DATA BURN method with screen shots

[Quall999]

yah, and this time my account won't be shutdown because I lacked a homepage. Im still sry about that Rms, I had no idea they did that.

do u have to use RecordNow Max to copy the games, or will any dvd writing software do??

[dude]

you can use most dvd burning burning software but you may have to configure it depending on the software. i know nero 5.5 had to be configured but i'm unsure as far as nero 6 goes ( havent tested it for xbox yet).

i prefere record now max because it can be used straite from the box no messing with settings etc.



UPDATE. nero 6 is absolutley appauling for burning xbox games. stay well clear of this software for xbox games.

i have updated the post to include some brief info on patching the .xbe files as all new games include the media check.

Hey Dude, dunno why you & a few others are so down on using Nero 6 as ive found its an excelent programme for burning xbox/ps2 games. I mite be a little bit of a newbie as ive only been doin dvd burns for a year or so but ive only ever struck probs with crappy media. I now only use ritek media & have had a 100% success rate other than recent games where ive had to update to craxtion over gdf image to create iso's. Dunno much about this Record Now software but i cant see any point in changing while its all working so well. Maybe its just that different hardware works better with certain software & in the end we all find what works best in our own machines.

hey if it works for you excellent. i have used nero since v 4 and do still use it however i and many others have found it rather lacking when burning xbox / ps2 games and dvd movies.

it's not very stable very prone to crashing etc and i personally have burned enough of the above in my time to know the success and failure rate's achived with nero.

for xbox games i always stick with record nowmax 4.50 this had been around a long time and is a tried and trusted piece of software and much more user friendley than nero.

for dvd movies i use alcohol 120 % as nero for me atleast pixilates the movie quite ofen where as alcohol never does this. also alcohol can cut through most data protection's unlike nero. the list of differences is endless and would take way to long for me to mention.

i do still use nero for mp3 convertions ie mp3 to cd and basic cd copying but again it can't handle most data protections so for pc games etc i tend to use either alcohol 120 % or clone cd.

every one has their own favorites and sadley nero is no longer one of mine. if it works for you like i said excellent but for the purposes i have listed above alot of people get problems with nero.

any way that's my opinion.

Cheers for the quick reply buddy! To be honest im not realy interested in movies or pc stuff as xbox & ps2 take up more than enuff rec time but its always good to know wat works best if i ever do. Down here at the bottom of the world its always good to know theres some good advice coming from seasoned pros like yourself & in the end a bit of debate helps us all.

[dude]

hey no problem i'm happy to voice my opinion and share my experience. i started with the xbox on day 1 and lost a hell of alot of discs before i found a system that worked for me.

well, this thread has been around for a while, but I am going to unsticky it now. The title and the fact that the screenies can't be displayed kind of defeats the purpose. so uh, here we go.
