Copying games

Hi everyone, can someone help me?

I need to copy NBA Live 2k3(dvd) to a DVD-R. I tried to follow the instructions here in this forum but it didn't help. I'm using recordNow Max, with a Toshiba SD-R5002. I made the reading at Max speed and the writing at 1x. I'm using Princo dvd-r. I tried this dvd backup on two consoles: one with the Messiah and another one with the NEO 2.2. I tried to boot the disk in various ways, but it won't load!

Help, plaese

I followed the instructions as written in the topic in this forum (for recordNow). Yes, I made a .gi file with RecordNow and afeter that I burned that on a dvd-r at the speed of 1x

If you followed the tutorial EXACTLY.......... Try a different brand of media........

Some Princos are not too bad..... Others $uck...............

Yes, I followed the tutorial exactly. What about Traxdata?

---------------the dvd you have are they dark purple bottoms
cause the darker the purple the better
the best media are ritek i think

also your burner you use, you should try burner at 2x

Traxdata discs are outstanding......

never tried those
i think ritek are cheaper a $1.00 a disk

Ya think that changing disk will resolve the problem?

Probably. And you havn't tried Traxdata Freakzilla because they are only available in the UK.

If I didn't read it wrong, you said you read the Disc at max speed. I think you should read your disc at "Min" speed. I usually read at min speed and burn at max speed.

Just a idea for you

why read so slow? if you have a clean disc, and a decent comp, 16x dvdrom should work fine

You should always start reading at min speed. Some drives can do a good job at max speed but some can't. I can make good copies at min and med speed but they don't always turn out at max. I always read and burn as slow as possible just to be sure. So my advice is to try min speed and work your way up.

fmarcof · #14 22-02-2003, 02:41

I'll try to read and write it at min speed. I'll also use a Traxdata, just to be sure.
