Have you tried at least one high quality DVD-R? They have about double the reflectivity of cheap DVD-Rs. DVD-RW are usually much higher quality compound than unbranded DVD-R.

You should try this just to be sure that it's a media problem. Recalibrating may incrase the laser power for the lower reflectivity DVD-R but your laser will burn out in the short to medium term.

Hi charlie

I have only used Verbatim DvD-r they play but often freeze .

it was'nt until I tried the Verbatim DVD-RW that the freezing problem went completely. expensive.

I also bought some cheap general purpose dvds £1 each
(Bulkpaq), same thing again load okay but within 2 minutes freeze.

I think its somthing to do with the colour , my ps2 does'nt like pink dvds

What do you think
