ive read and i have read and i have burned and bought a new external dvd burner.i dont know what im doing wrong so heres the specs

i have a samsung dvd drive
i burn my backups at 4x or 3x
i use dvd-r (maxell media)
and i patch the xbe files with quix and i used craxtion
I did EVERYTING in that good trouble shoter that chelf elf has.

what i my backups do when i try to load them.

i put it in, then my screen says "please wait while loading disc" then the screen turns black and my avalaunch logo shows up....then it says, please wait while loading disc, then my avalauch logo will show..

basically it will do that over and over again, untill i turn it off then back on again.

any help would be nice

like i said, i did everything that chelf elf said to do....

why are you seeing a dash? What happens when you boot off the game disc?

@ the original post, do you still have a blank DVD-R? If so pop it in your burner and use http://www.dvdinfopro.com to find out the full media manufacturer info. Recently Maxell has taken a bit of a dive in quality as they have started outsourcing to Taiwanese manufacturers.

ok...for one...i have know idea why i see my dash..and the origanal will work fine.

jest...what does that program do? im dowloading it now...but yeah....every time i put my back up in it will say now loading then show avalaunch logo then it will now loading then show my avalaunch logo....it will do that over and over again until i rest my xbox.

ok ive used the program....i found somthing interesting...i did the media info check and the results showed..well a bunch stuff but what really stuck out was

Region information N/A not a DVD-VIDEO

thats werid...im using a maxell dvd-r video/data media. i dont know...i think im giving up on the buring my back up thing. i really just wanted to keep my hdd emty. oh well

get some taiyo yudens from shop4tech, i think hester has a coupon code for 10% off... CS10 or GS10 i believe

like 27 shipped for 100 of some of the greatest all around disc available, get the dvd-r value yudens.

Who is hester? Your grandmother or something. Or did you mean: JESTER.

Anyways I agree on the TY media but I would still like to know the basic media manufacturer info. He still hasn't given it to us yet. Also is the media MIJ (Made In Japan) or MIT (Made in Taiwan)?

lmao...
