Ok so I just got a DVD burner (yeah yeah i'm a late adopter) for a good deal at a local electronics store. Samsung unit, that if I recall is a Dual Layer. So I have nero 6 and was trying to use it to create DVD's to watch on my PS2. I was not burning games or copying DVD's but trying to put AVI's of shows like BestMotoring and Top Gear on too the DVD's. I had nero convert the files into a playable format. I then tried watching them on my PS2.

Now I do not get a disc error message but the PS2 can not load it. It keeps saying "loading Disc". I tried burning a "burned" movie that my friend had given me (that i know works on my ps 2 ) and itwould read his burned copy but not mine. They would play fine on my sisters DVD player as well as the DVD drive.

I am using DVD-R which I know work on my PS2 (i forget what version it is). I was just wondering if there was a trick to getting the PS2 to play them, maybe a vob file or something that I needed to change or edit. Or maybe just using a different program to burn it. Or maybe the TDK media that i am useing is not PS2 friendley.

 

Never tried to view burned movies on a PS2. Do you have any other DVD player (not pc) to test it on? I have a old sony and that would not play any DVD-r but I have a Samsung and it plays everything you can think of.
You may be better off searching the net than in here. Good luck.

 

well i have about 10 "back"up movies that my friend burned for me about 2 years ago. His pc crashed and he does not remember what program he use to burn them. THey have always played fine on my pc.

And like i said the DVD i made play on my sisters dvd player
