I burned all my dvd game backups to DVD+ type of media.
Now many friends tell me that i should ve burned them to DVD- type of media, cause the + type makes my ps2 not work in time.
MY ps2 isn t reading my backup disks, i have to shut down the console and start it again in 1 minute for the game to boot up, but it worked perfectley for 1 year!
So was it that DVD+ type of media that destroyed my ps2 in time, or it s something else, and DVD+ is good?
THE dISK s are TDK DVD+

DVD+R's don't wear down your PS2 any quicker than DVD-R's. It's the quality of the media that determines the toll backups take on your laser, not the format. V.4 PS2's and later should read DVD+R's booktyped to DVD-ROM fine. If you're using quality 4x or 8x media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim, your laser should last awhile. It doesn't matter if they're DVD+R or DVD-R.
86. Q. Where can I find good deals on legit Taiyo Yuden's and Verbatim's?
A. http://www.supermediastore.com
Great List of Merchants locally, online, in the U.K., etc:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/dvdguides/buyerguides/buymedia.htm
106. Q. Where I can find top notch Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media locally?
A. This is somewhat of a crap shoot. Big manufacturer's like Fuji, Sony, and Maxell have at one point past or present payed Taiyo Yuden to manufacture media for them. The big companies slap their name on the label even though the discs were manufactured in Japan by Taiyo Yuden. These discs will always be made in Japan. Authentic TY media isn't made anywhere else. Even if it says Made in Japan on the label, there is no gauruntee of getting authentic Taiyo Yuden media. You could still end up with Sony or Fuji media codes. Hence why I said this is a crap shoot. Places like Comp USA, Office Depot, Sam's Club, and Staples will carry Made In Japan branded discs. Again there is no way to know for sure from the package whether these are authentic Taiyo Yuden's. If you don't want to risk getting non TY discs, you can find 50 packs of Verbatim in the afore mentioned chain stores. One other alternative is the Made in Japan High Grade Maxell DVD+R's. They will say Made in Japan on the label and "High Grade" as well. These are excellent media. Remember when using DVD+R's, it's best you have a burner that supports booktyping/bitsetting, and a v.4 PS2 or later. Much thanks goes to kivory666 aka "docTY" for this information. He is indeed the Taiyo Yuden master. The best place to get authentic Taiyo Yuden media is from reputable online vendors like http://www.supermediastore.com http://www.rima.com http://www.meritline.com or http://www.newegg.com
