I recently backed up two games, Narutimate Hero 3 and Kingdom Hearts Final Mix with Maxell DVD+Rs (my computer can't read DVD-Rs.) using Nero Burning ROM on 2.4x. (The lowest setting)Kingdom Hearts plays ok, skipping at times, but still playable. Narutimate Hero works like a charm except in some fighting sequences. (special moves)

I don't know if It's my media, or me using the wrong program. (DVD Decryptor?) If it's my media, I'm willing to buy a higher quality one, so I need to know what's the best out there.

The program does matter, but DVD decryptor is a good program to burn ps2 games with. I personally wouldn't use Sonys, because they outsource their work and you never know who actually made the disks. Stick with verbatims or try using Taiyo Yudens. Its somewhat ok to use maxwells until you get better media. The worse the media the harder it is for your laser to read the media. The lasers do wear out and it will wear out faster if you use bad media, although Maxwells aren't horrible. Another thing you can try to do with your Maxwells is setting the booktype to DVD-ROM, this might help your PS2 read them.

Thanks everyone. I'll try burning the Maxells I have right now at a faster speed, until I get some better media. One question though, if I make an MDS file out of the ISO will it work better? As of now, I can't figure out how to booktype with DVD Decryptor. It keeps giving me an "unknown (FAILED!)" error. I know I'm picking the write drive. Anyone help?

Here's a picture so you know what I'm talking about:
