I'm going to try burning it onto a Sony DVD-R, then if that doesn't work I'm going to try a Memorex DVD-R.

Stop being bitches and just do what I say alright? I've never ever had anything I burn not work on my xbox so it's not gonna hurt to listen to my advice. Burning at a slow speed does help because the xbox is a picky piece of crap and doesn't like it sometimes if you burn too fast.

2.4x works for me, you might get away with 4x, I'm not sure though.

I already have the latest version of C-Xbox Tool which I can made my ISO with. I downloaded Qwix anyways, but I don't need it because it practically does the same thing as C-Xbox Tool. I already have my ISO I just need to burn it onto a DVD-R. So, I have an ISO that I made with C-Xbox Tool (version 2.0.6) which I am going to burn onto a Memorex DVD-R using Nero Express (note I have Nero 7 Ultra Edition). I just don't see an option of changing the burn speed. So all I need to do is lower the burn speed, then I can burn away, and everything should work, right?

Just try to burn at the lowest speed possible, and s3any b0y this is not illegal at all, if you own the stuff you're burning its perfectly fine, know your stuff before you start ranting.

Yes it should work, although you may need to try another DVD-R brand as well, but just try this first. Also thats why I said not to use Nero Express, because you can't get to almost any of the useful options from it.

ill tell you this. Certain xboxs can only read certain disk. it truly depends if you have a thompson, philips or samsung drive. Samsung drives can read most disk but there are some that it cannot. So you may be doing things right but its your xboxs drive that cant read it. Keep that in mind

Yea, you need all the shared files, including the mainmenu.map, you also need the fonts folder and the bink folder but it can have nothing in it, and the media folder and that has to full of all the crap thats on the disc. I have a thopson in My xbox and it reads burnt DVDs fine.

Ok, I just made my H2 Killtrocity DVD-R using Nero Express, a Memorex DVD-R, and at a burn speed of 1x, I also got Nero to verify data on disk after burning, everything was Ok. I used C-Xbox Tool the make the .iso. When I go to put the DVD into the Xbox, it can't read it. I don't think it would make a difference if I used a Sony DVD-R. Should I make the .iso with a different program. Help!
