How To Make A Halo 2 DVD?

Twinbird24 · Post by **Twinbird24** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 10:58 am

How would you be able to make a Halo 2 DVD. I already tried >THIS< tutorial but it's old and doesn't work anymore, plus it tells you to burn the .iso file onto a CD-R. So, if anyone knows how to take all your Halo 2 files and burn them onto a DVD-R (or something else) then be able to play them on your Xbox, tell me (Note I have a hard modded Xbox, also I have Windows XP so don't make a tutorial taking about some old system). Thanks!

just make the iso and burn it to a DVD, I used that tut and it worked fine, just modify it some, so like put single player maps in there and stuff.

That's what I'm saying, I can't burn it onto a DVD, the tutorial is old. And when I burned the .iso file onto a DVD-R, my Xbox said there was No Disk in the DVD Drive.

I made the .iso, I used Nero to try and burn it onto a DVD, but the DVD didn't work. I then tried to use xISO, but it couldn't recognize my drivers.

You can only burn the .iso onto a CD-R using xISO of you have Windows 95 or NT (which are both really old).

Whats Nero?? and i have XP and installed the new drivers, you just need to go to the link in the readme, mine says it cant read the disk and my CD-R is too small even tho the file is 500 some MB.

When I go to the link and download the .zip and fun the .exe file, a window pops up and says that it will update my Windown 95/NT drivers, but I have Windows XP, so the update won't do shit.

Ugh, this isn't difficult. What speed did you burn at? You have to burn as slowly as possible (2.4x is fine for me). Secondly you might have to try several different brands of DVD-R because the xbox is really picky about what it will and won't read. Nero is fine for burning the ISO, it's what I use.

Well make the ISO with ISOX then burn it with Nero.

ok where would i obtain this Nero?

Yea nero works wonders, it will probally let you burn it to a DVD, or use C-XBOX tool to make the iso

I tried it with a Memorex DVD-R (16x, 4.7 GB, 120 min video space). Should I use another DVD-R? I also have a Sony DVD-R (16x/1x, 4.7 GB, 120 min video space) which I used to burn all my other games onto but I ran out so now I'm using Memorex for the moment. Does it really matter which DVD I put it on? Should I try it with Sony?

I have C-XboxTool, how do I use it to create my ISO? Also, can I use it to FTP?

Ok, nevermind, I figured out how to make an ISO and connect to my Xbox with C-XboxTool. It's a really usueful program.

How can I change the speed that the ISO is being burned onto the DVD-R? I see no option for that.

Open Nero (not Nero Express because that sucks). Then close the popup telling you to pick a type of CD to burn, then up top click Recorder > Burn Image. Select your image and click Ok. Then a little popup thing comes up, click on the burn tab if it isn't already on it. Now look for the little drop down box that says Burn Speed. Also make sure that in the drop down box in the upper left that you selected DVD.

I have Nero 7 (Ultra Edition), so I'm a little lost when reading your little tutorial. But does it really matter what the burn speen is? I've always used Nero Express and I don't see what's wrong with it.

It helps to burn at a low speed to burn to a CDRW but I don't think it makes a difference with DVD-R, you could try another brand though, Memorex works fine for me though.

I have had problems with this also, I got it to work once, now it don't work anymore.

Why would burning it at a slow speed do anything?
