backing up metal gear solid 2 substance to a dvd9 disc

i tried backing up MGS2 substance to a dvd+r9 the ps2 reconizes it as a ps2 game but when i go to play it it hangs at the black screen. i have a matrix infinity 1.2 and i used dvd decrypter to burn it using a pioneer A08 XL at 2.4x my ps2 is a version 9 or 10 and it reads the original disc fine i used a ridata disc

i also tried making the image with dvd decrypter and burning with nero

also my ps2 read a dvd9 copy of fight club fine anyone have any more ideas?

Maybe the laser can't pickup on the second layer of the DL backup disc.

The problem lies on the damn layer point.

ALL DVD9 PS2 games uses PTP, and not OTP. DVD descrypter must preserve that layer point as it is (PTP), perhaps the problem lies on deleting this pointer, or automatically using OTP at burning process.

You need to check this one.

PS: Anyway, DVD+R/+RW sucks (IMHO). ;)
