Well here's my 2cents worth of advice, appearently backing up games that have a total disc size of more then 4GB is pretty bad using NERO, sometimes it'll give errors when it's closing the disc (During recording), but you'll still be able to see the file contents using your dvd writer (PC). Although sometimes It burns without giving any error message, it simply won't boot on the ps2 (it might just show the playstation 2 logo and the screen will be black)

How I get around this is simple using DVD-Decryptor to make an ISO of the original disc, and then use alcohol to burn it. I can't seem to understand why it will work this way, but heck it works fine for me all the time. You could always try other burning s/w and I'm not saying the ONLY DVD-Decryptor/Alcohol works great. I'm pretty sure other s/w will work fine too.

ps. I've got a friend telling me that using a DVD+R disc instead will also solve this problem. I've not really tested this yet.
