    [B]Whats your problem? I told you the point i wanted to make and have admitted i may be wrong but will try to test it for mysef, yet you still presist on how i was wrong, for another post, without adding anything usefull to the post. This is by no way a competition, but more importantly on how to help DanK. You may be right but that does not give you the right to insult me, as everybody including yourself is prone to mistakes.

    Your first post on this thread, in fact claimed me to be a liar, ".PS2 needs to be modded to play any sort of copied media (cd-r, dvd-r...). Remember ? You called me a liar and now you claim that I insulted you ? That is a vain thing, in deed.

    You post talked as with "certainsty, and yet you revealed later, that did not even know if dvd back-ups would play on a PS2 ? And, you posted on a thread which had been silent for 3 weeks, and the threadstarter didn't show the courtesy to respond to the last post of mine or of any poster since ?

    I was not persisting on how you were wrong.......I was actually showing you to actually look at what had been posted before my last post, about somebody suggesting a modchip solution, and then your posting?, and in your last post, still, you are saying that the threadstarter needs a modchip, to play dvd burns in the PS2, even though, in the same sentence, admit, you've never installed a mod chip and your PS2 is not modded, either.

    Now, the threadstarter , also, admitted at the start, that the threadstarter knew that specific Brand/make of DVD media to be burned actually worked in the PS2 (not thought it "might" work, not heard that, "maybe" it would work, .......but, actually knew, from firsthand observation/experience, such burned media would play in the PS2). I did not choose to insult that person , but rather chose to answer with a very good freeware burning solution for the DVDDshrink files.......as, on another thread, DanK, did state Nero to be a "s..tty burning software.".

    I don't have a problem. I am not the person whom called an honest man's, honest answer, a lie.

      Also, 2 year old X Boxes also play the DVD-R's burned with the IMG CLASSIC v. 091.2 (newest version)/DVDDecrypter v. 3.2.0.0 (or earlier versions) and without a "mod-chip".

        From a technical standpoint, a PS2 has no way of knowing whether, for example, a music CD you're trying to play is 'copied' or not. There's no way the drive can tell if it's a CD-R or DVD-R as opposed to a factory pressed disc. It's just not possible.

        PS2's need to be modded for other reasons -- to play games, etc. But those are for data validation reasons. Red Book Audio format (CD format) has no such validation specs and therefore if the CD-R is physically readable, it will play.

        Same goes with DVD-R's versus factory pressed movie discs. The only difference would be the fact that the movie data itself is encrypted in a store-bought movie, and not on a home-burned disc. However, all DVD players will play unencrypted files because the DVD Video spec does not REQUIRE discs to be encrypted. It just so happens that most are. To carry the DVD-Video logo, your player MUST be able to play non-encrypted discs.

        If your PS2 isn't reading burned media, then try different media, or a different PS2. I have one of the first PS2's ever made, and it plays lots of different kinds of CD-R's and DVD-R's.... (no... it's not modded, either).

          Maybe it's just your PS2. My son got a PS2 last Christmas. My DVD backups, burned to DVD +Rs work just fine on his PS2. They also worked on his girlfriend's PS2. To my knowledge, they are both stock, straight out-of-the-box PS2s.
