"it plays ok on a standalone DVD player and the PC"

Based on these results, you've done nothing wrong. You've undoubtedly run into a limitation of the game machine's inability to read burned (as opposed to COMMERCIAL) DVDs...

The doom9.org forums contains information on how to make dvd-r's playable on PS2. You may wish to view those posts.

try using a different brand of dvd-r
p.s did you get the firmware update for that burner.. I got an email about a week after buying one telling me that some dvd-r's may actual damage the drive without the update.
if not you can get it
