@schat that would be correct ;)

a standard 80 or 90 min blank cdr and not a blank 4.7gb DVD-R or DVD+R :)

:) no worries at being new we all have to start somewhere :)

thats what we are here for :)

PS2 will NOT play a vcd as its not standard compliant DVD video its VCD mpeg1 and not DVD or dvd using mpeg2 and it has to be on a dvdr disk not cdr :)

what player are you using to play back on the pc !?

try using power dvd or video lan

video lan is freeware so google for it or search the forum :)

there are also many other freeware vcd/svcd players out there :)

Not all DVD Players will play VCD's but if its a new model, then it should do that. What software did you try playing it on the PC ?, if you use Windows Media Player, you need to select the AVSEQ01.dat file in the MPEGAV folder by changing the Files Type to All Files (*.*) If it cant play it, then you have a problem with the CDR's or your player.
