the PS2 can be very fussy on what dvd-r media it reads.

my advice would be if you want perfect backups 1st time go for the bigger boys such as TDK/Verbatim etc. If you are prepared to test out cheaper brand media then cerry on until you find the right disc for you (you might get lucky )

Thanks To All That Replied .i have decided to order the verbatim disc and thanks for the modchip info im looking at a magic chip but its got 22 wires to solder i think looks like a challenge but it would be well worth it in the end if it works just hope i dont make a mistake and bridge over a few solder joints but again thanks to all that helps out .
