this only works about 100% of the time with no issues*

Have you actually tried the disk's in a modded wii ?
The reason i'm asking is Frii Dump often reports a working dump
But when you actually do test it, no joy.
The dump hasn't worked.
If you have, then this is great news.. !

I have read through this thread and have not found an answer to my question (at least one which I can understand). The topic was touched upon in page 11 but a method was not explained. I have a chipped wii and I have made back-ups from my own original games, but now I want to create another back-up of a friends back-up game. Can somebody explain in simple terms how I secure the ISO from the dvdr so it can be regenerated to create a second back-up? Do I need any special programs like alcohol 120 or nero? I am new to all this so no big words please!

Any program that copies a DVD to a DVD
Nero, imgBurn, etc
RAWDUMP will not copy a RAWDUMP ISO image

brightspk - you are a don!
I had already tried nero with no joy(I dont really know what im doing) so I tried imgburn. It downloaded and installed in seconds, and was so simple to use even I could work it out.
Job done!
cheers

How much space is left on your HDD?? You can also use wiiscrubber and then compress the files to a smaller size. I have 300 GB External HDD with 109 GB used for 49 games. All have been scrubbed with wiiscrubber and then winrar to compress; if I hadn't then I would have used about 200 GB for those games.

If you want to keep your iso's in the 4.37 Gb size format - you will have to change the format of the external HD to NTFS (assuming that you are using windows); so that it can take files larger then 4Gb. Alternatively, you could use 'Partition Magic' or even a linux distro "System Rescue CD" [FREE - Google it], which will make it possible to change from FAT 32 to NTFS, without erasing your existing files on the external HD.
Hope this helps....

Is it an absolute must that those LG drives be used to create the ISO? I just used a Friidump 0.3.0 on a Toshiba TS-L802A. It recognized as a Wii disk. My ISO was exactly 4,699,979,776 bytes. I attempted to burn with Roxio 7 and got an 0x000...04 error. but it will burn everything else fine. Is this just typical for not using the LG recommended drives? These are my friidump stats
