CDR Media
 

I've been using Memorex cdr's for as long as I can remember to burn my games and lately I've been selling games to people I know and a couple of people said they had problems with the Memorex Media on there PS2's and DreamCasts a friend of mine said he copied the games I gave him to PNY Media and then they worked fine does anyone know of a Media that works better then any other or has anyone else had problems with Memorex cdr's

Use verbatim's they may cost a little more but are well worth it.

Your not the first person to tell me verbatim is good for PS2/Dreamcast backup's does anyone else prefer verbatim or any other cdr

I've had most success with SONY and verbatim. I've had bad experiences with maxell.
Different writers work better with different media.

I'm not having any problems with copying the games I was just wondering which media was easier read by PS2 and Dreamcast

Can't comment on DC, but PS2 has a strong laser and will read anything that has been written error free. There are two proncipal issues with media.

1 Durability

Coated media provide protection against scratches. Verbatim and Sony lead the way here.

2 Burnability

Weak burner lasers produce doubtful results on certain media - Black surfaces for example. The temptation to burn fast exposes this weakness even if the manufacturer claims 16x but it is not one of the top brand proven burners.

Hi,

Without a doubt the best media for backups is Verbatim Datalife plus media, with there dark blue layer they are the best.

Cheers
