OK, long story short, I am trying to burn backups of my Xbox 360 games with following specs, burning completes successfully, but ALWAYS fails at the same 99% point of verifying and results in an unreadable, ruined disc.
- ImgBurn 2.5.8.0
- Brand spanking new Liteon iHas 124 E (newest firmware 4L06, listed as compatible for both XGD2/XGD3 backups)
- Verbatim DL DVD+R (The best ones, made in singapore, MKM 003)
- BurnerMax 0.15 enabled
- Xbox 360 game backup files (both XGD2 and XGD3, abgx360 passes with all green)
And the widely recommended settings for XGD3 game burning I am using:
- OPC off
- Force hypertuning ON
- Online hypertuning OFF
- Overspeed OFF
- Smartburn ON
- Write speed 4x
Everything else at the default/recommended values, all the usual tricks tried with resetting the settings, reinstalling ImgBurn, power cycling the system etc.
So the problem is I am getting successful burns but failed verifying and unreadable discs. Verifying the burned disc in ImgBurn always hangs at the very end when verifying is near complete (99%). Always the same reason: "L-EC Uncorrectable Error".
I have tested with various backup files (both xgd3 and even xgd2 games that should be a trivial task to burn), and quite a few discs, always the same error at the same 99% point. Absolutely 0% success rate.
To make it even more weird, I have run the failed discs through kprobe verification, and it shows what seems to me a very good, stable burn quality compared to recommended values (PI under 15, PIF under 3). Only that one percent at the end that's completely unreadable in both ImgBurn verify tool and abgx360 disc verify tool but doesn't show up in kprobe in any way.
Now I'd like you to have a look at my most recent burn log, since I don't have the older ones saved anymore, but I can assure you they always fail with the same error, always at the same 99% point of verifying, and makes no difference when using different backup images taken with different hardware even, so I think it's safe to assume there is nothing wrong with the backup files.
Is there anything I'm doing obviously wrong with the logs or anything? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
