some backups freezes at the 3rd stage or some fixed point in game, it either freezes up or says dirty disc error.

I'm using crextion 3.1 with ximage, why is that? is because the program i use? is crextion 3.1 the currently best or should I try something else?

Anyone know why some of my games freeze at certain level of a game? splintercell pandora tomorrow freezes at lvl 2, some other game freeze at lvl 3. this is strange. I used xiso and crextion 3.1 both, they both cause problems. Suggestions?

I wish I had enough time to play Slinter Cell Pandora's Tomorrow so I could find out if its just you. Maybe if I get a chance Ill play up to level 2 and see.

Well, it is probably either one of these things:

1. missing/corrupted game file
2. the media
3. dvd-rom
4. Bad burn
5. Bad iso

-There is always a chance of files corrupting during the ftp process, but it is very unlikely.
-If the dvd media works fine for all the other games you've burned, I would rule that one out.
-If you have a thompson drive, well, it is possible, but since the other parts of the game plays fine and it freezes at the same point, it probably isn't your drive
-A bad burn can be the problem
-bad iso can be a problem as well.

What I would do is recopy the gamedisk to your PC. Then, re-create the iso image and try and burn it again. That way, you are retrying to burn, going against all 3 of the probable things that may have went wrong.
