Can anyone recommend a make of blank DVD to back up PS2 games that is cheap and works well. Because the discs I use at the moment are Datawrite red general purpose, and they dont work.

I would run dvd identifier ( http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com )
And see what those Datawrite are.
If they are CMC maufactured that could be the problem.
(They may be fine for movies, But ps2 games read more frequently and
more randomly on the media.)
And therfore require a higher grade media.

ITS THE 'MEDIA ID' thats important.

http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

The following list is in preference order.
Almost flawless burns with 95-100% reliable results:

MXLRG01, MXLRG02 = Maxell = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
MCC = Mitsubishi Chemicals = (-R)<-----------------VERBATIM MY CHOICE #1
TDKG02 = TDK Corp = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
TAIYOYUDEN or YUDEN = Taiyo Yuden = (-R)<--------------FUJIFILM (made in japan) MY CHOICE #2

I've been very satisfied for Ritek G04, and actually it's only brand which works perfectly on my console.
