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.
