![]() I've very very very rarely had a bad burn (about 1 in every 100 discs at most), and it's due to either the media being poor, I was pissing around with the computer during burning or the rip was bad in the first place. I burn at the slowest speed the drive allows. What ESR does is patch the ISO image of the game to include two different data sessions. ESR is an application that lets you play certain PS2 backups without modifying the system as. For PS2 games that are on CD, you'll have to convert it to DVD (then ESR patch it, of course). You cannot use ESR to boot burned PS1 games. Well from personal experience, using my coffee table which is a 366MHz PC with '95 and ImgBurn. ![]() A Ritek G04 or G05 dye based disc or a Verbatim will still be usable in years to come, whereas your CMC etc dyes will often go 'milky' and fail within a year in a lot of cases. As for DVD based games or movies again at the lowest possible speed but as is the case with CD-r's always be careful which brands you buy. If you're backing up PSX, Saturn or Neo Geo CD titles etc where the read speed of the units is very slow then discs burnt at quick or relatively quick speeds will normally tend to 'stutter' and skip during FMV playback and give playback errors if the games have CDDA whereas games burnt as slowly as possible usually tend not to. Whilst burning isn't an exact science I think the thing to take into account is disc drive speed. Personally I've always burned as slowly as the writer and media permit and this generally seems to be the rule of thumb with everyone I know.
