menace56 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) I am having a nightmare. I am trying to burn image files for my Xbox 360. I am using Mirror DVD+R DL Inkjet Printable Disks and Imgburn 2.1.0.0 and my DVD Burner is a pioneer 111d and the Firmware is 1.29. I have read many forums that discus various issues regarding the burning of image files and the vast majority say that Verbatim disks are the be all and end all, this may be so, but what confuses me even more is that I have burned one disk off successfully. If I hadn't burned, I could understand... hence why I am asking for ANY help that is available. My log file is as follows: I 18:50:56 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!

dontasciime Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 those discs are not fit for the job. sorry but the only way to go are with MKM verbatims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Sounds like you were lucky to get 1 decent burn from them - personally I think they are Verb DVD+R DL are the only way to go ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your firmware appears to be up to date but your choice of media is no good. You should be using nothing but Verbatim DVD+R DL discs. The problem is that according to your log your drive will not burn + media. DO NOT TRY TO USE Verbatim DVD-R DL discs. Do you have another burner you could use?

I do have a TSSTcorp CD/DVD SH-S162L (Samsung Lightscribe) aswell, which one is best to use? and will this work with Mirror +R DL or do I have to get Verbatim?

lfcrule1972 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yeah what donta said - the Pioneer drive should be fine with decent media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menace56 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Yeah what donta said - the Pioneer drive should be fine with decent media It still confuses me as a friend of mine (the one who recommended that I buy Pioneer and Mirror disks) is using exactly the same, yet he has a 100% track record with these disks! I understand that verbatim are top end when it comes to media, and that I got lucky with 1 out of 15 disks burned correctly. So why is it that he is burning 100% correctly 100% of the time?

lfcrule1972 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Differernt spindles of discs, different media ID (dye) or he could just be lucky. The problem with less reliable media is pinning down the problems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No two drives are ever the same, even the same make and model, he could be running a different firmware version to yours, and many other things on his machine could also be different to yours.

menace56 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 OK OK OK I have been out and begrudgingly bought more disks, but for once in my life I have listened and I bought Verb dvd+R DL 2.4x (Pack of 10 ?39.99) Ouch!! But couldn't wait to ebay for them as I wanted to sort this all out, you all know how it is!! Anyways, humility is a big mans game and I have to admit, I was wrong to doubt. I have now just burned 5 disks in a row 100% successfully. So, big thanks for all the advice from you all. Right must go, I still have 5 blank disks left.
