Can a Playstation 2 play a vcd?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I started burning my own vcds with Roxios creator 5 and i dont know if its just a bad burn or the PS2 doesnt read a vcd. I burned a music cd and it worked just fine in the PS2. Anyonr with the answer please let me know.

PS2 doesn't recognize VCD, pressed or CD-R/RW.

A SPECIAL PROGRAMME IS REQUIRED TO PLAY THE VCDS ON A PS2 BUT IT CAN BE DONE IT CONVERTS THE VCD INTO A "MINITURE" VCD THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH DOING THIS IS THAT CONVERTING THE VCD CAN TAKE OVER 5 HOURS PER DISC. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A QUICKER AND SIMPLER WAY OF DOING THIS AND SOON AS I FIGURE IT OUT I WILL POST IT HERE

the answer to all your questions is, yes ps2 can play cdr movies but not in the way you think. firstly, you have to download some software called ps2 reality media player which can be found and downloaded at www.ps2reality.net after this is done, burn the cue file using alcohol 120% and then, you will need to run it on a modded ps2. however, it does not play vcds, but, yes its a good but, you can play avi files on it. just burn your avi files as a data cd using nero burning rom and put it on disk. when you run the software, it will sk you to swap the disc with the movie, just eject the tray and put in the movie,it works great. it also plays mp3 and jpeg files.
