Hi, welcome to the forum scottus
The silver PS2 is a v9. You will need a modchip of some sort in order to play any kind of PS2 backup. I would suggest looking at a Messiah 2. Post back if you need any help on locating installers.
Follow any of the tutorials posted either
here or on my site for making your PS2 backups.
The PS2 v9 should be able to play DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW. What format you create depends on what DVD burner you have.
I hope that this helps
