However, it depends how you boot your backups as it's harder to boot a dual layer backup.

Im home guys.. What do you mean by that??

I selected "MAKE IMAGE FILE FROM DISC" on IMGBURN and i set the speed to MAX / 8x... And i have the ISO file now..

Is that right?? As of now i don't have any DUAL LAYER disc.. Will buy on the market this coming Tuesday which is tomorrow..

1- You never burn a dual layer disc at 8x, for Varbatims it's usually 2.4x.

2- What I meant is a lot of boot methods cannot boot dual layer discs... for example ESR and some modchips.

I see... That's scary huh.. Anyway Thankyou so much! Will try that later.

Burning at high speed is the way i do my PS2 and XBOX 360 for about 5 years and i've had about 3-4 messed up discs.

It doesn't really make a difference if you've got a good quality writer and discs.

it depends what you consider high speed; keep in mind we're talking about dual layer discs. Memorex and Verbatim are usually the 2 options in most stores; Verbatim is better than Memorex, and their recommended burn speed is 2.4x but they support up to 6x.

According to the official guides:

All consoles made before mid 2008 work with FMCB. The new Slim SCPH-9xxxxx models with a Date code of 8C and a BIOS v230 dont work with FMCB. All models after this version also will not work with FMCB.

And please don't hijack threads.

but i downsized GOW to 4Gb from a rip without downgrading video files etc.
