Verbatim..a no go? Unrecovered Read Error

[dafranchise1987]

First of all..hi guys..first post and first topic..did a lil stalking for a while....anyway...i recently...started backing up my 360 collection...and i did no research on certain disc's before hand...and i learned the hard way after purchasing some crappy circuit city Nexxtech's..anyway after 3 fails...@ Verifying 50% through Unrecovered Read Error

 

So i went out and bought a 5 pack of verbatim's...with good hope........and to my futile attempts....

it got to 50% and Same error... below is the log for it...ummmm p.s how important is the verifying step....ive skipped it on 2 other of the circuit city disc's...and they burned successfully..cept one didnt play in my xbox and the other one...was a wrong region....

Alright just did both....

Then try with a new burn at 2.4x. It might be that the media code of those discs are still to new for the writer/firmware. The Verbatims that are packed in a box with only 2.4x speeds might work better.

The first burn is still unknown if it's good as there was no verify. The other one looks as your writer doesn't like the 8x rated Verbatims. You might be more lucky if you can find a package that is only 2.4x rated (Made in Singapore), as that media code has been around longer and your burners firmware might have better support for that media code. The latest firmware is also rather old and I don't think there will be any new releases. Perhaps time to get a new writer that likes both your current media brands.
