This should have been asked in the PS2 forum.

And you do not have to use DVD-R media you can use DVD+R media which I do use for my PS2. It really depends on what the particular PS2 drive likes. So just because your PS2 can read the backups dosent mean your friends will.

But I will agree with what knoxl says about the media. Make sure it is Good media

-R is know to work better with older PS2's
Especially if it is a V4 in which case i do not think it will read +R at all.

I have had 3 PS2's of different versions V5/6, V7, & V12
all of them worked better with the -R media
