executioner Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Why does the Pioneer manual make it sound so easy to make a background disc but it sounds so difficult on here? Does Pioneers way work? I have a DL DVD burner on my HP but dont have a clue what you all are talking about with all the iso etc stuff. :shock: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 The methods described here are only for the D1 and D2 units. The pioneer feature only works on the N's and the Z1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoopcoupe Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 if you want to make a background disc all you is get a blank cdr (not dual layer, and not a dvd +/- r, just a regular old CD-R) find a file that is 100MB or more on your hard drive (NO mp3 files) find the files that you want to use for backgrounds in your burning program, create a folder named "BG" put the pics in the BG folder, put the 100MB on the disk also (NO mp3 files) and that's it. burn it. I used a CD-RW because I want to be able to change the pics at random. I loaded up the CDRW and then put some backgrounds in the N3. I forgot some pics, so I went back to the computer, put some more pics on the disc, re-burned, and bam, back to the car to put in the other backgrounds. NO mp3s no dual layer dvds no dvd +/- r's easy as pie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CLOUSEAU Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 I think you might be getting confused between just making simple backgrounds and then those instructions on changing the boot image. Yes, background images are as simple as Pioneer says they are... However when you get into changing the startup boot images ect... that's where it gets a lot more complicated where you would need a DVD burner that can burn dual layer DVD's and also some additional software.
