Question Backing up CD games to DVD

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to backup a CD game to a DVD?
My PS2 has problems reading games backed up to CD, even good CDs such as TDK, so I wanted to backup to a DVD instead.
I usually backup my games using Alcohol 120% but when backing up a CD game it only allows it to be backed up to a CD and not to a DVD... is there any other way?

I dont think that this approach has ever been attempted. Now the opposite of what you are trying to do (DVD -> CD) has been done extensively, but I doubt you will find a way to put a CD based game on DVD-R.

Curious???? Why would you even want to use dvd media for a cd based game? That dont make sence to me The cost for the 2 types of media are significantly different. DVD-R's are much more than CD-R's. This is why most would seem as to why anyone would want to spend more than necessary to make a backup.

I wonder if your problem could be more of a laser issue if it is having problems reading cd-r's.
