Did you use Nero??? I tried using Recordnow Max and it didn't recognize the discs. Also....$10 a disc? A lot better than the $13 a disc I paid for my 3-pack. Still Hecka expensive though. I will also wait until this media comes WAY down in price. I just had to see if it worked . It's funny Verbatim was the only brand selling the DL discs when I got my 3-pack from Meritline. Maybe they will start competing and the prices will go down.

Well I did use Dvd Decryptor to make an ISO for it...and burn it using nero. The reason I did it this way is that Nero always have problems making ISO while disc size close to or bigger then 4.2gb...the burned image will always fail to be recognised by the PS2.

BTW i paid $14.95 for the disc at JB HiFi in Australia. Heck...quite an expensive experiment to see if the PS2 recognized DL Disc. Oh I forgot to add that I did changed the booktype of the disc to DVD-ROM.

The real worry i have with these discs is how good the reflectivity is (i.e how hard is yr laser working to read them) If u can fraz yr laser with a less than good make dvd-r then it must be harder work for the laser to read dual layer.
