Backup says Unreadable Disk

Hi Everyone,
I just successfully flashed my Benq VAD6038 with the 1.5 IXtreme using Iprep 008. I burned a .mdf using magic iso onto a Memorex DLand was unable to load the disk on my console. I popped in an original Xbox 360 game and it worked fine. Are there specific disks I should be using? Methods of burning?
I've also verified that the iso is stealth using dvdMulleter. Please advise.

Well technically its not an iso, its an mdf which is a file type made by magic iso.
Anyhow, we only support backups, and not illigal downloads, with that said, I am going to assume you are abiding by the rules, so your problem is probably the disk.
Try a verbatim dual layer, you can buy a pack, or a single one off ebay...

Yes, this is a legal backup of a game I do own. Thanks for the response guys. It was very helpful.

I dont really know how you would have gotten a .mdf unless you did hot swap...
You should try using XBC to rip the game, then burn to your current dvd+r dl's to see if they work. 9 times out of 10 they dont and you will need to go buy verbatim's.

Memorex DL discs don't work with samsungs or Benq drives I know this for a fact. The games will sometimes boot but will freeze in the menu. Just my experience, use Verbatim DL's.

there are many disc brands that will work
but
people get the best results from verbatim (most of the time)
