DVD-R Movies on PS2?

[eakinsme]

i burn all games, movies at 2x speed.. and it works fine.. also.. try high end discs ritek go4 are the best!

Stick with Name Brand Discs..Sony,Verbatim,TDK or Ritek G04 or G05(My Favorite)..Also I use Sonic Record now Deluxe(Excellent Program BTW)..
Since it lacks in your Ps2 likely your PS2 Laser doesn't like the Brand Disc you're using..That's My guess..

Correct

u ever play backup games on that same media? i agree with the guys above. older ps2 laser worst, slim ps2 laser better, computer laser obviously the best. i burn all my stuff the fastest speed (im impatient) and the cheapest media i can get my hands on (im mad cheap). now i dont buy blank dvd from a garage sale or anything, but i dont pay for riteks (had some and found them less reliable than the memorex i used b4 them). rnm and nero work, but for me, i have had no coasters since switching to dvd decryptor. my best advice: watch the movies on the dvd player if you have one. my friend does the same..ps2 sitting on top of the dvd player, he gets the controls out to watch a movie and waste laser life while preserving his $78 dvd player

I agree. No way i would watch dvd's on my PS2. You can buy dvd players cheaper than you can purchase replacement PS2 lasers. Here in the States you can find dvd players for $29.99.

I burn PS2 DVD game backups on the same media with exactly the same software and they work perfectly. My only troubles come with trying to burn movie DVDs. I have heard alot of people having success playing DVD movies on PS2s that have been burned via DVD Decryptor so I might give Decryptor a go.

the laser will work a dam sight harder reading a dvd (film) than a game ,as far as i am aware !
the game will load from disc certain parts to play then load again where as the films need to read constantly ????? their in could be the problems with the discs ! ritek are cheap enough anyway i pay around £7 for 25 .
and i agree that you should play films on a dvd player and not your ps2 lol

My advice on that one or playing Backup DVD-R or DVD+R(Whichever) I use DVD Decrypter as well except one Difference which is instead of making ISO for Single layer DVD's I ripped it like DVD9 format which is ripping in Files and then use DVD Shrink to put it back together in ISO and Burn using RN Deluxe..Strange enough Every DVD player I throw at it, it works like a Champ..

Making Direct ISO doesn't always work just by removing protection or Region Etc..Sometimes you gotta go little further..
