Tips and guidance to a newbie - much appreciated.

Not quite sure what your exact question is. The playstation 2 can play DVDs natively, and should play any that you make on your PC using a DVD writer.0

Hope this helps0 -

When i burned a movie onto disc using Windows media player it told me the burn was successful. However when i put it in the playstation it said i need to put a playstation compatable disc in...what have i done wrong?
Just thought this may be what i am doing wrong - the discs im trying to burn to sat CD-R so *blonde moment* does that mean it can only play Audio sounds...Would i need DVD-R, or DVD disc (written on cd)0 -
What type of disc are you using (DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW etc)?
Is it an old/new PS1 or PS2?How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?

The disc says CD-R and it is a playstation 2. Thing is i am sooo clueless about burning. I use the CD-R when making a music CD and im guessing im using the wrong disks for a movie...0

What type of file are you trying to burn? Is it avi mpg vob? (check the last letters of the file you are trying to burn).
Once you have posted this we will be able to assist better!0 -
if its a movie file you have donwloaded etc etc then you will have to convert the said file from xvid,divx,avi,mpeg etc to a dvd file (namely VOB) then burn it using some software as nero or clone dvd.0

I renamed them once i stored them on the PC but i do know they were Avi files (Told me this as i was downloading).
Yes i would like to transfer from my PC to a disk. Reason is so i can watch them on the playstation 2 in my bedroom.0 -
I would guess that if it's a full movie on a CD, it will likely be DivX (.AVI)How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?
