yeah, and make sure you're using the verbatim, memorex sucks for ps2 backups.

i agree, it is most likely the discs.
Listing the games you are trying to back up would also help in case they are games that need to be rebuilt or patched to work with Swap Magic

yes, Memosux uses cheap dye and most PS2's have a real problem with them. They are also not good for your laser life.
Verbatim are the choice of a lot of people and should be fine.
Not sure which type, i think i remember people talking about the
Datalife type. DVD-R 8X speed
Smackdown VS Raw is not a game that needs rebuilding, the other i do not have.
