How about this, burn it on a ritek dvdr, put it in and press reset, it should work perfectly.

Sony says you need a mod to play dvd-r dvd flicks. duno if this is the case or not.

That isn't true at all as all of my DVD-R films play perfectly in my unmodded 30001R PS2, my GF's 30001 PS2 and my buddies' 39001 PS2. So three different unmodded PS2s play my Fujifilm and Ritek DVD-R movies just fine.

All PS2s can play films on dvd-r, you just have to find the correct media for your console, games need a modchip but films are fine.

I know it varies on different PS2's, depending on how old they are, but I have found best results with Riteks, dont know if that's just on our model.

I have had a few unbranded and whitetops from BST suppliers, that wouldn't work, although when I re-burnt these to Riteks they worked fine too.

Hope this helps

Yeah Princos are great aren't they:tdown: I have had the same problem with them myself but once I transferred to Ritek then everything works great.:D
