This is my experience, there are too many variables that could affect the outcome.

My PS2 is the v12 version (aka PSTwO). I used Alcohol 120% to burn my backups and have an LG burner that writes at either 4x/8x speeds. I use Ritek -R DVD's which arent the best but nor are they the worst.

I originally burnt my copies at 4x (the minimum I could go) and the load times for the titles I copied were horrible. Laggy at times and some screens just took ages to load. I then tried burning them at 8x (all the same options) and viola, they load like a charm.

Majority of people would recommend 1x (or lowest speed possible) and I think thats a safe bet, but in my case it seems the opposite. Low speeds seem to give my PS2 a hard time in loading them up and continously loading afterwards. I've only tried this on 3 titles, I'll do more and try to get some more results. I would like to also extend this to getting other media types and even trying other burning programs.

I just hope that using 8x doesnt have negative effects on the PS2 laser eventually ... we'll see.

try burning them at 4X instead, it may help
also burn them on good media which also helps
also you can try rebuilding the ISO before you burn it.
And update your firmware if the burner has an updated
version available.

Any of these can sometimes help when you are having
problems with bad burns.

After making more backups and burning copies at 4x and 8x speeds, definitely for my setup (I assume its the DVD burner) the 8x speed is better in terms of reading/loading times as I discussed previously. Using 4x burnt DVD's on the PSTwo really seem to put a strain on it in terms of all the clicking and loading. Using 8x doesnt have this problem and it loads like a charm.

Burning at 8x is fine with newer burners but I would suggest sticking to 4x if you have an older burner. Blank DVDs are pretty cheap these days so I guess people can experiment and see what burn speeds work best for them.
