Will do, cheers.

Yeah, used the exact same batch of discs on my friends desktop burner. Tried both the Verbatims and the Aone's. Tried the burn from my friend's computer in my 360 and it works, tried the burn from my drives in my friend's 360 and it doesn't work - gives the same kind of 'dirty disc' error after spinning for a couple of seconds.

Is this an issue and how can I resolve it as my backups don't seem to want to play in the 360 using this drive set-up.

Starting a new topic as I've found a different issue.

And the plot thickens. I've been out and bought an Optiarc AD-7240S and a good SATA to USB enclosure. I've flashed the drive with the modded firmware as suggested here: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=12099 I've burnt a backup on a Verbatim DVD+R DL disc at the lowest possible speed (4x apparently for this drive) and the game STILL won't load in the 360 even though the book-type is changed to DVD-ROM during the burn and everything looks fine (aside from the 'Device Buffer' constantly dropping from 96% to 6% every 30 seconds or so). I'm just completely lost. This is now 3 burners I've tried to burn with and although they're burning successfully and changing book-type to DVD-ROM they're still not loading! It's not even my 360 as I had burnt backups on my desktop Lite-On drive up until a few weeks ago and all worked, and still work, perfectly fine. Does anybody have any ideas at all? I just don't understand what the hell is going on.

Sold the burner on eBay and have bought an Optiarc and a SATA enclosure as recommended by MMalves in another thread! Will test that when it comes!

Bump - really stumped with this

Hi Cynthia, I'm using the same batch of discs that worked on my old burner - so it can't be the dye issue. I also bought some Verbatim's today and got the exact same issue that I've been having - the image burns, says it's DVD-ROM but won't play, I've even tried with back-up images I know have worked previously with other burners. I'm completely stumped! I've even tried burning at 1x and 2.4x speeds but I get an error message about a speed mismatch and it writes at 3x.

I did read it, I think you missed my less than subtle hint on the fact that I had read it. I asked if you were referring me to the bit about not posting as the 'issues' aren't to do with you - to which I said it was less than helpful of you to do such. Another member here has been kind enough to help me out and give me advice and information, if you don't like it - shove it. @Cynthia - thanks a lot for your help in this thread, it's very much appreciated and you're a credit to the forum. I'm kinda just going to put it down to the media and have some Verbatims on order. Thanks again for your help!

Here's the log including the verification. I'm guessing it's just an issue with my media and the drive as it seems to verify as a DVD-ROM book type. It's mad as I've used the exact same media before and they ALWAYS play, just not when burnt on this writer - yet it burns and verifies successfully! I 20:04:43 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!

Just ran another one and verified - and it didn't give me any errors yet it still wont play in the machine! Could it be that the Book Type just isn't changing?

I didn't verify, but it won't do anything different will it? The disc still won't load on the 360 yet it seems to have burnt successfully as DVD-ROM according to the log. Also, why does it still mention DVD+R DL as the Book Type under 'Physical Format Information'.
