Let me first start by saying that I DO OWN these games, I just want to back them up because in my house, things get beat up pretty fast. I dont want to waste alot of HDD space so I planned on just copying the disc's. All my xbox consoles are softmodded and should play burnt back ups right?
Do I just rip the games to ISO and then burn them at slow speed with nero or a similar program?
Thanks in advance!!

You may have to try out a couple of different dvdrs depending on what kind of drive you have. I have all my movies backed up and they all play on my xbox. I'm not sure what brand they are though.... All i know is that they were free from my mom's work and they're proffesional quality. _________________

Maxell DVD-R's have worked for everything else with my thompson drive so I'll give them a try first
Thans for the quick replies

I forget what its called, but I believe it comes with the AID ISO
Edit: You can create the iso with craxion I think... Availible in the downloads section _________________

I'm just making the ISO's with DVD2xbox and then ftping them to the PC to be burnt. Alot easier that way.

Ok.. I got new questions. When i use DVD2Xbox to make the ISO's of my game disc's, It creates 2 seperate ISO's and an XBE file. How can I creat a game back up from these? Thanks in advance!

Ok.. He's the deal with Craxtion and Qwix.
Craxtion gives me an error every time I open it and then shuts down. I have reinstalled and redownloaded it over and over.
With Qwix, Since my pc dvd rom wont read an xboxgame, do I just put the game in my xbox and ftp all the contents of the game to my pc and make an ISO from that?

heres what i do every time and it works:
dvd2xbox the game to my xbox (non iso mode)
then ftp that folder to my desktop
then use qwix to make an iso out of that game folder
then burn the iso with dvd-decryptor
craxion is probably giving you the error because i believe it uses microsoft.net framework 2.0 and you might not have that, but following the steps above will get you going
i use maxell as well...cheapest and they work.

you can make an ISO on the pc using Qwix by pointing Qwix directly at the xbox dvd drive. check my tut at the following link
I tried that first. I had it all set up to connect to the xbox and was able to read the drives but as soon as I tried to make the iso I got an error saying invalid data or something like that.
