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.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
