DVD Arsons, your help pls.

So i'm finally a part of the 'burns dvd coasters' club.

*sigh* oh how i've missed the days of $2.50 coasters.. back when cd-r's were all the rage in storage.

my how times havent changed.

only to make it even more confusing, they've got formats coming out the wazoo.


My big question is, will a modded ps2 (i forgot which chip i have... 5 star or something like that) be able to read my dvd-r's?

i modded my ps2 over a year.. hell almost 2 years ago.... it still works great with all my cd-r games.. but last night i tried my first dvd-r game and it did'nt 'rego'nize'.

So am i going to need a new chip that can read dvd-r's?

Also, what is your preffered media format for ps2?

Also, is anyone interesting in trading on my ftp?

What brand of media are you using Pat?

Because not all brands can be read by PS2s and XBoxs.

I was told that ps2's read dvd-r discs.

so i bought a box of 10 memorex dvd-r's

burnt 3 coasters so far.

(altho i'm not yet convinced that my ps2 tigerwoods 2004 is a coaster because it burned without issue)....

i just wish my console would play it. im afraid ill need a new modchip....

phuk.. if i'm gonna get a new modchip for my ps2.. i'd be better off just getting a new xbox with a mod. gtaVC on xbox must be faaking sweet.

The Memorex should be alright...and yah...I'm pretty sure DVD-R is needed, not DVD+R.

What kind of burner do you have?

I got a cheap bestbuy packaged brand called I/O magic...

i thought i was getting a deal 8x multiformat for 200 bucks..

but the receipt read 270, and by then i was home and the drive was installed.. so that's what i've got.

it seems alright... i burned tiger woods last night successfully at 1x write speed. heh

i dont mind waiting longer for a dvd that will actually fucking work.

mabie ill try a movie dvdiso tonight.
