Hello

I have no problmes having watched 3 DVD's

My DVD Driver version is 1.02E, I have one of the new batch of PS"'s that Dixons had.

I've only had lipsynch problems on one DVD. (Ali G Aaiiii,) although I use the DVD quite a bit. The problem always happened in a different place, but when I got the disk changed I haven't had a problem since.
I haven't checked the driver version, but it was one of the original ones.

I have problems with lip synch on wild things on mine. How do I get this sorted ?
cheers http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

I watched End of days on my mates ps2 which he lent me whilst away on holidays.....after about an hour it started to go out of sync........stopping it & starting it fixed it however
when I told him about the problem he wasnt too impressed & tried to ring the Irish helpline no.....which aint working for some strange reason!
So can anyone give me the uk number to try and see if he can get any joy ?
Thanks
Niall

Ive still got a lip Sync problem, even on the replacement machine.

I just hit Pause twice on the Logic 3 dvd remote i got..... takes a nano second and all is ok again. I shall live with the problem a while longer.

Anyone know when Dark Cloud and Gun Griffen are being released. They look excellent.

All,

Just got off the phone with Sony and they have given me something to try. Under the DVD settings menu, they recommend that you go into audio setup, and turn the Dolby Digital output to off. This has a known problem of causing lip sync errors, and stupidly enough comes set to ON as standard!!

If this does not work then its got to be returned.

Eh? What if you want Dolby digital sound?

Greg

replacement arriving this Wednesday, I get huge problems on chap 10 of the world is not enough, cannot jump to chap 10, and get disc read error when playing through.

cheers,

Greg

Well I'm on my 3rd PS2 and still get lip sync problems, and often get data read error on the world is not enough DVD past chapter 10.

has anyone with lip sync problems had them permanently fixed?

cheers,

Greg

Greg,

I only seem to get lip sync errors on films that are single layer. With the double layered DVD's i.e. Gladiator, and Braveheart, no lip sync error at all. however on the Lost Boys etc which as far a I know are single layer, all the old lip sync problems arise. The Dolby Digital output should only be turned off if you are not using it i.e. via an optical link

Dunk

Dunk,

I use optical out, and get lip sync on multi layer films, ie Alien Legacy + others!

Just been on the phone again to Sony, and have now got another different answer.
They told me that older DVD's will have a problem on PS2 due to the fact they were made before the PS2 was released and they were not made with in mind. He did say that all the latest DVD's will play, with no problem at all. I did by Braveheart at the weekend, and this had Lip sync problems also. Will be trying Snatch tonight, as he seemed to think would be OK, but if not then they have just fobbed my off. I ask if the machine could be replaced, and they were very reluctant to do so.

Dunk

That sounds like a heavy dose of bollocks that you've been given, Dunk. Are they seriously suggesting that DVDs have to be specially written to allow lip sync on a PS2???

This could be why Mission:Impossible 2 has stickers on saying "PS2 compatable"...

Don't accept it - if it's supposed to play DVDs, it should do so properly.

Chiark,

Watchdog covered this, apparently some DVDs are mastered that don't match the spec 100% and causes problems. For Toy Story 2 they actually re-mastered it after production to cure problems.
