1.record now max 4.5
2. ritek dvd -r

Seems like your having probs with Nero too now. You can either try RNM with the latest updated px engine or try other types of recording software.

Not likely. Its just that Xbox sometimes uses different types of files for music (WMA) which can be very small in comparison to the PS2 files. But the still deliver the same great quality.

Some to try would be Alcohol120% or Sonic RecordNowDX which is just a newer version of recordNowMax (will probably support yr burner).

ok i finally got a working copy of kill switch, i usually just copy on the fly but instead i created an image and it worked fine, but has anyone tried backin up medal of honor rising sun? i copied on the fly and its horrible it freezes so much and when i tried to create an image i get another extra file its weird. MOH:RS is 4.28 GB the image is only 3.99 plus another file labeled mohrs.nrg001 is 299 mb, i tried to just burn the image but it doesnt work i get an error so if anyone could help me make a working copy of rising sun much appreciated

Many members of this Forum will say, NEVER BURN ON THE FLY. And I am here to tell you the same thing. Always make an image on your hard drive and then burn. You will avoid many errors and cut down on your coaster production. :D Which program are you using to copy MOH: Rising sun? Also, what error are you getting when you try to burn the image? More info you supply= more help you will recieve

Update:
From your file extension I see that you are using Nero. (.nrg) I have never got two image files from nero. This is strange. One thing that would help is to clean your original. Scratches on your original will get "burned" into your back-up. (Another good reason to make an image file first)

You could try using Alcohol 120% or Sonic Record Now DX as Ottoman suggested and post the results.

this is actually my first time having errors copying on fly, even though its not recomended it worked good for a while...but anyways when i went to make an image on my HD for MOH this is what happens....

the OG game is 4.28GB

the image that nero made is only 3.99GB and right next to it is another file wich is 293Mb and basically what happens when i try to burn the nero image (the 3.99 GB) it says not a valid nero image and it closes on me

i tried alcohol in the past and made a bunch of coasters but maybe i was doin something wrong...

yes mate well i think if u have the real game why dont u just play the orrigonal? or did u nick it off a friend or rent it and copy it seems like some piracy goin on here. Maybe use rnm to burn instead

I now have Kill Switch and have booted it up 3 times and it works fully.


@Sublime

Do you have a FAT32 file system or NTSF? Im thinkin that maybe the newer Nero does what RNM and Prassi has been doing forever. Splitting up the files for people without NTSF file system.

Tyler,
I am using fat32 and my newest version of nero (6.0.0.23) doesn't split up the image. Atleast it hasn't before. I'll use nero instead of my RNM for once and post the results.

Sublime,
My advice for you would be try record now max and see if that helps. You can get demos of record now on the web. Do a google search.
