I've recently installed fmcb 1.8, uLE, ESR, and all that successfully I think. Original PS2 DVDs work fine, so the laser doesn't seem to be the problem. My model is a SCPH-77001.

However, every time I go into ESR with one of the DVD-Rs inside, it says "Unknown media in drive...". I've made sure to patch the .iso's before hand. The PS2 browser also says "The disc could not be read." Launching anyways through ESR simply gives me a black screen, no colors or anything.

I've tried TDK DVD-Rs and Sony DVD-Rs, both Alcohol 120% and IMGBurn, and 4x and 8x speeds.

I'd like to know, is this a problem with fmcb or ESR itself, or am I just not producing quality burns?

Just the ESR Disc Patcher GUI 0.24a, nothing else.

wrong media. The fat ps2's prefer DVD-r's, but slim ps2's seem to only read dvd+r's. At least, that's what I've seen.
