could be that the dye used on that media is cheap,
and your laser is just having a hard time reading it.

That or possibly that the firmware on your burner is out of date
causing it to make bad copies.

I would try better media first, if that will not work a firmware update may be needed.

there is a media guide that may help you choose another brand.

Maybe the Fliptop isn't installed correctly and your PS2 knows when the lid is open? So it knows the Backup is a backup rather than being tricked into thinking it's an Original disc

I see 2 possibilities. One is that you need to buy better DVD-R, Two is that your probably not swapping it correctly.

I had trouble with both before
