I recommend NOT playing dvds in your ps2. You can buy a dvd player for $20-$30, why wear out your ps2 playing dvds? Have you always had problems playing movies, or did it just start?

Agreed. The PS2 is a very low end DVD player, even with the remote. There's no point in putting added strain on it. You can get a decent dual format DVD player for $30-$40, like sly mentioned. Aside from that, it could be case of dodgy media. What's the Media ID of the discs you're using?

91. Q. What is the Media ID of a DVD and how can I find it?
A.The Media ID of a DVD is the true measure of it's quality. It contains prerecorded info about the disc's manufacturer. The quality of the disc will vary depending on the media code. The media code isn't visible on the disc or the packaging. To check the media ID, Open DVD Decrypter, insert your disc, and check what it says under Media ID or Manufacturer ID. You can also use a program called DVD Identifier which is very useful. You can find it here: http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/
Compare the Media ID to this link: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

Perhaps the discs are scratched or dirty, or maybe your laser is. You could try cleaning it with a Q tip and rubbing alcohol. Short of that, picking up a cheap DVD player is the best solution.


74. Q. I turn on my PS2, the disc spins and makes a "clicking" sound. It says "disk read error" in my browser, what do I do?
A. This could be a sign your laser is dirty or scratched. Clean it with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol if you think it might be dirty, also be sure to check it for scratches. Fat PS2 v.1-11: http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Guides/ps2diy/ Consult the links listed earlier in this thread for info. This could also be a sign your game is dirty or scratched. You can clean it with rubbing alcohol and a lint free cloth or tissue. Only apply a couple drops of rubbing alcohol on the disc, 4 or so evenly spaced. You may want to use an eye dropper for this. Rub it with a lint free cloth or tissue in a non circular pattern until it's dry. Your other option is to buff out the surface scratches with on the disc with a "Game Doctor." I came across a $20 Memorex cleaning device at Wal-Mart which basically does the same thing. It worked wonders for my scratched Breaker Pro disc. The Game Doctor will set you back around $40. If the scratches are too deep, this won't make any difference. If you get the "clicking" sound with a backup, all these same things apply. Also MAKE SURE that your not using cheap media. Again check the links posted earlier in this FAQ. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/240341

The slimline PSTwo's are known for having skethchy DVD
playback. I had the same problem although it was only on some movies and not all of then. Then my friend would play them on his DVD player and they played just fine.
So i did as suggested above and when the big sale days like Black Friday hit i bought a stand alone Lite-On DVD player/burner and now they play just fine.
