That would apply if the xbox didnt read the image, the thing is it read's it as a dvd, so it probably is an error in burning.

Its a support forum, not a debuger forum, you dont have to be an ass about it.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

That thread applies to all things XBOX360.

 

We get tired or typing out the same thing all the time so now we just point to that thread.

 

Verify your burns and then you'll know if the disc is good.

 

Oh and I wasn't being an ass about it. If you took it that way then you're the one being an ass.

[Templar]

You redirected me to a thread that doesnt answer my question and basically tells me to fuck off, to me thats being an ass.

Dont take me on the wrong side, Im not trying to be disrespectful but that thread doesnt help me at all.

 

Ive made those images, i know theyre not faulty, ive burned them on another Pc with excellent results, but in this one both images burnings were recognized by the xbox as if they were movie DvD's, im just trying to know what is wrong with the drive on this computer so i cant fix it, or if it's a software related issue.

[mmalves]

Then we'll keep telling you to read that post again because your problem is listed there

[Templar]

Would you be so kind as to tell me where exactly does my problem fits in that thread?

The image isnt faulty, the xbox doesnt reject the disc and it actually reads it, so i cant see where my problem is suppossed to be.

 

I know the thread tells that you dont care if the burn was "succesful" im just trying to find out if there is some software failure or if its hardware related, I supposed that someone that actually knew what the things the log records mean could help me out, makes more sense that if i used imgburn i could ask for support in imgburn support´s forum.

 

But either we have a comunication problem or im in the wrong forum in wich case i would like (If you can take the time to) you to redirect me where i can get support for this kind of issue.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

If the disc burns and verifies ok then the disc itself is obviously fine... at least where your PC is concerned anyway.

 

So that should be the first thing you do.

 

The xbox isn't reading your disc properly (i.e. as a game or whatever), if it was then you wouldn't be here - so technically, it IS rejecting it.

 

Can you take the image that's not burning/working correctly and burn a working disc in your other PC (the one you mentioned in post 5) ?

[Templar]

As a matter of fact I already did that, twice, and they work and verify correctly.

 

However in this Pc i cannot verify as it ejects the disc after finishing it and refuses or cannot read it after burning.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

So what does it say in the log and the status bar of the main window once the disc has been ejected and reinserted just before the Verify operation is about to start?

 

All of this info is important, if you miss bits off then you just make us play guessing games... and nobody likes doing that.

 

It's unclear from your post if the discs that burn but don't verify in the same drive/PC do actually verify ok in another PC. Can you clarify either way please.

 

I would have said that burning but failing to verify in the same drive/PC would immediately tell you there's an issue somewhere with your drive/firmware/media combo.

The Pc that burned the coasters (Lets call it PC1) is the one that cant verify. After it finishes burning it ejects the tray and withdraws it to star verifying, but the drive doesnt recognize the disc after it's burned. The status bar says something in the like of "Optic Drive not ready, media isn't present" or something along thoose lines; The log doesn't record anything after that point.

 

The other Pc (PC2), burned the backups just fine, and verifies the disks also, apparently the coasters of PC1 have no image errors (Verified them on PC2), nonetheless are detected as DvD's by the xbox.

 

Also and on another point, i couldn't post normally so i had to quote you to answer, the post reply box redirects me to the main forum page.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Can PC1 read the DL discs burnt by PC2 ok?

 

What about if you have PC1 burn a single layer disc? Can it burn and verify those ok? (i.e. is this purely a DL disc issue)

 

When PC1 can't read the DL disc it's just burnt, what happens if you manually eject and reinsert the disc a few times when ImgBurn is at the 'Waiting for device to become ready...' stage? (it should say that line in the log window after it's cycled the tray just before it verifies)

 

If you eject and reinsert manaully, please check the status bar message changes to 'logical unit in process of becoming ready' before then going to the 'medium not present' one again. Do you see any other messages?

 

Can you try burning some better DL discs (Verbatim 2.4x speed DVD+R DL using the MKM-001-00 dye) in that drive or using different speeds (as per the post I linked you to in the first place). If your drive has an issue with the 'RITEK-S04-66' dye then simply stop using it!

[Templar]

PC1 cant read DL from PC2 either. It has no problems verifying/burning single layer discs though.

If I do the eject and reinsert disc when ImgBurn is at the 'Waiting for device to become ready...' stage it only changes to "medium not present" afterwards.

And last but not least, that's the only type of DL media they sell where i live, otherwise i wouldn't use it.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

I'd say the drive in PC1 is just (semi) faulty then if it can't burn DL discs that work full stop and it can't read good discs burnt by the drive in PC2 that do work.

 

For the sake of £20, you should probably invest in a new drive (or get yours fixed if it's under warranty) and be done with it.

but in this one both images burnings were recognized by the xbox as if they were movie DvD's

 

its bad DVD+RL. Ritek/Traxdata etc is junk. Buy Verbatim and you'll see. Your XBOX360 recognize only parts of DVD (first DVD VIDEO track (with stupid movie)). Burn it on Verbatim and it will work.

@Lightning UK

I know it need's fixing, i'll probably buy another one next week, but i wanted to know what went wrong with this one so it doesn't happen again, i thought that could be read in the logs but i guess it cant. Thanks for the help and time dedicated anyways

 

@igorv

If it was as easy to do as to write it i would have already done it, DL is a format not very well introduced in my country, the only ones available are (Whatever mark they may be) Ritek, and that means the only way to have Verbatim is importing, which would make making backups almost as expensive as buying the disc again, and would completely defeat the purpose of the backups, which is to keep the originals in good shape whilst still being able to play the game for a comparatively low price.
