8 This is not saying it doesn't work with any DVD - just specifically
9 that it doesn't work with DVD-ROM media. As someone else pointed out,
10 these old game console DVDs might well be using a media type specific
11 to that console - still not usable with dvdisaster. It (dvdisaster)
12 would probably work with DVD-Data (if that's the right name for it)
13 although that obviously won't help you any.
