Ok so i'm tryin to make my first copy today, and when i am in the write mode of the decryptor, it says "device not ready (meduim not presented)" even though i have a dvd-r in it. please help
Imation???? omg, lol. i hope you didnt buy a large spindle. Imation and memorex are the 2 worst out there (opinion only).
keep an eye out for whats on sale, you can usually find some verbatim or tdk or sony, maxell on sale always. keep an eye out. if you are using single layered disks, then you will need DVD Shrink to compress the over 5 gig movie so it will fit onto the single layer.
there are many guides to help you back up your movie on here

Are you using a Modchip or swapmagic disks?
Your ps2 wont play copied games without one of these.
Use Quality Media I use
Verbatim dvd+r
***** BURN AT NO MORE THAN 4X****** <-----------(IMPORTANT)
TURN OFF ANY BACKGROUND APPLICATIONS
1. Take the ps2 game put it in the dvd rom or dvd burner, your choice.
2. open the dvd decryptor program then go to to tool bar and hit MODE>ISO>READ. Then choose the correct dvd drive that the game is in as the "source". Also choose where you want the files to be stored on the pc hdd. THEN CLICK DECRYPT , or the huge graphical picture at the bottom of the program which makes it run. The game is now copying to your HDD. Take the game out when finished (it might take a while).
3. Go to the same tab in dvd decryptor and choose MODE>ISO>WRITE. This will then let you look for the files you just created in step 2. Select the file that you just created. (There is only 2 files creadted so pick the .mds) (The smaller file)Then click WRITE, make sure there is blank DVD in the drive.
The following list is in preference order. The best discs are near the top of the list. The discs at
the bottom of the list are suitable only for a landfill.
Almost flawless burns with 95-100% reliable results:
PVC = Pioneer = (-R)(-RW)
MXLRG01, MXLRG02 = Maxell = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
MCC = Mitsubishi Chemicals = (-R)<-----------------VERBATIM MY CHOICE #1
TDKG02 = TDK Corp = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
TAIYOYUDEN or YUDEN = Taiyo Yuden = (-R)<--------------FUJIFILM (made in japan) MY CHOICE #2
ok well i dont think u guys are gettin what im trying to say...
i did the reading part...then i went to the write part, selected the right file, and inserted a sony dvd-r into my burner (on the front of the burner it says dvd+rw if that makes a diff)
now at the bottem it says device not ready (medium not present)
