burn the iso onto the hard drive by using dvd decryptor in read mode, then burn it by using write mode

when you say it either fails or doesn't load up, do you mean with your burning programs or on the ps2. you are aware that you need some kind of mod on your ps2 to play copied games, correct? if it's on your computer, it's a good bet that the stuff is burned on crappy media and the dye can't transmit the data to your pc.

Auslander,

so if im trying to copy pre-copied games, the source disk may be a problem because of its crappy dye??

ps2 burning seems technical!

can you tell us what brand the dvds are? check the guides here for ways to extract the media codes from the disc so we know what we're looking at here. if the discs are clean and scratch-free, but you are getting errors trying to copy them, the first thing that comes to mind is deterioation due to poor quality media. after that, it's generally a computer issue, such as a dying drive or software error. but the discs! they are the starting point! so, could you tell us? :-)

What type of media are you using? If you're not sure, put your discs in your DVD-ROM drive, open DVD Decrypter, and check what it says under Media ID or Manufacturer ID. Compare it to what you see here: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

Are your discs scratched or dirty? I use Alcohol 120% for my troublesome backups. DVD Decrypter is picky at times with scratched discs.

Alcohol 120%: http://www.free-downloads.net/programs/Alcohol_120_

88. Q. How do I burn PS2 DVD games with Alcohol 120%?
A. Ripping the game to your Hard Drive:

1. Insert your disc.
2. Open Alcohol 120%.
3. Click Image Making Wizard.
4. Check Ignore read errors, select your recorder, leave the never seperate box alone.
5. Click Next. Select a destination for the game. Click Start.
Once the process is complete, you'll get an mds and an mdf file. Click finish, if necessary.

Burning the game to DVD:
1. Insert your blank disc.
2. Right click the mdf file.
3. Select Image Burning Wizard.
4. Select your recorder, set the write speed to 4x.
5. Click next.

Note: I use Alcohol 120% as my backup program for ripping scratched originals. DVD Decrypter can be picky with scratched discs. I use DVD Decrypter to burn the mds file. For purposes of this guide, I'm assuming you are you using Alcohol 120% to burn the game to disc. Feel free to use whatever works for you.
