i burnt a copy of tekken five at the recommended speed of 2x
upon trying to load the game it was hanging big time and during gameplay the controller would seize up and intermittently not work
i thought i would try burning the disc again however this time i burned it at 8x, i figured i had one half coaster whats the harm in another one right?...........
strangely the game booted lightning speed and the gameplay (thus far) has been perfect
my question to the ppl with knowledge on this topic would be, is there any explanation as to why this 8x burned copy plays well and the 2x one was practically useless?
was it a fluke?
should the first one have played fine but somehow it got disrupted?(i am on net while i am burning these by the way)
anyone shed some light i'd appreciate it
cheers

fair enough
quite pleased that i can burn games at 8x though
very frustrating after waiting to back a game up you then have to wait ages watching it burn
luckily when it works its worth it

I use to set DVD Decrypter to 1X but it would always burn at between 3.8X and 5X anyway. So i just started doing them all at 4X, they work just fine.

however IMO for me 4x for dvd+r with booktype set to dvd-rom and 2x dvd-r with booktype set at dvd-rom work best.

interesting that ppl need to go through such varied processes to get ultimately the same result, a decent backup
slightly off topic but if any of you are from uk, can you tell me a good place to get dvd r's from?
the place I get them charge 11.00 gbp for the discs but then a whopping 5.00 gbp for delivery

There is no such thing as TRIAL AND ERROR
in this making copy of ps2. You will either get the copy to work or NOT. If it works, but it skips, the movies dont play right, or the sound dont come up correclty, your game simply DOES NOT work. Tekken 5 required a patch so you probably didn't patch it, that's y it didn't work. There are ppl who get their back up to work right at the first place with no patch or anything. And some1 who patch the game and burn it severeal time at the slowest speed but never get it to work. Burning at the slowest speed on quality media always get your game to work. Sometimes that doesn't even apply neither. So the message here is if you burn your game at the slowest speed, on great quality media and it doesn't work, it wont work next time. No need to retry. There is no such thing at burning at 8x increases the chances of loading the game faster. The game will load (not faster or slow, b/c it either load or NOT) if you burn it correctly (either by rebuilding it, deleting dummy n garbage files, or burn it on a quality media at the slowest speed).

don't fight this one, you are 100% wrong!
I have had a disc burned on DVD+R or bad media skip, or have problems.
I took the same disc and reburned it onto better media and the game worked just fine all the way through.
Trial and error means that if you burn it and it does not work, you try again with different discs or speeds.
Hence the phrase trial (burned) and error (didn't work, try again)
You can burn a disc at 2X and have it skip around and take that same disc and reburn it at 4X and have it work flawless, i have done it.

If you burn the game correctly the first time, and it works. Now you're telling me if you do the same procedure, the game won't work? The fact that he burn at 1x and DVD Decrypter stops in the middle because he uses bad media. The coaster on the media probably dried before the laser could have touched it. It is a fact that burning at faster speed will give you more errors because the disc spins too fast and if the laser doesn't get to a certain track before the coaster dries out, DVD Decrypter will give out an error. that's y it is always recommended using GOOD media and burn at slowest speed. And i aint got ownzed by no ppl just because i go to georgia state university and do a research on how the dvd burning procedure works out.

that's trial and error. i don't care if you're studying it in a college. that's trial and error at it's finest.

I hope you are also taking some English Literature courses.
taking classes on how a file is burned to a DVD in no way makes you an expert. What does is having burned 75-100 games and KNOWING what does and does not happen.

just a couple of comments

dvd-r with booktype set at dvd-rom work best.
didnt know you could change the booktype with dvd-r??
thought that was limited to dvd+r
also
Quote:

that could have contributed to the first burn being trashed
also

eh?,
there is such a thing,
with dvd media,there is no gaurantee the individual disk you use is going to work,and is of the highest quality.
just because the first try doesnt load,doesnt mean the second wont
ever heard of the saying
Quote:
if at first you dont succeed,try,try again
thats trial and error
peace out my brothers....:)
