Why would the outer edge data not be used? DVD players read from the inner track outwards and the data they put there so they can fit within DVD specifications and show that movie (You have put your disc in something that isn't an Xbox 360, idiot). So the outer track is definately being used.

 

 

Outer track? No such thing, there's two trackslayers one on top of the other.

The Xbox 360 DVD isn't a "normal" DVD-ROM of a DVD-Video, it is a hybrid of the two with some extra proprietory "standards". Think of it as a CD+G type CD. Which can have CDDA audio for your CD player and a CD data partition on the same disclayer.

What you say is the logical answer...But it's not actually true for some bizzare reason MS do not use the outer 1GB (well 500mb since it takes 500mb from each layer). Just look at a normal Xbox 360 disc and it's easy to see for yourself and you can see where the data stops.

There must be a logical reason for that then.Though my dreams of Xbox 360 hedgemony have been shattered.

@Fumanchu they could be quoting an average speed?
