DVD Burner help

[AI3]

Alright i have a Sony DVD + RW/CD-RW DRU -120 A and im having a lot of problems with it. ok i got RecordMax with it and im supposed to be able to burn .GI files with that so i load up the .GI file (my burner is reconized and everything) then i put in a Blank Verbatim DVD-R and it says that the CD dosent have enough space a 1.3 gig file and most of the time it dosnet even read the DVD-R, i already tried to insert another dvd but nothing? should i take back the sony and get a Phillips? i wish i could get a pioneer but they have none around here.

I dunno if it´s a typo from U , but a DVD+RW burner only supports dvd+r and dvd+rw disc´s and not dvd-r..
If it´s not a typo, make sure U have the latest firmware and that the software is up-to-date.

No Typo, I tried DVD + Rs and such but nothing really works it sux. I heard that ps2 games only Read DVD-Rs. and thats what im trying to back up.

I have a hp dvd+rw myself works fine, but my ps2 can´t play the recorded discs (dunno about dvd+r, only tried dvd+rw´s), I´ve tried hp and some cheap brand dvd+rw´s without any luck. Works great in my standalone player and comp dvd readers.
Some say that only newer models of the ps2 v4+ can play dvd+r´s.. but I dunno how true that is..

If I had the option to change my dvd+rw for a dvd-rw I would do it right away.. Mainly because of the ps2 issue, and the fact that dvd+r and dvd+rw disc are so expensive compared to dvd-r´s here.. My computer came with the dvd+rw drive so I didn´t have any options (besides not getting a hp comp cheap)
Just my thoughts.

Well im going to take the sony back witch one should i get.. Im mainly doing the ps2 back-up thing these are my choices (BTW thank you guys for the help.. after days of frustration FINALLY somone knows what the hell there talking about)

1. HP DVD Writer 200xi
2. HP DVD Writer 100i
3. Philips ReWriter Internal DVD+RW/CD-RW Drive — DVDRW208

I think they have a couple more The sony i currently own and a cheap generic one..

I currently own a hp 200j , besides the ps2 problem it works great with the latest firmware and updated primodvd.
