I use verbatim. Burn them with IMGburn at 8X speed. never had any problems. DO NOT go to 4X or 2X they give crap quality burns. To check the quality of your burn use this http://www.dvdinfopro.com/ it has a 14 day trial so don't bother buying it. You only need to check the quality of several burns burnt under the same settings to ensure they have a consistantly good quality. Then burn the rest of your backups under those same settings.

Dude. Burning at 4X produces terrible quality burns. I would show you a few, but my computer doesn't seem to like scanning the quality of disks.

 

I'm not promoting this but perhaps it is your drive? Drives vary in which "speed" they perform best at. The reason so many people recommend 4x is because the Wii ISO is something that needs to be done with quality, done too fast and the drive will fail to read it. Perhaps 8x or 6x works but I've never tried it, I'm only assuming off the advice given by other Tempers. Also in general when data is burned slower the drive takes more precision in the job. I've also read to burn discs at half the speed the max speed is of the DVD. So the max is 16x, burn at 8x.

For example if I'd like to rip an ISO I need to do it at 2x or else when I reburn it, my Wii drive won't read it.

As for the OP, we're not going to start a forum fight if that's what your looking for. Some people have different experiences and he's just one of the lucky ones that can burn Wii ISOs faster than most. Perhaps I'm being too soft and should try it myself and put my money where my mouth is. I don't have time so OP, try whatever is better for you.

 

@Hakoda: No no, It wasn't intentional, I just got caught up in the moment XD

I wasted 3 (THREE) DVDs using different write sppeds, but gcbackup launcher still doesn't respond past the logo unless I eject the DVD. Should I just invest in Verbatim DVDS (which cost about AUD$30 for 50) instead?

 

Remember to use this http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/Images/a/a7/M...tor_v3.2.4F.rar
So you don't waste discs by only burning one game.

I'm not sure if it's sure supported though. Been a long time since I've hacked a Wii.

 

Damn, I'm using cheap some 16x DVD+r that I bought from ASDA (Walmart), I burn using imgburn on fastest setting and they all work.

 

I always use Phillips 8X speed DVD-R for everything. They are fairly cheap, about $10 for 50. They work well for everything I do. I use IMGBurn to burn at 8X speed and have never had a bad burn. I don't see a need to spend the extra cash on Verbatim. Nor do I ever have a need to burn at slower speeds. If in doubt, verify when completed. Again, never had a miscompare with the above mentioned.
