Guys,

I have an idea of what software you guys use to burn games. I wanna know if you guys use the same one all the time for every game.

Or do you use a certain one over another for certain games and for certain situations (like the orginal game doesn't fit on the blank DVDr)

Just curious, thanks

if you mean the original game is too big for a dvdr, then the software for burning wouldnt make a difference, youd have to remove certain parts of the game ie movies languages etc
BEFORE you make the game an xbox readable iso
I find the best burning program to use for xbox is stomp recordnow max

well to create my iso's I use either Craxtion or Qwix

And to actually write the game to disk I also use record now max.

But as DJ has said, if the game is over 4.7G (approx) then you will have to remove files. Its not like you can compress them like you do with DVD Shrink etc.

djboogie & clarky,

I'm familiar with removing & keeping which audio I want when it comes to movie backups with DVD2One or dvdshrink. How do I pick and choose what I want when it comes to xbox/ps2 games.

it seems that recordnow max is the choice to burn xbox games? Anything else thats good?

thanks guys

Mac, You wont need to delete many game files if you are backing up onto dvd.

Most games 90% + are under 4 gig. If on the rare occasion you get a game that is larger than 4.7 gig (ie ninja gaiden and unreal 2 etc) visit:

you may need to refresh a few times to get it open, but it will show you what files you can get rid of if you so desire.

clarky, I appreciate the info and thanks for the link.
