New at DVD burning, please help! :(

[dirtybird]

Ok, I have burnt backups of games before, but I'm new to the DVD world.

Basically I bought a Sony DVD DRU-500ax a few days ago and I'm currently trying to make backups of two of my games to test it.

One is Grand Theft Auto and the other is Midnight Run. I am using Recordnow software that came with my burner (actually I also tried the Recordnow max demo that one of the Administrator's posted).

The first game, Midnight Run, stops in the middle of reading it, giving me a PX Engine error (Command: BE Sense: 03 ASC:11 ASCQ:05) Reading from the disc.

The other game, GTA, seemed to read fine, but when I go to burn it, it also stops and gives me a PX Engine error (a little different though).

I have followed the instructions EXACTLY like they were posted on the backup procedures sticky thread. I am using Ritek media, and was burning and reading at the minimum speed.

So basically to me, I feel like I have done EVERYTHING right. This is frustrating. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
