Ps2 Struggle to read dvd+r

hey guys im fairly new to backing up but when ever i make copies to dvd+r, my ps2 make crazy noises the game works but it sound like the laser is struggling to read the disc, it it just my laser packing up or the discs? i have a v5/6 ps2 and am using "imation dvd+r"
any suggestion would be sweet

 

try dvd-r, older versions b4 8 dont take dvd+rs too well

 

ya probably only the new ones like dvd + r the old ones prefer dvd - r. mine works fine with t or -.

 

My ver 7 loves +r media.
The problem is you are using cheap media.
I use verbatim and fujifilm +r and have never had a problem.

The following list is in preference order.

MXLRG01, MXLRG02 = Maxell = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
MCC = Mitsubishi Chemicals = (-R)<-----------------VERBATIM MY CHOICE #1
TDKG02 = TDK Corp = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
TAIYOYUDEN or YUDEN = Taiyo Yuden = (-R)<--------------FUJIFILM (made in japan) MY CHOICE #2

 

cheer guys i mucked around with different disc types but the verbatim didnt even work, my imation disc seem to do the job for now ive even got gt4 on one but midnight club 3 loads painfully slow, and the strange noises seem to be fading.
