I am trying to burn an Xbox 360 game to a DL disc and have tried to follow some of the guides that talk about burning .iso files to dual layer discs but I am not getting the same results as the guides say I should. I have the following files for the game I want to back up:

.dvd file - 1Kb
.iso file - 7,651,848 Kb
System Info file - 1Kb
.sfv file - 2Kb

I set Image Burn up to burn to build and output to device. The file system is set to ISO9660 + UDF. I loaded the folder containing all the files above and clicked the calculator button. I got a window back saying that the file was too large and that I should change the File System option to UDF only. I attempted to burn the image anyway but got a window that says I don't need to burn the image on a DL disc. I'm pretty confused at this point and could use some help.

Thanks!!

Hi and welcome to the forum, Nightly!

As you already have a done ISO file - there is no need to build one.

Select the 'Write' mode and load the .iso file. You need a DL disc to be able to burn the ISO file.

For the layer break - what kind of game is it for? xBox/Wii/Amiga?

Follow this guide and select the .dvd file as the image to burn

Sorry. My bad.

Thanks, mmalves!

Thanks for the quick reply. I followed your instructions, was burning fine and the first pass was around 80% and then I got the an error (see the attachment). I clicked "try again", got the same error back, and then clicked "Continue" at which point Image Burn stopped the operation. I have cut and pasted the log here. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong.

Ok, I used a Verbatim DL disc and this time got the following error message at 19% completion mark. I am following the instructions above to burn a backup copy of my Xbox 360 game disc but so far have made two coasters. What am I doing wrong please? Also, I have been told by friends that I need to do something to my Xbox to enable it to play this copied disc properly. Can anyone confirm this and if true tell me where I can get instructions on what to do. Thanks!!

hey Cynthia

Need a bit of help pretty please. I recently purchased GTA and wish to make a backup of it. I think i have almost got it right, but just need a bit of verification. I have the following:

1-Liteon DH-20A3S X8 Dual layer writer
2-Verbatim DVD+R/DL Matt Silver media - 8X Writable
3-A modded 360 (not sure what mod unfortunately nor what drive i have in my 360, and dont know how to find out?)

So i think i've half figured out what to do.

I have DVD Decrypter v3.5.4.0. This is what i used to rip GTA. After opening the application, i select Mode > ISO > Read. I then save the ISO to my NTFS drive. This results in a MDS file (a few kb in size) and a ISO file (just over 7 gb in size). I've read alot about a .DVD file required for IMGburn. However DVD Decryptor only outputs .ISO and .MDS. Am i doing something wrong?

To burn, i use IMGBurn 2.4.1.0 - Here, i set the layer break to 1913760 in the Settings > Write TAB. Then i booktype to DVD-ROM. Then, i select the MDS file. Is this correct? i've read alot of posts which speak about selecing a .DVD or .00 file, but DVD decrypter doesn't output these files. After that, i set the burn to 2.4 speed (i hear that a lower burn speed results in a better / more stable burn).

The game worked initially but after a while it froze and gave me a message about the disc being dirty, so now i just play the original instead. Out of curiousity, is the backup information above correct ? or have i done something wrong?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Those discs are protected and nobody here will help you create an image of them.

You'll need to go elsewhere for that info.

[VluggeJapie]

Sorry for my wrong English, I'm dutch...

I have some problems with Imgburn too. Before I used Imgburn, I used Clone CD, but that program burned too fast. So many DVD's failed.

I want to burn Xbox 360 games on Dual Layer DVD's. A friend of me helped me, but is on holiday now, so he can't. Now, my question is:

He told me about 'Layer Break'. I had to 'put it on' or something. Now I checked >tools >settings >general >layer break.

I could put on 2 'things:

Check 'Don't update IFO/BUP files'
Check 'Seamless'

What do I have to do now?

Tnx

[mmalves]

Use the default settings (you don't need to change anything) and follow this guide -> http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=61 (select the .dvd file as the image to burn)

Did you delete the .dvd file? If so, that was silly.

[manny247]

Did you delete the .dvd file? If so, that was silly.

No i didnt, when i browsed for the files, i loaded the vts-mc.iso file which as u knw is a zipped up file and size wise its around 7 and a half gb, i only loaded that file,

what do i do with the dvd file

[mmalves]

The .dvd file tells ImgBurn where to place the layerbreak and the file is only a few bytes in size.

[manny247]

The .dvd file tells ImgBurn where to place the layerbreak and the file is only a few bytes in size.

so basically what do i do guys, i write the files to disc, but when prompted to browse and pick a file, what file do i pick?
