Well.. I just got a DVD burner and tried to make a backup of one of the new PS2 games.     I used Veritas RecordNow DVD copier.   The DVD allegedly wrote correctly but when I went to run the back of the game, the PS2 said it wasn't a PS2 formated disk.

When you used your DVD burner, what software did you use to copy  with.   And were any of them newer games.
