I'd like to see which media people prefer for DVD backup PS2 disks. Since there is no poll function on this forum software :( just reply with your choice.

Options:

AVB
Fuji
Hewlett-Packard
Imation
Legacy
Maxell
Memorex
Phillips
Primera
Ritek
Samsung
SMARTBUY
Sony
Taiyo Yuden <Gets my vote
TDK
Verbatim

If there are any I've missed, feel free to add.

Before I started using HDLoader, I backed up all of my games on Sony.
Only because My homie works at Staples and I was getting them free!

The 8x TY were ok but 16x are not as fast loading on my ps2 , or rest of mates / familys so I tried some Verbatim mcc004 and these are better than the TY 16x on my PS2 .
So at the moment I am steering clear of the 16x Yudens , after trying them at all speeds with no improvement at loading on any machines , was really well p*ssed off because of inflated price from PC Fair and couldnt find any 8x there.
Now even more P*ssed off now that I have 15 coasters out of 25 .
Recommend Verb MCC004 16x though , running real nice.

Ooh. I just bought a stack of 50 16x Yudens to try out. They'd better work as well as the 8x's!

Verbatim 16X DVD+R are what I use now. I used to use Memorex 4X 8X and 16X DVD+Rs.
