If it plays originals then it's either your backup process or media...get some Verbatim blanks and follow Textbook's tutorial for backing up games carefully
Everyone always goes on about getting Verbatim discs, this is a waste of money in my opinion. I have always used the cheapest DL Media I could find at the time of buying for my backups. I have bought RiDisc Xtreme & Zero Defex discs off ebay & have no problems with them at all. They cost about one third of the price of Verbatim!!
I use XBC with the default read speed, BUT I ALWAYS write at 2.4x which is where I think people go wrong and get errors. I don't use any kind of fancy DVD burner, just the bog standard HL-DT-ST GSA-T10N DVD RAM drive that came in my Acer Aspire 5050 Notebook.
But you make your own conclusions, I would always try cheaper media first by buying a small 5 pack. Then if they work OK why change. Just wanna let you know that although everyone always bangs on about Verbatim discs, they are not usually necessary. Maybe it has something to do with your burner, maybe not.
Make sure you write at 2.4x, takes longer but MUCH more reliable. If you are already burning at this speed, then OK try better media.
