I'm using an unofficial rgb scart on my PS2, and with RGB mode on the system settings it works fine, except on DVD's, which come out green. I've got dvd region-x, which plays all regions in colour, but I would prefer not to bother with that every time I use a region 2 disc which should work without region x anyway. So do I need an official rgb scart cable, or is it that you can't play DVD'S in colour on PS2 with any rgb scart cable, just games.
Please don't tell me that's the case, that would be stupid-upid.

I'd have to slightly disagree,
The picture quality of a VHS copy from your psx2 toa vhs recorder is very good (don't reply yet), although this depends on the quality of your video.
The inhibition to this form of piracy comes from the macrovision protection which causes a regular drop to fuzziness every few seconds.
I think the best option is to avoid region, and a new lead, and save up for a multiregion DVD player. A 100quid one from Richer Sounds will be alot less hassle.

Not just the first batch... all of them.
The official line is that it's to prevent people from recording DVD's to VHS at the highest quality. That's bull IMHO because no VHS copy will be decent quality anyway.
It's a very strange situation, and a very odd thing to do.

But that's rediculous concidering the PS2 has an RGB option on the menu, is that there just for games, if so what a pile of plop, especially when an rgb connection is about a million times better than the piece of dump that comes with it.
Sony, what are you playing at?
