Ahhh, ok. Well thank you so much for your help, I am very grateful, I went out and bought some new cd-r's. Thanks again.

One more question. I can't seem to burn at a lower speed than 24x, here's the log. I 14:57:03 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

I wanted to burn at 1x because I was told that the slower you burn these playstation games, the better they work. I assumed that I had to burn at 1x.

Is it just the cd-r's that won't let me burn at 1x, or do I need a super old cd drive to burn at that speed? If it's just the cd, what brand would you suggest?

I'll try all that, thank you very much all. I am supprised that I got so many responses so fast

Ok, my problem is these blasted Playstation games, I'll use the Final Fantasy 7 that I downloaded as an example. I burn FF7, several errors come up in the log, I stick it in my PS 1, the opening sequence is laggy, and the sound breaks up a lot, it is the same thing with the rest of the games. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. P.S: even if I don't encounter any errors during the burning process, the game's sound still breaks up and it's still laggy.
