If you can see your files on your PC there's nothing really wrong with your burning method. Did you try with another game? Also what are you using for your PS2; modchip (type), swap magic, flip top,... Btw you could use DVDDecrypter too for burning your backups, after reading the game just set your settings ISO read to ISO write and it burns on your DVD.

i have a silver ps2 with the latest magic chip installed (no need to swap discs)
I have downloaded stuff from the net and burned and played no probs and also i have no problems doing other games its is only the EA games stuff - I have read that these have to be patched from the iso stage to make them play but cannot find any where to get a universal patch
please advise what you think - i have also just tried F1 2003 and it is the same?????

What media are you using for DVD, also -r or +r? There is a patch for your F1 here http://ps2chimps.ps2newz.net/2003.html press ctrl+F and fill in formula one.
