OK, so after making that last post I decided to try some things before I had to go to work. Instead of taking apart the PS2 and adjusting the white cog I decided to just start rifling through the big spool of Riteks I own.

I throw one in and burn Vice City at 2-speed...... 30 minutes later I had a near perfect copy. No more PS2 making strange clicking sounds, and only the slightest pausing happened one or two times during the intro, game ran flawlessly.

This is after burning four Ritek's at 1x into skipping, click-sound inducing Vice City coasters.... WTF??

So, I need to get home tonight to try and re-burn the games with skipping video at 2-speed to see if it fixes that.

Has anyone ever heard of this kind of thing before, burning games at 2x working better than at 1x???

How long should normally take to burn a full DVD at 1x, about 60 minutes right?
