DVD-R Media for PS2 Backups?

[barry7377]

Need some advice on DVD-R media for PS2 backups. Has anyone used the Apple brand DVD-R's successfully for their backups? What media does everyone recommend??

if price is your thing try ACCU from meritline.com, its cheap and it works. I also used BeAll but thats a little more expensive.

"PS2s are picky about the type of media that they will read verbatim, apple, and ritek are the best for the ps2 no modchip is required."

I've even seen Princo work, but some PS2 units are more touchy than others. If it will play a movie, it should play a game too, from a media stance.

I stick to 2X TDK DVD-R's for both PS2 game backups as well as my movie backups...first time $50 for 25 discs, but a month and a half later Target was selling 20 discs for $25 so I picked up two packs of them. The price is a bit high unless you get them on sale but I didn't want to play around with cheap media...

As for movies...Ive used an un-branded DVD-RW and these TDK DVD-R's and both worked great on my PS2, no playback problems at all. I think the early PS2's are picky about +/- Media, but V5 and on both work well.
