1.make sure your burner has the latest firmware

2. get better media then what you are using.

DVD Media Guide

One of the biggest issues for all of you people making backups is what kind of media to use. Hopefully this will help you all out! Before you check out this DVD media guide, it is important to know that the dye of the DVD is what you should be interested in, and not just the brand name. So, if you buy high class media, such as Ritek, it does not necessarily mean that you are going to be getting the best dye that Ritek makes. You need to make sure that you are getting the highest quality dye with the media you purchase. So be sure to DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING!

Top Quality Media (longest dye life, 10+ years... Classified as AA Grade Media, Highest Quality!)

Taiyo Yudon (with YUDENT, TYG0x dye, many fakes made, make sure you are getting the real thing!)
Ritek (G03/G04 dye, many fakes made, make sure you are getting the real thing!)
Verbatim (with MCC02, MCC, MKM (DL) dye)
Fuji MIJ
Maxell (Japan) (with MXLRG0x dye)
Sony (Japan/Taiwan) (with SONY0xD dye)
TDK (with TDK, TTG0x, TTH0x dye)


Medium Quality Media (medium dye life.)

Ritek (G05/M02/R02/R03)
Samsung (mostly uses TYG01 dye)
Clone disc (made by Ritek)
Traxdata (made by Ritek)
Arita (made by Ritek w/ G05 code)
Memorex (mostly uses CMC Magnetics)
Imation (mostly uses CMC Magnetics)
Maxell (mostly uses CMC Magnetics)
Prodisc (by pioneer)
Philips (mostly uses CMC Magnetics)
Panasonic
Infodisc

Low Quality Media (minimal dye life! This media should be avoided at all costs. I am not saying the brand names below will not work, but the chances of them working and lifespan of the discs is simply terrible! The discs below use the lowest quality dye possible.) (Note: The average dye lifespan for these discs is around 1-2 years.)

Optodisc
AZO
Platinum
Linkyo
Economy
BudgetAZO
Beall
Ultran
HP
SuperMedia
Dynex
Aleratec
Princo (TDK Ripoffs)
Mitsui
Bulkpaq (Fake Ty's)

Trusted Sites to buy your media from: (will be updated with more sites soon)

Ah! Good old Bulkpaq OPTODISC media! Good for burning movies, but certainly not for PS2 games - pretty hit & miss.

I'd move those RITEK G03/G04 out of the top class media by the way steimy, they no longer produce that dye. And G05 should be up in 1st class media.

Here's a good test for quality media;
Hold a disc up to a light. If you can see the light through the disc, then its crap.

So that'd make Taiyo Yuden drop down the quality scale then! lol



Always 1st with 100% working PS2 Online Game DNA$ IDs!!

sorry, old list
But i think he gets the point.
It is a good guide although not 100% accurate

Philips are not listed highly and i used those for 2 years and they worked every time and still do.

Now i only use Taiyo Yuden
