Hello.

I currently have two problems backing up my games.
I had 25 Liquid Video 2x DVD-Rs, and just ran out. I backed up 25 games perfectly, with not one bad burn.
I now am using FujiFilm 8x DVD+R and TDK 8x DVD-Rs.

The problem I am having now is that the Media will NOT be burnt at 2x. No matter what program I use to burn the Image files (DVD Decrypter, Alcohol 120, Nero) the programs ALL burn the images at 4x when I try to burn them at 2x (even 1x).

My burner is a Lite-On 16x DVD -/+ R/RW Dual-Layer burner.



My second problem is with some other media. I have 25 SONY 8x DVD-R, but NO PROGRAM will let me burn ANYTHING with them. I try Nero and DVD Decrypter, and i get a message that says "Incompatable Media" or something like that. I cant even burn Data on them, with ANY program.


Any help with either of these problems?

your best bet is to find what media works best for your system and keep a heavty stock of blank disc so you dont run out and have to resort back to poopy media. if i were you i would just go back to the original disc that were working fine like you said. and i would recomend never to use +r disc, just in my experience, noones playstation that i've been around could play +r disc, only one game on one ps2 worked, nba live 2005, but it still ran very slow, when put on a -r disc it played fine.

an up to date firmware will solve 99% of burner/media compatibility issues.

for what it's worth, 8x media is limited to not burn below 4x, this prevents die burn through. if your burner isn't capable of burning at 4x or higher don't buy 8x media.
