Sorry if obvious question but i am new to this

Yes you can.

With a mod chip, yes.

i guess you should clarify - you mean DVD games? or DVD movies?

films or games mate

Games you need a mod chip, films I think will run even on unmodded PS2s, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong there...

Films will play fine on an umodded.........the playback is pretty good too. better than my standalone dvd player in fact!

yeah u can
u need a chip in ps2 and a pal coverter or have a ntsc tv
so u can play in colour or else it will b in black and white

A neo 2.2 will play dvd-rs if you have the right gameshark and an original dvd with a large toc on PS2 version 1-6

Even on a version 5

www.psx-tech.com

has an 8 wire version 5 diagram
but its just easier to install a no solder mod

A neo 2.2 wont work on a version 7 though

with the right mod chip u can virtually play any dvd r 's on the ps2

Yes, you can play back-ups - search for info on no-solder mod chips, and movies, too
Haven't backed-up a DVD movie for my own use yet, but I created one, and my PS2 played it perfectly! It was even on a Pioneer DVD-RW disc, and had no trouble. Anyways, good luck!
