Oh dear.... not my PS2 please!

This evening I fast forwarded though about 1/3rd of a DVD, and when I got to the right place, and continued, the DVD was skipping horribly.   I really, really hope I didn\'t mess up my PS2!  Argh!  I can\'t afford to have it fixed if I did.  

Warning:  Even if there is a good reason, don\'t FF through 35 minutes of DVD movie.

Why not chapter skip or Scene Selection?

I know that I am pointing out the obvious, but did you try another movie or restarting your PS2. I had terrible problems with a copy of the Sixth Sense; when it changed layers, it skipped all over the place, the audio was terribly garbled which ultimately left 1/3 of the movie unwatchable. Turns out it was a faulty disc; the replacement plays without a hitch.  Hope your problems are not that disimiliar.

I would, but that\'s the "good reason"... I was giving a synopsis of the plot to a friend while we skipped to an important part.  sigh.

EDIT:
To the other post, I hadn\'t seen.  I\'ve watched this movie before, and no problems.   I\'m just about to watch it again from the start after cleaning my PS2... oh gawd... I hope this works!

Aghhhh. . .

Most of my DVD\'s that skip have a fingure print from somewhere. I kknow I never do it. Constent Fast Forwarding should not harm the DVD. Simply for the fact the Nothing other then Light ever touches the DVD. I know its a simple solution and Im sure since you are intelegent that you have tried it, but I would clean it. Agian if neccisary.

check and make sure nobody put gum in the tray like my roommate did to mine!!

Some DVDs are not full compatible with the PS2
