Since many are troubled with their settings on ImgBurn, I decided to create this tutorial to share and help.

These are the settings I do for my XGD2 and XGD3 games.
I hope that this tutorial would help you in burning your Xbox 360 games successfully.
By the way, I'm open for constructive criticism. Thanks TheGameScene.com

General Instruction:

Always run the ISO of the game you want to burn on ABGX360 to ensure that your ISO is fine and not corrupted

Click the search icon under "Source" and browse then open the ".dvd" file of the game you want to burn.
Under "Destination", select the DVD drive that you want to use for burning your game.
Choose either 2.4x or 4x as your write speed (whichever is supported by your media and drive).
Uncheck "Verify" box




I really don't configure the I/O settings but you may.
This is the suggested settings if you get I/O error on 40 - 50 % when burning XGD3 games on non Lite-On drive.
Thanks to LightStorm28 for the share.








Go to "Tools" then click "Settings" on the drop-down list

For XGD2 Games, copy my settings below and click "Ok" to save changes.

II. XGD3 GAMES

A. Truncating and Overburning XGD3 Games:




Copy my settings below and click "Ok" to save changes.



First, there will be an alert box, asking if you want to use BurnerMAX Payload Tool since there's no enough space to burn the game.

Click "No" since you'll be truncating or overburning your game.






Another alert box will pop-out, this time it will ask you if you want to truncate or overburn the game


Truncate method were formerly recommended but because new games tends to give "Unrecognized" / "Unreadable" disc error when being truncated, overburn became more reliable than truncate method for 2013 games.

I would only recommend truncate method if you'll be burning 2011 and 2012 XGD3 games
(except for Kingdom Of Amalur: Reckoning and Hitman Absolution since they give issues if truncated)






Again, for 2013 games, it is highly recommended to choose "Overburn"






Another alert box will pop-out either you choose Truncate or Overburn.

Just click "No" to this, because we are going to use the layer break we set awhile ago which is "2086912".






Again, another alert box will pop-out saying that our layer break is not allowed.

Just click "Yes" to this since we really want to use our user specified layer break





If you chose "Overburn", you will get an I/O error when you reach 97% and you'll see that there are 20 retries on the ImgBurn log,

Just click "Cancel" on this pop-up to get to the finalizing disc






Choose "Yes" if asked to try and perform "Close Track / Session / Disc" functions






Settings below will help you get rid of all the alert box above (except for I/O error in overburn). This is great for those who always truncate or overburn their games and don't use BurnerMAX Payload Tool. Also this settings won't affect XGD2 burns.






B. For BurnerMAX Payload Tool




Copy my settings below and click "Ok" to save changes.






If you have a Lite-On DVD Drive, go to "Change Advanced Settings"










You can also go here if you want a thorough tutorial on how to burn XGD3 games using BurnerMAX payload tool:

C. For Flashed iHAS and Cross-Flashed DVD Burner
