If you use anything less than the combination I described above, you do so at the long term detriment of your PS2's DVD laser diode.

Thanks for the great replies and ideas/suggestions. I will put them all to use and see what ends up being the best result for me

btw dont buy DVD-R / CD-R off ebay they will most likely be fakes get them from a reputable shop like http://www.rima.com/ and http://www.supermediastore.com/ etc...........


also remember what i said with my Dreamcast , if it loads quick and sounds tight its a good thing. If your PS2 is taking ages to load and sounds sluggish change your , burner , burn software , burn speed , media.

Alright man, thanks for the advice! Don't know where i would be without you guys

All the more reason to go with OPL, you wont be putting any wear and tear on the optical drive (even less than using retails discs!).
