I found afterdawn and I gotta admit the wealth of information here is great. One of the first things I noticed is how much memorex dvd+-r's obviously suck. I just buy them cuz they are cheap, and I usually don't have TOO much of a problem with them.

Except for where making backup's of my PS2 games are concerned. I don't have a problem with older PS2 games, but the newer ones are giving me all kinds of heck, and I have a matrix infinity mod. Almost thought it was the mod chip until I saw on here that it's listed as 1 of the best 2. Matrix is also updated to the latest firmware, btw

I did find some Taiyo Yuden media that I am fixing to order, so here is a question. I have a couple backups that I don't have the originals for anymore (kids broke em). Can I just rip the ISO from the backup and reburn to the Taiyo? I mean, the data itself shouldn't be damaged, right? Just that the memorex are crappy disks where performance is concerned.

I will probably still use memorex for my movies/anime cuz I hate having to order stuff, but I found a good deal on some Taiyo 50-packs, so that will last me quite a while. I'll use the Taiyo's for my PS2 backups, and memorex for basic data.

So will I have any problems with re-ripping the ISO from a memorex backup? That's the only question I couldn't seem to find here. Also, I use Alcohol for ripping and burning. I see you guys recommending a couple other programs too...but I don't see any major differences between them. Do I NEED to use anything besides alcohol? Would that help produce a better burn? All answers appreciated! Great to be here!

Yeah, you should be fine. I was able to re-rip from some crap ass princo discs. The game wouldn't even work on the princo's, but my reburn on TY worked perfect. Also, don't be surprised if your movies on memorex stop working a few months down the road.
