Confusing xbox360 burn problems

[switch]

Hi,

 

In the past I've managed to have succesfull xbox360 discs burned with imgburn on my pioneer dvr-111d. I have now 4 wasted discs and don't know what's wrong. The more I try, the more I feel I'm doing wrong. Espescially my last burn and verify attempt got me worried. The log is below.

 

With what I understand, their are two problems:

 

1) Img burn does not set the book type when burning. I thought that with pioneer burners this is automatically set to 'DVD-ROM' for DVD+R DL media.

 

2) Upon verifying this appears "Session 1, Track 1 is smaller on the disc than it is in the image file." I have no clue about this.

 

I'm using Verbatim DVD+R DL 8x. I know the 2.4x are better, but I don't think I can get those locally. And I think something else is the problem. The firmware of the burner was updated yesterday and I'm using the latest version of imgburn.

 

Anyone has some advice?

Try burning faster (4x, 6x or 8x), those are the 8x discs after all.

 

You could also try cleaning your drive with a cleaning disc.

I will burn faster the next time I will burn. But what about the book type problem? I've checked with previous discs. Those are DVD-ROM but somehow with the new imgburn and/or new firmware the booktype now is DVD+R DL.

That one just didn't burn correctly (or at least the drive didn't reinitialise it correctly), that's why it says DVD+R DL still.

 

ImgBurn has nothing to do with the book type on Pioneer drives, they do it automatically and it cannot be changed.

 

If you put the disc back in again now, does it still look like it's blank? If not, perhaps you can verify it manually using Verify mode.

Ah, ok. The disc appears empty in windows explorer. I also discovered that I forgot to reboot after the firmware install. I have rebooted and burned 2 discs. At 6x the xbox recognized the game as a regular DVD and the second at 4x is not recognized at all. They are varified though.

 

What would be the optimal burn speed?

What would be the optimal burn speed?

Only a disc scan (with a program such as DVDInfoPro/Nero DiscSpeed/OptiDriveControl) can answer that.

Can you post the log of those 2 burns?

Can you post the log of those 2 burns?

 

Sure. I did cancel the 2nd varification as it did have the right book type and started correctly reading the sectors.
