Yeah I have that problem too, but it's also mainly with EA games I noticed........either I would get to the load up part and then it would never go past that, or in my Need 4 Speed it would work fine but as I'm racing part of the track flicker and sometimes obstacles dont appear on time......

But for starters you should burn on the slowest speed possible.........

I used Recordnow Max and copied it at 4x with no problems. Simply put the game in, read the disc to the HD and wrote it at 4x back to the DVD-R. What media are you using? I am using 4x Ritek DVD-Rs. Also which chip/no-swap method are you using?

Did you convert it to an ISO file first?

Once again do you have a chip or are using a swap method? I would try to convert the file into an ISO first and then burn it.

I can see what the vets here get tired and just refer people to the FAQs, :laugh:

But to get the ISO you just use a program like alcohol or NERO or even DVD decrypter to load the iso to your HD, then you can use any of those programs to also burn that image.

an image is a copy of a cd they come in different extensions, .bin with a .cue file nero has .nrg and .iso alcohol has.md5 etc...
