    Hey, anyone know of any media that will play on an xbox as it's very fussy!!!

    At the moment i'm having to use imation dvd+rw which is ofcourse a total waste of money

    I've tried a couple of medias that work on my dvd player but not on an xbox.

    Cheers, slave.

    I use TDK -R (2x or 4x) burned w/Nero ver 5.5.10.56, under DVD-ROM (UDF) with "Force DVD compatibility mode (required for XBox)" checked...

    FYI, there are 3 different manufacturers of Xbox drives...
    Thompson, Philips, and Samsung. The first two are hit and miss, sometimes you get a really good one, and sometimes they are garbage.
    The Samsung is usually the best (and the newest) as it reads cd-r's much better than the others (assuming that they read them at all...), but it will not read +R's.

    I have been using ritek g03, g04, g05 on my Thompson and now on Samsung since upgrading...

    the samsungs DO read dvd+rs.mine does.
    it all depends on how theyve been burnt i guess.

    I have a 1.0 with a thomson and I have to say it i have yet to find a manufacturer or media type it wont read just fine. and that is after years of sticky fingers. perhaps I am just lucky.

    I burn a lot of Ritek discs for a friend who plays them fine on two unmodded Xbox's.
