I have a NEC DVD+RW (+ ONLY) ND-1100A in my computer. What Dvd Drive will work in my box to make it read DVD+R discs? What are good +r discs to use?

Thomson works with DVD+R and DVD+RW (this what I have)
Philips works with DVD+R but struggles with DVD+RW (or DVD-RW)
Samsung I not sure. Some people have no problems with DVD+R and DVD+RW, other have reported problems with DVD+R.

I use Ritek/Ricoh/Mitsubishi DVD+R media in my xbox. I've never had a single problem.

Any PC-DVDROM will read DVD's of any type for this is the way to go if you plan on using backup discs. If installed you open the possibility to using CD-R's and burning at MAX. I currently use Fuji and Memorex and Maxwell DVD+R and have no problem with them. I burn at 2.4x (soon 4x) when they decied to release the damn firmware upgrade.

LepPpeR

it all depends on ur xbox...some like em..some dont

I would never dream of putting a PC DVD-ROM in myself. If I bought a new original and wanted to back it up, I'd have to crack open my Xbox and swap the DVD-ROM just to do it. The Hell with that. Plenty of people here burn DVD±R/RW with great success; a DVD-ROM drive swap is not necessary unless you need to be able to read everything (CD-R/RW, DVD±R/RW) burned at lightspeed.

i have the same burner as you
xbox had samsung drive

everything i have tryed has worked so far

philips dvd+rw , verb's dvd+r & dvd+rw datasafe and traxdata

from my previous experiances most failed burns are down to user error and so far no x-box frisbies

happy burning

I currently have a 20 pack of Verbatim DVD+R discs(2.4 speed). I first I thought I couldnt use these for burning games. But the last reply said verb's DVD+R worked. These are the same discs right?


THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP.

What other DVD Drives have worked with DVD+R?

Just about all DVD drive play DVD+R.

A large percentage of set top DVD players can play DVD+R.
All xbox drives can play DVD+R, but some people with the samsung drive have had problems.

Any one know of DVD+R media the doesn't work with Xbox?

My xbox has a Samsung drive. Works fine with Ricoh dvd+rw but no luck with Ricoh dvd+r.

all xbox's can use all DVD-ROM drives.... its rare to get a Xbox that wont work with a PC DVD rom

I use Creative Labs 16X DVD rom
