TigerSoul Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Hi ppl! I'm burning a dual layer disc for a xbox360 game. Everything went fine, but the reported disc size in verify mode (the report to the right) states a larger size than the iso file size. It's 2048 bytes larger. Why is this? Is it some form of padding or overhead etc or didn't I get a perfect disc? if it is some form of padding or overhead, is this something selectable or mandatory and needed? I'm looking for a perfect 1:1 disc due to obvious reasons Kristian

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 DVD+ (plus) format media will always burn so the total number of sectors is divisible by 16 (the size of an ECC block). The drive does this itself.
TigerSoul Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Ok so then this burn is 100% correct. I'm concerned with having a 100% 1:1 disc as it is an xbox 360 disc (I'm sure you understand the reason). The thing I don't like here is that this "padding" must be readable by the drive together with the data, and that must mean that an image that is perfectly dividable by 16 which does not require padding is more 1:1 than an image that ISN'T dividiable with 16, thus requiring padding to be burned. Or am I wrong? An even harder question: is this padding only used on BURNED discs or is it used on pressed originals aswell? Thank you for your time!
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Assuming the image is correct in the first place, you've nothing to worry about. Everyone is in the same boat because they all use DVD+R DL media and all the drives will pad out to the nearest ECC block.
TigerSoul Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Yes they will, but do get into a little more detail. The xbox 360 scene has used the xtreme 3.0 rip format for quite some time, it does not use splitvid. These iso's are always of this size: 7,572,881,408 bytes. While the new splitvid format iso's are of one of these sizes: 7,835,492,352 or 7,834,892,288 bytes According to my calculations, the old xtreme 3.0 rips doesn't NEED padding since they can be divided by 16, while the new splitvid rips DOES need padding. This is my concern here. Of course nobody can tell whatever the padding difference will ever be an issue I'm just trying to understand what is the best to use. Or did I get this wrong? will the old format (7,572,881,408 bytes) also STILL be padded? Kristian
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Anything that's not divisible by 16 (sectors) will be padded by the drive when you burn to DVD+ media. That's it, end of story! It's not for me to know/say if the xbox guys have taken that into account, you'll have to run that by them.
TigerSoul Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Yeah I guess Thanks alot for the answers!
