When a downloaded ( and burnt onto DVD ) Xbox game is only recognised 10% of the time .. what could the problem be?
The DVD discs I use haven't changed, nor has anything else apart from newsgroups being the source .. though when it is recognised all runs well ( although seemingly slower loading ).
Any ideas?

possibly NTSC/PAL issue?

Version I have is Pal so should work fine.
Have also tried burning on top quality media, as well as budget discs and -rw cd has also been tested, all work the same way. Rarely recognised but when done so crashes/dirty disc error after few minutes.
Am guessing it's a problem with the release.

Xbox won't read any types of CD. Try burning at a slower/faster speed. You say 10% of the time, meaning you've downloaded at least 10 and only 1 has worked fine, what was different with this fine release? Chances of 9 releases you downloading being fucked arevery small, also NTSC tv's and Xbox's have issues playing Pal games and visa vesa.

By 10% of the time I mean the actual DVD I have burnt only works 10% of the time and most often is either 'unknown' or not recognised at all.
Nero I have only allows 6x or 8x .. am guessing that means my dvd can't burn any lower.
( for arguements sake, the game is the 'wrx-gtasa.part.rar' version of the game in ya sig ).

That version works for me. If you can burn at 6X you can also burn at 4X, 2X and 1X, try a different burner.
If it works 10% of the time and doesn't always fuck up at the same time then its your XBOX's DVD ROM, after a few years they go bad and will fail to read copied media.

I doubt it's the DVD drive as for one it's only around a year old but other discs work every time ( other burnt games ) without fail, so I'm guessing it's the release, which you say otherwise so perhaps it needs to be burnt at a lower speed.
Any idea how I'd get nero or perhaps another burning software to burn at 1x?

Have you cleared out the cache folders?

^ not sure what that would involve ..
would I've tried 3 releases in total of GTa:SA and all suffer the same problem ( disc not recognised most of the time ) so I've come to believe GTA is better protected against this as every other game works fine ...

Which media are you using?
Which chip has the xbox got or is it softmodded?
