will it ever end?

So, im back. Still with problems with the modchip. This one is a little more fine tuning. I'm hoping someone has some suggestions.

The chip has been working fine for the past couple of weeks. Occasionally giving me bootup problems, but nothing that isn't fixed if i am persistent. These are backup games that are recorded to what we will call DVD-R Media X (i dont know the name, so that will be it). Now, I recently ordered and received some nice Ritek G04 DVD-R blank dvds. Upon backing up games, Most of my games refuse to boot until i play hell with them, eventually getting them to boot while some others won't boot no matter how hard i try. Also, as some Ps2 games arent large enough for a DVD, I burn them to your standard 700mb Maxell CD-Rs. EVERY game I burn to these discs works perfectly each time.

So what is wrong? The chip can boot the CD-rs all the time every time, but when it gets a dvd, it doesnt work half the time.

Info: modchip is a dms3 with the newest flash upgrade. PS2 is a Version 9. Games are backed up using Alcohol 120% via instructions from Playstation Place (psplace.tk)
