How to Burn IMG Files so That They Work on the PS2

IMG files are similar to ISO files. They both contain the data and contents of a disc. The files are used to create discs. Burning IMG files involves taking the IMG file and writing it to a disc so that the disc is playable in disc players, including Sony's PlayStation 2 console. Discs that can be played with the PS2 include 12 cm DVD-ROM and CD-ROM discs in the PlayStation 2 format, and 12cm or 8cm audio CDs, DVD videos and DVD-RW (VR Mode) discs. The discs must be finalized. And, they can't be viewed if the were recorded from media with CPRM copy protection in place.
