DVD-R Movies on PS2?

[barkroc2]

should play fine, w/ or w/out a chip in the ps2. does it play good in a dvd player, or your comp? id say bad burn, you get any errors in the burn log, or doing anything to slow down the cpu when your burning the disc?

the DVDs play fine on my PC. I have both a big PS2 and a slim PSTwo. One DVD that I burned plays choppy on the big PS2, but plays ok on the slim. I decided to try buring another DVD at a slower burn speed, (I started with 8x, on my second try I took it down to 4x), and that DVD ran choppy on both PS2s. I've been using Nero Express 6 to burn and my DVD-Rs are Fujifilm 4.7 GB/120 min DVD-Rs "up to 8x write speed"

i burn all games, movies at 2x speed.. and it works fine.. also.. try high end discs ritek go4 are the best!

Stick with Name Brand Discs..Sony,Verbatim,TDK or Ritek G04 or G05(My Favorite)..Also I use Sonic Record now Deluxe(Excellent Program BTW)..
Since it lacks in your Ps2 likely your PS2 Laser doesn't like the Brand Disc you're using..That's My guess..

Correct

u ever play backup games on that same media? i agree with the guys above. older ps2 laser worst, slim ps2 laser better, computer laser obviously the best. i burn all my stuff the fastest speed (im impatient) and the cheapest media i can get my hands on (im mad cheap). now i dont buy blank dvd from a garage sale or anything, but i dont pay for riteks (had some and found them less reliable than the memorex i used b4 them). rnm and nero work, but for me, i have had no coasters since switching to dvd decryptor. my best advice: watch the movies on the dvd player if you have one. my friend does the same..ps2 sitting on top of the dvd player, he gets the controls out to watch a movie and waste laser life while preserving his $78 dvd player

I agree. No way i would watch dvd's on my PS2. You can buy dvd players cheaper than you can purchase replacement PS2 lasers. Here in the States you can find dvd players for $29.99.
