Out of intrest what media are you using?
I have found that when doing DVD-R's
For most games I can use cheap unbranded media and it works no problem. Other games won't copy on these at all and freeze lots or just don't boot at all. For these I use a branded DVD-R and that solves a lot of problems.
Verbatim work best for me on both CDR and DVDR Recording at a low speed.
