Despite using a PS2, I am talking about PS1 games.

I have a Lite-ON DVDRW SOHW-1673S with the JS07 firmware.

Im using Taiyo Yuden brand CD-Rs.

But the quality im getting is terrible! When I ude Nero's CD-DVD speed test tools, I see no C2 errors on it, but the scandisk shows some speckles of damaged areas here and there, but nothing unreadable. When I tried playing these backups in my ps2, I got some mixed results. Some games (usually simpler ones) seem to work ok, but for others the FMVs and Music skips/glitches during playback.

Anyone know what could be the problem? Im pretty sure the blank media is authentic, I dont know if it could be my drive being bad quality, or possibly im burning too fast (8x, id prefer 1x or 2x, but it wont let me burn slower than 8x).

Anyone know what might be the problem or what I can do?

I know Taiyo Yuden dvd-r are great but i know nothing about the cd-r's. What you are describing sounds like poor media.

Verbatim are the best to use for PSX cd backup
