Xbox Comapatible with DVD+R DL?
 

I've backed up a few movies via dvd-decrypter and my xbox wont play the discs. Has anyone tried a dual layered disc in their machine?

Btw, i have a Samsung drive and that basically plays anything i throw at it, yet not DL's at the moment.

I have a Samsung as well but dont they have a hard time with +R to begin with? Ive never tried any dual layered discs with it yet either.




Tyler!

I remember a while back somebody stated that DL dvd's worked fine. It is probably an issue with the samsung drive as Tyler said.

dvd+r don´t work with samsung drive , but the dvd+rw will.

Hi!
Movies... work fine!
I have the "original" drive, put a DVD+R DL and was playing fine!
Games did not tried yet... but problably... yes!

Came to the sad conclusion myself just recently that +Rs don't work with samsung drive:(

Some DVD+R will work if you have a burner capable of setting bitsettings.
If so you can burn DVD+R and 'fool' the target reader into thinking it is a DVD-rom and therefore get the wanted result.

This is not a very complicated process and many burners are in fact capable of it. Do some research on google and you will find what you need.

yeah i just tried the bitsetting on my Liteon drive. Movies will play fine if set to dvd-rom, yet games will not work. Occasionally, the xbox will boot the disk but then give a dirty disk error. Very strange, as i tried all the bit settings for games prior to burning and get the same results evertime, yet movies will play flawless.

I think that happens becaues of the fact that games uses files on both layers. Therefore there should be some file on the dvd that says "file x2 on layer x". A backuped game will not "know" where the switch between the layers are and this can result in that file x2 might be on the wrong physicall layer.

There are some project going on over at xbox-scene though that is about making small files that has the information about where on the disc files are stored.

thanks for the info
