I have every software and still cant backup a ps2 game

I need serious help, I have Nero 6 Ultra and I also have Alcohol 120%, plus DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink and none of these programs were able to burn a copy good enough to play on my ps2. Im using the flip top cover along with swap magic disc.

after inserting the backup game I keep getting red borders on the top of my screen.im using blank DVD-R discs but am not sure what speed to burn at, also which software is best to use?....

I hear DVD decrypter is good to "make" images but my version doesnt "burn" the images. also my nero 6 image drive is not compatible with XP for some reason I dont know.

I just recently backed up Driver 3 and also burned it using Alcohol 120% at 2X speed and that failed, still got the red borders...........can somebody help me and explain this to me step by step !

I'll appreciate it, Thanks !

everything and still cant get it right.
