Help:Pioneer DVD-RW 104 and Playstation 2

[S-Cript]

Hi
ive just bought the DVD-RW 104 from pioneer
(the bulk version of the A04)
and i burned my first DVD movie using Powerdirector 2.0
on a Princo DVD-RW disc

the Disc worked fine on my PC
however on my Playstation 2 it refuses (comes up withdisc-error)
to read the disc

what am i doing wrong??

My Playstation 2 in a European version of the 30004 family
and is not modified

Thanx in advance

You arent doing anything wrong Playstation 2 are notorious for playing some and then not other DVD's.

Verbatims seem to be the favoured DVD-R media for PS2s

Your problem is that it's a DVD-RW. I use the Pioneer DVR-104 as well. I have burned (using various software) DVD-RW's so perfect that old first-gen '96 DVD players have run them flawlessly.

PS2 still chokes on 'em. Not a damned RW I've tried has played in it.

PS2 has a problem with cheap DVD-R media sometimes too. However, it tends to play fine when I burn ordinary stuff onto Apple or Pioneer blanks, and generics from some places (esbuy.com) are perfectly functional. (shrug).... even with the DVD player driver update for PS2, still very buggy.

And to me the PS2's lack of VCD compatibility is completely unacceptable. I can play the things in a Dreamcast or a PS1, but not a PS2. Sounds like laziness and corner-cutting to me.

The up side is that the PS2 gives a great picture and sound for commercial DVDs...

PS2 only plays certain media. It's also really picky about it too.

to play it safe with the PS2 use TDK media, it works really well in the ps2--
