BiBa Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I've made a lot of copies voor de XBOX 360 and for the Sims 3 I get a error which I never had before. I use Verbatim 8x DVD-DL's. I use the same burner, I checked with ABXG so I don't know what I am doing wrong. I've spent multiple DVD's but all with the same result, I get an error and the XBOX won't recognize the DVD Here is my log:sims 3 log.txt Does somebody have a suggestion?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Try cleaning your drive with a cleaning disc. I have no faith in slimline burners and would always advise people to get a normal size one instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBa Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Is it for sure my burner and not the file? Because I burn another game and this game didn't gave an error. I'll at least buy a cleaner tomorrow. It can't harm anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 The drive doesn't know or care about what you're burning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBa Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Okey. I'll try it tomorrow. Thanks for the advise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBa Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Cleaning the burner didn't work. I'm now getting a new error: Focus servo Error sims 3 new log.log So it almost have to be my burner. The weird thing is i have burned dozens of games with the same setup, burner and verbatim disc en i didn't have problems before. I've also burned Fable and this went fine...

ianymaty Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I 12:52:42 Destination Device: [1:0:0] MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-841S 1.60 (E:) (ATA)I 12:52:42 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 2,4x) Are you sure that you allways used the 8x media and not the 2.4x MKM-001-00 ? Your drive is old and claims it can write that media only at 2.4x, even if the media is 8x rated. Try to find 2.4x media MKM-001-00. No offence but do a research and you will find that the quality of your burner is written in his name. MatSHITa. Laptop burners are rubbish in general. Get yourself a normal size one (not slim) in an external enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have a real bad qualityburner but i don't have the money for a proper external replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 When time comes and you lose some discs because your burner can't burn them properly you draw a line and put in balance. A drive + external enclosure is about as same price as 2x25 Verbatim DVD+DL 8x (depends on where you buy them). Let's say: 1 pack = burner and 1 pack = enclosure. Are you going to lose more discs or get a proper drive? The ball is on your side of field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiBa Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 I thought a proper burner costs € 50,- or more, but if search a second ago and I found one (LG External DVD±R Burnerr 20x USB 2.0 SATA/IDE GE20NU11) for 35,-. So it may indeed be better to spend some money instead of waist money by throwing discs away;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Research any potential purchase over at MyCE. There are normally loads of threads for specific drives where people have burnt discs and scanned them to check the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
