I tried backing up my PS2 DVD with no success. I followed the DVD Decrypter instructions and used a SWAP Disk ver. 3.6. After the sawp I get a message that says "Please insert a PLAYSTATION or PLAYSTATION 2 format disc" with a reddish galaxy backgroung. I'm ussing HP DVD-R discs. I tried it twice with the .mds and .iso. Please help.

maybe this will help,

No it wont work using your methods because God of War is Dual Layer.You either need a Dual Layer Recorder or Shrink it so it can fit in a DVD-R.There is a thread specifically for this in the PS2 DVD backup forum.The thread name is The Official God of War thread or something like that.Go and take a look there.
