My friend has his PS2 plugged through his video using the S-Video cable that comes with his PS2. When he plays DVDs he gets problems with the picture flashing dark and light.

Is there anything he can do to sort this out? Like getting a different scart cable?

~Thanks~

It does that because it thinks you are trying to illegally copy the DVD, it's kind of a copy-protection thingy.

It only happens when you are running the PS2 through the video player. Not that I tried it :-D

Plug it in the telly and it'll be fine.
