After solidly reading through an hour of posts on the forum, iam now more confuded than ever before. I have the time powerstation with the above drive and never thought making a backup could be so difficult! Its obvious that different things are working for different people which is why im needing a little help.
I have Pinnacles InstantCD/DVD and Record Now Max 4.0. have installed DVD Decrypter also. Is it wise to uninstall Pinnacle? A few posts have led me to believe that there are software conflicts?
Finally, i would have never thought it mattered what type of DVD-R disc you used so long as it was minus? Wrong (again) If theres anyone in the same position as me who has sucessfully made a backup of a DVD - please let me know.

have same burner, am using dvdxcopy xpress had a couple of headaces at first.software conflicts,but working fine now.have tryed instant copy,only burn half the time. I use DVD Decrypter for my ps2 dvd games and works everytime.for blank dvd-r i use verbatims ,are looking at shintaro tomorrow as cheaper, see how they go ?
Just downloaded a full working version of dvdxcopy 1.3. Not use dit yet but im sure it'l be ok. DVD Decrypter seems like an excellent lil' prog. Will have to get some of those Verbatims. I noticed as I was writing a PS2 game to the hard drive that the rite speed went up to 5 and a bit. What speed of Verbatims should I use. Any particuler colour like the data-safes?

dvdxcopy would be different to dvdxcopy xpress see how it goes. verbatims ars 2x speed & shintaro are 1x speed and are working well.my speed on DVD Decrypter goes up & down all the time have fun. let me know how you go
Much to my dissapointment, decrypting with DVD Decrypter did not work. I now have Ulead MOvie Factory which im told is excellent. The burn went smoothly, i dont understand. The disc was written to , but only a few sectors. Any ideas ? The Verbatims are the best CD's so im told - also most expensive lol ! Also - is it possible that a DVD-RW could play in the ps2 - or only in the PC is was written to ?
HI Space6982,
don't know shit about ulead.are you reading dvd decrpypter with iso mode ??. not sure about dvd-rw working in ps2. cd-rs don't work real good.I have no need to decrypt with xpress and games are only two clicks and its done.
I have the time powerstation s3809 using this with
DVD shrink (available from afterdawn and free!) to decrpyt and compress and nero6 to burn, i am getting perfect dvd backups
also i'm using orange bulkpaks only 74p each
