I´ve heard that Verbs, Fuji and Sony discs are all made at the same factory in Taiwan.. Each company then just put on a label or print and they are good to go! An account manager from Fuji told me, that these three "primebrand" disc should be just as good as the other.. Any thoughts on that? I have used Fuji DVD-R for Wii backup and they work just as fine as Verbs..

Interesting.. Is your 360 flashed with eXtreme or modded with a chip? Im using Verbs +R DL at 2.4x I will post a burning log, but right now im at work. Tnx M8

hmm.. Your right... When I open Imgburn, the booktype also states DVD+R DL. Very strange that I cannot burn anything but coasters... Tnx for your help..

From the thread at: http://www.rejoy.se/forum/index.php?showtopic=793 If you have Samsung Drive in Xbox-360 and NME-360 v1.0 with or limited Edition: Download IMGBurn (http://www.imgburn.com), install and execute. At first we have to enter the layerbreak information manually. This has to be done only once because IMGBurn will save this setting and use it for ever untill you change it again: TOOLS - SETTINGS - WRITE - Options (top right) - mark "User specified" - enter thevalue "1913760" into the field below. Confirm with "OK". Back to the mainscreen of IMGburn there is a small icon in the lower right corner which looks like a book. Click this icon with your left mousebutton and we will be able to change the booktype manually. A new window opens which lists several DVD writers. Choose your dvd writer and enter the following settings: "Change for:" "Drive (For DVD+R DL Media)" below "New Setting:" "DVD+R DL" click "Change" with your left mousebutton and confirm the message "SUCCESS" by clicking "OK". Hit the "OK" button to get back to the mainscreen where you can select the iso by clicking the small folder icon besides "please select a file...". Choose your "game.iso" file. Preferably change the writing speed to the speed of your media. Never write faster than your media can handle it because you could make it a coaster. Disable "Test-Mode" and "Verifiy" Finally insert your DVD+R DL media and press the big button to start burning.

You sure? I have read that with Xbox 360 samsungdrive and NME images you have to use DVD+R DL bitsetting... DVD-ROM is for hitachi iXtreme.... Quote from a forum: Sidenote: If your Xbox360 is equipped with a Hitachi drive then you don't have to change the booktype necessarily as this one can handle the booktypes DVD+R DL and DVD-R. For Samsung drive the booktype MUST be set to DVD+R DL. Anyway we suggest to always change the booktype to DVD+R DL because what if you are going to take your legit backup to your friend to play it there and his Xbox360 is equipped with a samsung drive? It won't work there. And this is one of the main reasons to create a backup, to not to carry your expensive original game around with you and possibly damage it...

None As you cannot bitset DVD-r For DVD+r dl pioneer drives auto DVD-ROM Liteon 20A1P and the ones after will allow DVD+R and Dual layer to DVD-ROM from the Liteon tab in ImgBurn after pressing the little book icon bottom right and you can use the Eeprom setting so that you never have to set it again. Tnx! I made a mistake by writing DVD-R as it should have been DLD+R DL. So a Liteon 20A1P can change the booktype for DVD+R DL to DVD+R DL?( I think the default setting for DVD+R DL is stated as "normal3" ) Thanks for your help....

Hmmm... Im sorry for using this forum with an issus that does not directly involve Imgburn... Let me rephraise my question: Which DVD-R DL burner are recommended and compatible with Imgburn and the change bitsetting feature? Come on, send a lightning bolt this way

Hi! I would really appreciate if someone can tell me, which burner they think is best, when it comes to burning DVD-R DL. I have now tried several different DL burners, but none of them can change the bitsetting I need. I need a burner, that can be confirmed to have the ability to change "DVD-R DL" to "DVD-R DL". Last drive I tried was a Lite-On SHW-160P6S. Even with the newest firmware I could only change the booktype for "DVD-R DL" to DVD-RW og DVD-ROM. The reason is that my 360 with samsung drive and NME 1.2 wont play games burnt with other than that booktype. If anyone has a burner that can do this, please tell me the brand and model. Thanks in advance...

Im actually using a Dell Optiflex so removing the burner from its caseing and installing it is impossible... But I will definitly try to crossflash it to lite-on firmware.. Where did you find the download/firmware.. Ive been searching google but has come up emptyhanded (perhaps contacting HP would do the trickk ).. Im kind of a newb to this, so if you can give a quick tutorial it would be great!! Im sure other users of Imgburn would be delighted to know a bit more about crossflashing! Thanks in advance... K

HELP CHEWY!!!

Ok! Yet that one is "unknown-Failed".... Long story short, do you have any suggestions on why I cant adjust book type? Just things you heard off.. I can look for detailes myself.. How does the log file seem to you? I thank you for your help! Not too often that you see admins answering this fast, if they even answer... K

Yo! I have tried to disable smart burn in the advanced settings. Suddenly It does not say "unknown-failed" under book type. Now I can choose Lite-ON and see that the current setting for DVD+RW Media is DVD+R DL?! Everything else is still "unknown-failed".

Im using DVD+R DL! Should it be DVD-R DL? Never noticed there was a difference. Oh It was a joke Can you take a look at this log file please.. I noticed that after i put in a DVD+R DL the book type changed.. So it seems that the auto book type works, right ( before it was DVD+RW )?

tnx for the quick answer.. awsome program... Im using the newest edition of Imgburn. It has auto-set booktype right?? So in fact it should not be neccesary to do it manually?! If the log-file shows that its set to DVD-R DL everything should be alright, right? Hmm... Perhaps the guy who installed the chip did a crappy job...
