    How do you handle vcd?

    Let's say you like vcd movies and you already know you can't play
    them on Playstation 2 ? What do you do with your big fat collection of VCD movies? I mean is there anyway for people with
    VCD movies to convert them to other format so they will be playable on Playstation 2 ? Then if its possible then please teach
    me how to do it, thank you very much!

    Sincerely,

    dog8me

    mydvd by sonic is what i use
    basically drag movies in (bar tells u how much space is needed, cd or dvd burning possible,have tested dvdr on ps2 but not cdr

    it does take a while to process your image depending on your pc and how big the vcd is
    then burn your dvdr (regonised as a dvd on standalone and ps2)

    options to create menus so on are included multiple films on 1 dvdr ( still vcd quality )

    Assuming we don't do any file conversions, PS2 can't play VCD. Period. VCDs players are dirt cheap. Just get one of those..

    Yeah, I'm almost sure that there's no MPG1 decoder built into PS2, just MPG2 (for DVDs).

    I have lots of anime on VCD, and I saved them on DVD (20 episodes per disc) with VCD standard fileformat (just increased audio because DVD standards).

    The result was a BIIIIG VCD that plays on standalone DVD players (with VCD support) but being played on PS2 every frame looks bad decoded, just as if the pixels were 1000 times bigger.

    So you need to convert the files to a REAL DVD supported format.

    Greets!
