Schtrom released a new version of Schtrom360Xtract, a tool that will allow you to easily dump Xbox/Xbox360 gamedata, extract/patch the Security Sectors and fully prepare the image for burning in 1 step. This new version comes with support to create stealth media discs (xtreme v3.0+):
What's new/fixed (since v2.0):
* now extracts video.iso, pfi.bin and dmi.bin for xtreme 3.0 style images
* also tested with xtreme V3.2
* single extraction of video.iso, pfi.bin, dmi.bin, ss.bin and game.iso supported
* the extraction can be done from original discs, copied discs and image files
* two whole disc extraction methods:
-xtreme 3.0 style (video.iso, pfi.bin, dmi.bin)
-xtreme 2.0 style (blank.iso, no pfi.bin, no dmi.bin)
* injection of video.iso, pfi.bin, dmi.bin, ss.bin and game.iso to an image
* automatic detection of Xbox1 or Xbox360 game discs depending on the size
* stealth checks added for Xbox1 and Xbox360 copied discs and images by acidflash
* DVD-ROM support for USB SH-D162C by acidflash
* It seems to be the best to use blocks of 16 sectors when reading the discs, especially for error corrections on Xbox1 discs this works best
