Backing up PS2 discs

[wayno12]

Does anyone have any suggestions on backing up PS2 discs? The very first one I backed up worked perfect, since then, the last 7 have made really cool coasters. I have a I/O Magic Dual layer burner[iDVD16DL] and have set my write speed as 1x. Everything shows that it writes sucessfully. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Wayne

 

Also, I am using Sony DVD+R discs which show a manufacturer as Yuden. Book type is DVD-ROM

Can you post a log from ImgBurn? If everything is what you say it is, then it's probably media/machine compatibility issue.

Thanks, can we have one of the actual burn?

And then the profile of the media from the right hand payne. (when completed)

 

Edit: BTW, have you changed anything since your first burn?

[wayno12]

OK, almost done with the burn, then I'll send it

Is this from the same disc? Something doesn't look right.

[wayno12]

Yes, After the burn, I didn't even eject the disc. I just highlighted the right column, copied it, then pasted it here.

[wayno12]

OK, I rebooted my computer, put in a new disc, and wrote another one just to make sure you are getting what you wanted.

Book type is different on the second, showing as a DVD+R. Thats strance because under "My Computer" folder, "D" Drive shows up as a DVD-ROM

[polopony]

1.) is the PS2 either chipped or has a boot disc ?

 

2.) will the PS2 play any other discs ?

[Kenadjian]

I think you've got a bitsetting problem, what are you using to set your booktype?

[ssjkakaroto]

as polopony said you should have a modded ps2 to play backups, also you should burn at 8x, the rule that burning at slower speeds gives you better quality doesn't necessarily apply to dvds, in fact burning discs at lower speeds than the recommended one usually gives worse results.

[ssjkakaroto]

it would also help if you scanned the disc using cddvdspeed or dvdinfo pro

It must be, hes first one played ok.

 

The very first one I backed up worked perfect,

[wayno12]

Hello everyone. Sorry I couldn't reply promptly, I was out of town. I did try one thing as a last resort type of thing and downloaded the trial program called Alcohol 120%. I backed up 3 games with it and everyone worked fine.

 

I don't know what the difference is, and like I said earlier, the very first disc I backed up using imgburn, played perfectly on my PS2, but then failure after failure from then on.

 

My PS 2 is "soft modded using Swap Magic 3.6 that I just purchased. It seems to work flawlessly combined with my backups.

[Rippraff]

The first disc you've burned with ImgBurn was this also a DVD+R?

 

There are reports that the very first series of both PS and PS2 didn't except DVD+R even not with bitsetting.

To be on the safe side I'ld recommend to use DVD-R media instead.

This sounds about right. My PS2 (vers 1) won't touch +R. It's also picky about the -R media it uses. Taiyo Yuden work fine. Most other media won't work. Go figure.
