Just like the PS1 , the drives in the PS2 are garbage . Each drive seems to like a certain type of blank media . What never failed me on the PS1 & has never failed me for any PS2 is Verbatim's .
Sony did come up with a copy protection later on . They only used it on select games .
Maybe Kingdom Hearts was the first . Anyway it's pretty strange , but things will actually disappear in the games with this protection . Say you need a chest with a key in it . That may not be there , so you can never beat the game . Strange stuff .
Anyway there is a way to rip those games so that won't happen . But I never got involved with it . I didn't want to figure out which games I had to rip one way & which I had to just copy . Back in the PS1 or Dreamcast days , I would've been totally about it . But now , I don't have the time or patience for it . I leave it to the pros & just download the iso's off the newsgroups .

Use Alchool 120% to make a backup. It will copy every sector of the game, and it will be burned again for sure.
To burn again, you can use Alchool to burn it (its have a PS2 setting to burn) or use DVDecrypter , its a small free and woderful software.

I burn all my PS2 games at 4 to 8x speed , as long as you use good media , you shouldn't have a problem .
Alcohol will not even copy those games correctly that I was talking about with that strange copy protection . Some hacker made a program to rip them .
