Some PS2 burning clarifications/help please

[Solar87]

Ok, here's what I plan to do.

1) Pitch in with a few friends and buy this DVD burner (####://www.esbuy.com/tosdvdram47a.html).

2) Get some DVD-RAM discs (which? 2.6g? 4.7? double sided or not?)

3) Get a mod-chip(this one (####://www.modchipstore.com/ps2/ps2modchip.html) ) and install them. (How easy is this installation? My dad is a hellova soldierer and my friend's dad is a surgeon, so we'll pick feasibility/usablity over installation =)

4) Rent games, read in DVD-ROM, burn onto discs with DVD-RAM and place into modded ps2.

Is this ok? Is my hardware alright? Is it really that simple?
Can I use any standard program to simply put the disc into my DVD-ROM and press copy onto my DVD-RAM?

Please give a n00b a little help =)

Thanks much!!

ANSWER: Might work. All reports so far are with Pioneer DVR-AO3. The thing to check is that PrimoDVD software will run on the DVD-RAM device. This is the proven DVD-R backup program. Note that the DVD-RAM may not treat CDs in a CloneCD compatible way as regards sub-channel data (haven't time to explain that right now)..

2) Get some DVD-RAM discs (which? 2.6g? 4.7? double sided or not?)
ANSWER: You need DVD-Rs not DVD-RAM.

3) Get a mod-chip(this one (####://www.modchipstore.com/ps2/ps2modchip.html) ) and install them. (How easy is this installation? My dad is a hellova soldierer and my friend's dad is a surgeon, so we'll pick feasibility/usablity over installation =)
ANSWER: The web site says nothing about playing DVD-Rs for this chip. It probably wont. NEO2.2, NEO4 if you can live with 44 wires will play DVD-Rs. I think so will the NEOKEY (SBOX).

4) Rent games, read in DVD-ROM, burn onto discs with DVD-RAM and place into modded ps2.
Or buy games, read in DVD-ROM, burn onto DVD-R and boot with a method appropriate to your modchip.
