I suspect that yr ps2 laser isn't up to the challenge of running dvd-r. It will play cdr fine because in effect the ps2 has two different lazing diodes (i.e different lasers for cd an dvd) so while cdr will be okay dvd could be the problem.

First get some better media (Traxdata,DVDMaster,Ritek, anything ritek dye based), Secondly run a cleaning disc through yr ps2 about 5 times in a row then try again. If still not working u could look into recalibrating yr laser but personally I would remove messiah and sell ps2 then buy a second hand version 7 or above. That will read dvd-r no problems.

Sorry 4 bad news,Regards
