Backing up CD games to DVD

[spratster]

he did say his ps2 has problems reading cdr based backups !! but could it not be a laser fault ( straws & clutching )

Indeed, it could!

My PS2 is rather new, version 9, so I don't think the laser is on the way out but for some reason it has a lot of problems reading games backed up on CD yet has no probs at all reading backed up DVD games. (it does still barely manage to load CD games but you can hear the console struggle big time!! ... you sit there for a good minute or so while the console grinds away trying to read the CD... happens with ALL CD backups no exceptions!)

I have been researching on the net and I'm pretty convinced now that there is no way of backing an original CD game onto a DVD.

I have also heard that playing CD games on a PS2 is very straining on the laser... I'm not sure how true that is but it sure is another good reason for me to try and back up on DVD rather than CD if someday I find a way!
