verbatim good media to make ps2 backups?

[Skelaratus]

I found that when using Verbatim dvd-r media versus my Ridata, I have to burn at a very slow speed (say 1X-2.4X) with the Verbatim for the backup to come out right. This especially happens with games that burned all the way to the edge...like Mercenaries for example. But when I used my Ridata I was succesful to burn at a higher speed with such games and got very good results. My cousin is convinced that any media would work as long as you burn it very very slow, so we tested a few brands. Verbatim worked out burning at 1X-2.4X, TDK worked at around 2.4X, Fujifilm was ok aroud 4X and Ridata worked at 8X. And when I say "worked", I mean I was able to make a backup with no blockiness, no audio blips and no skipping, especially during FMV's.

Hey I wonder if Gamecopyworld will write off all of the research I am doing for this site as tax deductible.
