Guest as7r080y Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 hi guys, just wondering if the layer break setting set to L0 = 1913760 really needs to be done to burn the xbox 360 images. up till now ive been using this setting, however today i burnt an image and forgot to enter the layer break settings and the game works fine in the 360 so im wondering if it actually is needed at all ? the settings it was on at the time of burning was Calculate Optimal. cheers
mmalves Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 Yes, for X360 games the layer break must be at 1,913,760 sectors; however, if you burnt the image from the .dvd file (as you should ) then that file told ImgBurn to set the layer break at 1,913,760 (open the .dvd file in Notepad and you'll see ).
Guest as7r080y Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 there you go nice and easy answer, yes the .dvd file is always loaded i was curious all this time wether imgburn actually used this information in the .dvd file which of now it seems it does, so i can infact leave it to the default settings and just load the .dvd file from now on and bobs your uncle... thanks for clearing that up
mmalves Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 If the layer break in the settings is manually set to a value, and that value isn't the same as the .dvd/.mds file, ImgBurn will warn you of the different values and won't start the burn, thus saving you from wasting a disc

Overfiend Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Hi guys. Right here goes. I've a game for 360 which i've downloaded and want to burn to disc for the mate that asked me to download as his disc is damaged. 1st off i know nothing about burning theses discs as i've already wasted 3 dual layered discs. I used Nero which from what i gather was 1st mistake. I have the iso of the game and a .dvd file. Nero or dvd decrypter will use the .dvd file, however ImgBurn will. My 1st three attempts were basically run throughs and i just loaded img to nero and burned at slowest speed (4X). My main question is if i load the .Dvd file using ImgBurn and burn the disc will it work. Its a USA game, region free. Also if anyone can point me to a comprehensive guide thats helps getting started with this sort of s**t. Any help appreciated guys, as you can imagine i don't want 3 failed burns to turn into 4 or 5. Incidentally here's a list of my optical drives supported features as knowing my luck it'll have a support problem or something Device Description ATAPI DVD A DH20A3H Supported Disk Types BD-ROM Not Supported BD-R Not Supported BD-RE Not Supported HD DVD-ROM Not Supported HD DVD-R Not Supported HD DVD-RW Not Supported DVD-ROM Read DVD+R9 Dual Layer Read + Write DVD+R Read + Write DVD+RW Read + Write DVD-R9 Dual Layer Read + Write DVD-R Read + Write DVD-RW Read + Write DVD-RAM Read + Write CD-ROM Read CD-R Read + Write CD-RW Read + Write Optical Drive Features Buffer Underrun Protection Supported C2 Error Pointers Supported CD+G Not Supported CD-Text Supported Hybrid Disc Not Supported JustLink Supported LabelFlash Not Supported Layer-Jump Recording Supported LightScribe Supported Mount Rainier Not Supported SMART Not Supported CSS Supported CPRM Supported AACS Not Supported VCPS Not Supported BD CPS Not Supported Once again guys thanks for any advice given, I'd really appreciate any help with this
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Put it this way, if it doesn't work, it won't be anything to do with ImgBurn. Your drive is fine. Make sure the firmware on it is up-to-date and that you're using decent quality double layer discs - which basically means Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL (MKM-001-00 dye) made in Singapore.
