Could it be a Macrovision signal on a CSYNC line tricking the monitor's AGC? To be honest with, I see nothing wrong in your video. For me, it just looks like a mismatch between recording a 50 Hz signal using a 30/60 fps camera. But if you experience a brightness change, try a PS2/PS1 PAL game to check if there are any problems with the signal. If there are, then I will not help you any further, since I'm not a technician.

Thanks for the reply
I'm not really sure, but I'm beginning to think it's a cable problem
The cheap AV to SCART cable I bought on eBay regularly shorts out on me
I'm hoping the more expensive, grounded "Sync on Luma" cable I ordered recently fixes the problem
Watch the movie in daylight. Maybe you are not familiar with 50 Hz signals and watching them when the 60 Hz light source is near (assuming you are from U.S.), gives your headache.
Of course, in my previous post, I meant a sync on a composite video signal, not a CSYNC (combined sync signals only). Your monitor does not manifest sync problems, so spending 40 dollars for a cable is an overkill (BTW, looks like a r3tr0 g4m3rz community is an another sect after a audiophiles or anti-vaxers and so on).

I respect your opinion, and I'm sure you know quite more about these things than I do
But I already spent the money and it seemed like a solid investment
As I mentioned, the $10 cable I bought on eBay is utter crap, and $40 isn't very much to never have to worry about it again
But I really do appreciate you responding and trying to help me through this admittedly trivial problem of mine lol
This is a DVD video player isn't related to games. You can use OPL for games (it can boot games from any region, as any other homebrew launcher).
entonces, ¿es imposible reproducir un disco ntsc en un ps2 pal, sin un modchip?

Yes, there are different methods depending on the Ps2 model.
If you have a 5000X or newer the best way is MechaPWN. If you have a 3900X or previous there are only the old, usual swap trick ways.
installation method are explained in the first page at the columns: "How to install it on MC" and "Run it from USB"
I think it's not possible atm to run this from HDD.
I don't think so. I always get that message (if MechaPWN is installed) and my 75004 has a perfect battery (unplugged from the AC power it keeps the date and time for months).
The fact that you get the message only sometimes is strange. First time I heard this behavior.
It happened using the same DVD video (sometimes it starts, sometimes doesn't), or different ones (some DVDs always start, and others never)??

Sure it doesn't hurt. Let me know if it solves the issue.
I didn't read carefully your first post. Actually you were getting a different error (I was referring to the "DVD player isn't installed one").
I'm glad you solved
