at this day and age you don't need to burn ps2 games at 2.4x speed, most burners and media support up to 16x speeds.
ever tried burning them at 16x with ps2 games ?
have you burned many ps2 games at 8x or greater ?
and had good reliable unflawed results?
can you re read them again later on to make another backup?
I
have literally burned
thousands of disks for everything you would ever possibly need to use a dvd blank for and know what speed is reliable to burn them at!
About 90% of the time you get stutters and jumps with the graphics and music in ps2 games/ stutters and glitches with dvd video and corrupt data with data backups! ...using 8x or greater regardless of what media is used!
Yes they say rated at upto 16x on the media but due to poor ass dye used on a majority of media and shoddy manufacturing processes to get mass volume blanks out in the world ..you will rarely get a good burn of anything you use them for 16x regardless ..even if you spend a small fortune on what you think are good branded disks ... the truth is BRANDED disks are probably the
worst media to go for they as a lot tend to be CMC
(CMC Magnetics Corporation) which are
the worst media to use for anything with some burns being unable to be read again immediately after burning!
I only ever use media with (A grade RITEK G05) based dye on them .... as these are most reliable for me for all my media burning! (I burn at 2.4x max for my ps2 games .... and my Pioneer DVR-115 will burn dvd-r at
20x I haven't felt the need to ever burn at 20x .....I know it would be just wasting disks!)
note: some people burn at 4x maximum with ps2 but its advised at most ps2 forums to burn slower ie 2.4x 2.0x or sometimes 1x for better/best compatibility!
