Excellent video as usual. 🙂 The reason the PS2 outputs only in YPbPr with DVD Video is that the Macrovision copy protection signals don't work as effectively with RGBS as they do with YPbPr, since picture and sync are separate. There were fears this would make illegal copying easier, so Sony chose to not support RGB for DVD Video playback. The PS4 in turn could not feature analog outputs because of the "analog sunset" where Blu-ray Disc players introduced to market starting 2011 were not allowed to output AACS encrypted content over analog in HD. Blu-ray Disc players introduced to market starting 2014 were not allowed to output AACS encrypted content over analog video outputs at all. One of the downsides of playing original PS games on the PS2 is that the dithering is somewhat broken causing vertical stripes in two of the seven dithered patterns, as seen in the Demolition Derby footage at 10:07. This was caused by the 4x4 pixel dither mask having two pairs of values inadvertently swapped.
I appreciate the information & I'm glad someone out there knows why the cable behaves in the way that it does :) I see the dithering breakup now but I still stand by that PS2's are overall excellent ways of playing PS1 games :) Elements like that don't bother me but I understand that if you want total accuracy, get a PS1 proper :)
Great video, and extremely helpful and informative for those interested in playing ps1, ps2 and ps3. And great find btw! I didn’t know the scary cable could do that! Useful to know. Thanks!
@@AffrosCuriositiesOfficial Recently I have started using back again composite on my ps1 and crt tv. Mainly because of colour and dithering blending through composite.
It does support DVD playback with RGB but not in an conventional way. Much like 480p, you need a monitor, display or upscaler which supports YPbPr (Component not Composite) or RGsB to make it work :) It just means it was not supported straight out of the box, you had to work to make it work :)
It's not normally supported because you couldn't also reliably send a form of DRM encoding using a standard RGB SCART signal to prevent recording. The PS2 then began to output YPbPr instead. There was a version of the DVD player software which allowed for proper playback over the standard RGB signal, and you can run it from a USB stick with Free McBoot.
Is it possible to record PS1 with this using Elgato Game Capture HD (2012, the one that supports A/V, composite)? What do I need for the capture card, computer and the TV to recognize the RGB/SCART signals?
Yes it is possible :) You can use Composite but if you want RGB SCART, you'll need an HDMI upscaler (OSSC, Retrotink 2X SCART, Retrotink 5x etc) or you can use a SCART to HDMI converter :)
Thankfully getting older consoles working on modern displays or TV's is easier than ever in 2024 :) (Forgot to mention I used to own the same capture card as you years ago!)

I felt bad for all my friends back then because i was the only one who had the scart cable
I hope you still use it today, it is an interesting & incredible cable :)

@@AffrosCuriositiesOfficial I admit that in spite of the dithering error, I still use my PS2 for PS games out of convenience. 🙂
Plus it is just one of the best ways to see PS1 games since many other ways are emulated :)
Great video, and extremely helpful and informative for those interested in playing ps1, ps2 and ps3.
And great find btw! I didn’t know the scary cable could do that! Useful to know. Thanks!
It is amazing how much the SCART Cable can do & I'm glad you learnt something new about it! :D
I scored one like 12 years ago for less than £5 on carboot sale. Seeing what they cost now....
I brought mine for £75 three years ago so you was extremely lucky! :)
@@AffrosCuriositiesOfficial Recently I have started using back again composite on my ps1 and crt tv. Mainly because of colour and dithering blending through composite.
For me I'd rather a sharp picture with Scart but, nothing wrong with the setup if you like it :)
PS2 didn't support DVD playback over RGB, cant remember why, but you had RGB cables with the switch to change to composite when playing a DVD.
