Playboy Mansion & Spyro 5 Backups - Help!

[Warlock]

Yeah i think the verbatim Dvd-r suck also.

I agree DataLife suck, but IMHO I have to disagree about the DataLife PLUS sucking.

[Warlock]

I like the Data life PLUS cd-r's but get mixed results with the dvd-r. Smaller games work ok but the larger ones skip, jump and sometimes freeze.

Yep. Datalife plus cd-r are the source. My PS2 has no other cdr in it but I can only assume that the dvd-r must come in several different dyes. I had a chat with bighap about this once and he assured me that the verbatim that he was using had ritek dye???

Anyway, Ritek 8X seem to be a bit jumpy for me so found a site still selling 4X and bought 200 of em and these work perfect every time.

[lufcfan]

Hmm Maybe.
Those I have use an MCC dye and I've used 3 - all over 4.4GB and all have been perfect - infact, I'd say the best results of all my backups

I'm with LUFC here,

All my verbatim dvd'rs MCC are the best burns i've got. GTASA has been thrown about by the housemates and STILL neither of my machines have any problem.

I'm starting to wonder if UK MCC's differ slightly.

[lufcfan]

Quite Possibly.
ADVDInfo shows the dye in my discs to be: MCC 02RG20

Nah, Ottomans in the UK and has about the same results as me. I think its just because each console is different. Some consoles boot certain media better than others.
