"Problem with DVD"

Yesterday I was watching The Godfather part 2 for the first time, the disc was brand new, and it's never been touched before, and then at a certain part, it paused and a large part of the movie was skipped (about a minute or so). I tried to rewind, but it skips everytime. I thought there was something wrong with the disc, so I tried it on my pc DVD, and it worked perfectly! I mean it worked 100% perfectly, without the slightest pause, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it, so I tried it on my ps2 again, and the same problem happens with the same part, I kept trying it all over agin and again, and nothing worked, I tried to put the ps2 vertically, and 2 seconds of it were played, but still the rest of it didn't seem to exist, I tried it again on my pc, and it was perfect, and then again on the ps2, and I get the same problem... Anyone has a reasonable explanation ? And please don't just ignore me like all the other posts, this is a serious one, if you have any idea about this please tell me, because it has been really bothering, and all the activities of my life had stopped ever since this thing happen.

I have the answer:

Move to a decent country.

Try it and see. But considering the PS2 will not play the DVDs you want correctly then you have two choices.

1) Play through PC
2) Buy a standalone DVD player for £40

That's exactly what I've been thinking about ever since I got interested into video games.

Hey, I tried to connect my pc to the new TV using the S-video plug, and it appeared black and white, not just the dvd, I mean everything, the whole pc is displayed in black and white when I connect it using the s-video plug, my TV is 100 HZ, and it can receive all signals (pal, ntsc, secam,etc...) I tried to change the display format from the pc options from pal to ntsc and vice versa and it doesn't work, and then when I tried to use the normal audio video plug (composite) it appeared in colours, but it always appears black and white when using s-video, does anyone have any idea about this ?

Please tell me the point in doing all that.

Don't they have cheap DVD players in Egypt?

Oh yeah and don't they come with super interface screening system and double deflector 50210's so it never skips?

just tell me, can anyone solve the problem ?
