what is the difference between dvd-r and dvd-rw.dvd-rw is just we can write.I think dvd-r and dvd-rw are same because both have -r.If not please tell me how can i run dvd-rw.
It is much cheaper as I said to buy DVD-R, then to try and get DVD-RW to work on your PS2.
Your PS2 may be one of the versions that these discs will not work, and as I said, it puts a heavy strain on your laser.
If your hell-bent on using them, then try a different burn speed.
Burn at 4x
DVD-RW and DVD+RW do not use dyes, these use a malleable "phase change material" that can be altered. It's not meant for permanent storage, not at all.
To simplify smokyrain's answer about the differences between -R and -RW, RW means "rewritable," meaning you can erase the data on it and write over it again.
This makes it perfect for short-term storage, but like smokyrain also said, it puts a lot of strain on the laser (and not just the PS2's, but any laser in general), which is why it might not work on your PS2.
DVD-R and DVD+R are both write-once only, so you can't erase the data that's been put on them. But if you're burning PS2 ISOs, then all you need to do is burn once, anyway.
