Sony DRU500Ax

[mach7]

I have the external version (Sony DRX-500UL) and am experiencing the same thing with the same game, using RecorndNow Max to a tee and Ritek 1x's. I also get choppy video on most of the games I've made back-ups of. I've had someone else make back-ups for me with their DVD burner and they work flawlessly.

I guess it's time to try different media with the Sony burner and try adjusting my laser height and see if I can get a better read from the Sony Burn. Anyone else recommend anything not mentioned thus far? (yes, the laser's clean).

The burns I make also cause the PS2 to make clicking noises, is this damaging the PS2 at all?

I have a brand new v7 Messiah 2 chipped, and like I said, when other people make back-up copies for me I experience none of these problems.

EDIT: Is there anyway to know for sure these blank purple/silver discs I bought from some internet company are actually Riteks?
