how to make a backup dvd work on ps2?

[datsun1200]

I am making a dvd backup on dvdx copy but it will not work on my v4 ps2. The backup works on my dvd player. Is there something i need to do?

I've only made 1 backup of a dvd, and it works on my PS2. I used dvd X copy.

What type of dvd are you using, DVD-r or DVD+r? The older playstations have dvd-roms that can't read dvd+r, however they can read dvd-r.

Yeah it sounds like you used +r/+rw media or possibly even -rw. If you are using one of these formats you need to either get a new ps2, or burn to -r if your burner allows you to do so, if it doesn't you will need a -r burner for it to work with your weak v4 laser.

What version dvdxcopy did you use and also what settings?

[datsun1200]

I have dvdx copy v1.4.1? I just got it from dvdx copy web page. I dont use any setting i just put in the dvd in open dvdx copy and start copying.

thats odd. What media brand are you using? not K hypermedia i hope.

yup:o lol. I am useing k hypermedia JUNK is thats Y?

[Quall999]

lol, yah. They are horrible. If you actually get a movie working with them, consider yourself lucky because they are the worst brand in the world. I never once got anything to burn on them, movie or data. I have a sony DRU500ax and your problem will probably e solved by switching media.

heh, my local microcenter had a sail on them. 5pack for $5. The sale ended 2 days later because they had so many returns. The store even took them off the shelf and stopped selling them. Such a shame because they had like 100 packs.

LOL:) I am one of the ones that got the 5pack junk dvd for $5:o
Thanks for your help.

If you are looking to spend about $1 a disc and still get top quality media, look into getting some Ritek.
