I just wondered if anybody knew of a way to correct this? I ask because I found a way to skip videos on FFIX and the game runs smoothly. This was by opening the disc cover on my Playstation 1.

Any help at all would be appreciated.

Aww no. This happens to my FFVII CDs (at Junon on Disc 1 and with Bugenhagen at the Ancients City on Disc 2) occasionally. As a result, I always wipe the disc with a cloth (usually the bottom of my t-shirt, lol!) before I put the disc in , and save before the FMVs in question, just in case. I haven't found any way to skip FMVs in VII and VIII unfortunately.

Possibly the disc may be damaged. You can take this to any rental/video game store and they can try and repair them, which involves careful cleaning and putting on a protective film, for a small fee.

A little less likely, if this happens with any other games, it might me the machine. Try the disc on a friend's machine, for example, to rule this out.

Getting the disc repaired might not work if the damage is too severe, such as a really bad scratch, but it's quite cheap; more so if you have more CDs, DVDs or games that keep sticking or glitching up as they usually do discounts for multiple repairs.

Hope this helps.
