Burning Xbox 360 games?

[dugarry]

I'm trying to burn an Xbox 360 game using ImgBurn. I have WinRarred to get an .ISO file and am now trying to burn that but i get the error 'W 23:26:26 Failed to Write Sectors 0 - 31 - Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format'. I get this error when manually entering the layer break and using an automatic one. I am sure my drive is DL compatible. Any ideas where i am going wrong?

Thanks

Your drive doesn't support that specific brand/dye of media you're using, so look for firmware updates for your burner.

Also, use only Verbatim DVD+R DLs, as they're the only good ones, and burn at 2.4x for best results.

Where's the best place to find firmware updates for the NEC 3500 AG i think it is. Even if i don't update the formware, do you think it'll work with verbatims?

Thanks

In ImgBurn, go to Tools/Drive/Check For Firmware Updates. If it's indeed a NEC ND-3500AG then the latest firmware available is 2.1B.

 

And yes, if you use Verbatim DVD+R DLs it'll probably work without a firmware update, as this media has been around long enough that even the first dual-layer burners already supported it. It is a good practice to use the latest firmware, as it adds both write strategies for new media and better write strategies for older media.

 

Also, don't forget to booktype to DVD-ROM before burning

dugarry, ........ Img> tools> drive> check for firmware updates. This will automatically take you to any firmware updates for your drive while also showing you its current firmware. You could also check the manufactures website as well.

Also, the NEC.de website doesn't seem to be working so every time i click to upgrade firmware to 2.1B the page just says 'Cannot find server'.

Just because the Verbatim disc works doesn't mean you should forget about the firmware update. The drive being up-to-date firmware wise is a very important part of the burning process.
