New to burning images

**setharial** · 03-01-2006,11:48 PM

I'm trying to figure out what media I need to burn game images.

I have a SONY DVD+-RW DW-Q58A
I'm trying to use Nero 7 Ultra Edition
I have a v7 PS2

I've read many different types but I wanted an opinion based on what I'm using now. I'm willing to try different burning software as well.

Thanks!!

your burner is fine just make sure you have the latest firmware for it.
as for program i perfer dvd decrypter as it is easy and real good here is a tutorial on how to use it http://members.aol.com/willityl5/madmax.htm
as for media i recomend getting -r media over +r and get Taiyo Yuden brand
burn at 2x. you will need a modchip or swap disk to play backups

Hey man! Download Alcohol 120%. There should be a free trial (just google it). It can burn just about any image file you come across!

**young_meezy** · 03-08-2006,06:06 PM

If that don't work, then it's corrupt, just like itchy said.

I used Alcohol and it worked GREAT!

But I'm wondering why my dvd decrypter is doing that

**BUNJI** · 03-12-2006,07:28 PM

alcohol 120 is acting strange for me, it asks to insert an empty dvd then just stays on that screen for several minutes.

Something isnt right here

**setharial** · 03-12-2006,10:21 PM

That is weird, try reinstalling it first then let us know.

**BUNJI** · 03-13-2006,07:14 PM

yeah I found out that I was the problem

lol

some files ask for CD and some files ask for DVD to be inserted, i was inserting dvd's for files that wanted to go onto cd's.

i figured it out now but i'm still yet to successfully burn a disc with alcohol 120%, it's probably the worst proggy i've used yet. Just doesn't work for me.
