Does the burner matter?

[gianni]

Hey guys... I don't know what kind of burner I have, since I've bought it a few months ago... I do know it can burn DL, though, since I do...

But let me ask this question: if my burner isn't Kreon or Pioneer or one of those high-quality highly-praised burners, is there a chance that the burn won't be of high quality (even though I'll burn at the lowest speed) and thus Microsoft will realize I'm running a backup and ban me from Live?

I'm not intending to even be connected to the internet using a backup, let alone playing multiplayer, so that's not the issue...

Thanks a bunch in advance, guys, I'm going to get my next batch of DL DVD's tomorrow and I want to know whether of not it's risky...

Ok, Top to bottom, the burner you would want to burn your games should have auto bitsetting. Nothing to do with the ban yet. Quality is a matter of media, and finding your drive's best speed. Now about the ban, if you have a hacked firmware on your xbox, which you do, microsoft might be able to see that in the future and you will be banned if they do. No offense but people need to read what they accept, its only like a paragraph.

Okay, thanks man... Isn't the best speed for my burner the lowest speed available?

I was just worried my burner might skip a byte or something and MS will find out...

2.4x is the recommended, any lower is just a waste. I burn at 8x with no problems, just use verbatims and get a decent burner I have the DVR-215DBK.

The M$ cannot know if the disc you are using is original or a backup, but they can find out if your firmware is hacked. And when they do find that out then they will ban you from XBL.
So, all your X360 games can be originals, but if you run them on a hacked X360, and go to XBL like that, then you will most likely be banned.
