Ok, Greetings everyone! My first post is a simple question which I hope some of the knowledgeable people on this forum might be able to answer quickly and easily.

I have a Samsung SH-D162C drive with the latest Kreon firmware, which is what I use to rip the .iso from the game disk and create the .dvd file (with the ingenius suport of the "Xbox Backup Creator" program). I burn using Verbatim media (as I see this is the preferred media), using my LG GWA-4165B (don't knock it, it works). I burn with ImgBurn at 2.4x, and have succesfully backed up one game (ChromeHounds).

However, when I tried to back up Oblivion, the .iso ripped fine (or seemed to, anyhow) - I checked the stealth sector - and everything looked good. I burned at 2.4x on Verbatim media and the disk would not finalize (twice in a row). It would burn all the way, and then not finalize. Obviously, the disks were unplayable.

I was thinking two things:

1.) A bad .iso (not that it should make a difference)

2.) There is a particular setting on xbox creator or imgburn that I am misssing.

Any thoughts?

No, but I've only tried this one other game. I don't understand why it would burn one, and not another. Should I try a different game? Or do you think my burner suddenly went bad?

Try inserting the bad burns back into the burner, load up ImgBurn, go to Tools > Drive > Close > Disc.

Sorry for the late reply - have been gone for a while.

Yes, Textbook, I tried this, but nothing seemed to happen. The drive didn't even act as if it were attemtping to close out a disk session. However, I did manage to copy and burn a different game after these two bad burns. It just doesn't want to burn that particualr .iso.


Anyone else had this problem?

Actually, no, it's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

Why, does this problem occur with NFS: Carbon as well?

So - I tried it again, and this time it worked. Strange. Maybe it's like a "luck-of-the-draw" thing.

Same media, same burner, same rate, and same .iso. Well, it worked anyhow.
