databurn seems to works for me the best, so i suggest you use that.

yeah use the data burn method.

p.s if you don't mind me asking. dvd media not cheap ? i live in the uk and get mine for about 70. pence per disc.

Dude, which brand of dvd's do you use? I have HP and Verbatum and the games I have backup get reading errors as oppsed to games i back up on other dvd media.

bulkpaq generation 4 green dvd-r x2 speed
datawrite red x 4 speed dvd-r

both these i use for data ( mp3's) movies and xbox games all perfect with no problems. like i said depending on supplier i get them for around 70 p each or some suppliers sell them for 25 for £17.00 or a spindle of 50 discs for £ 34.00

i have used virtually every brand going to date but i find the price and overall stabillity very good value

verbatim isnt supposed to be top noch on dvd brands?

Quall999 · #8 12-08-2003, 08:41

Verbatim isn't bad, but they aren't the best. They have been making media for a very long time, so I ussually go for their products.
