ok, im wanting to make backups for my ps2, do i use + or - media?
I have looked through the announcements, and although there is lots of useful medias and sites etc etc etc there is nothing saying what the difference between + or - is, or which is compatible with certain consoles etc?

ok thanks for your help, hopefully i will get to order my burner today, do you think this would be ok? I have a laptop you see, so obviously it would be more difficult to get an internal burner

thats seems good enough, it's cheap too, (most externals cost £80 upwards.)

If you want to go with DVD-R route, then just get any high quality media like Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim, then you'll be square away.
If you want to go with DVD+R route, then get Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim "advanced azo or datalife plus" and Hitachi Maxell (made in japan). In addition, make sure you "book type" or change the "bitsetting" into DVD-ROM format and that should take care of everything. Furthermore, make sure you your burner has the latest firmware; firmware increase the burning performances and media compatibility.
**NOTE: make sure your burner is capable of "book typing" or "bitsetting".

V.4 PS2's and later should read DVD+R's booktyped to DVD-ROM fine. If you're uncertain, go with DVD-R's, there's fewer compatibility issues. If you do go with DVD+R's, make sure your burner supports booktyping/bitsetting as Alkohol suggested.

Yes. The question is does your burner support booktyping/bitsetting?
If so, check here:
53. Q. What is Booktyping?
A. Booktyping is the ability to burn a DVD+R so it that appears as a pressed DVD-ROM in any DVD-ROM drive it's inserted in. If you booktype DVD+R's, this allows for greater compatibility with most stand alone DVD players, including your PS2. Your burner has to support booktyping (most newer ones do).

Hi guys,
I'm new here. anyway, I had some leftover maxell DVD+Rs, so I just used those went I first started backing up my games. I haven't had any problems yet and I have a fatty PS2. All my games work perfect. I used Nero and burned at 4x. Most likely, I'll buy some DVD-Rs when I need to resupply though.
