reading forums on dual layer dvd burners......after burning a dual layer disc it is hard to get another dvd drive to read the disc, let alone knows the cheap sh1t*y laser that sony use in PS2. Iwould suspect that u could probably recal the laser to read it, but after a few weeks of reading it the laser would die a nasty death, just as if all yr backups were on Bulkpaq dvd-r(EUGH!!!).

Having said that, a lot of firmware updates r coming out for dvd drives so that they will read dual layer burnt discs but that still won't help ps2 users.

My strangly wise advice......I wouldn't do it!!!!!!!(Or not more than once just to prove that it won't read)

If its tougher to read than a single layer Ritek G4 dvd-r then it will slowly kill yr laser an that just ain't worth it!!

And i especially wouldn't do it on a version 9 or 10. Best test bench....v5 or v7.

Hopefully the next generation of dual layer dvd-r/+r will be more reliable....Besides the price they charge for blank dual layer dvd u might as well get on e-bay and buy a second copy to use.
