I found a video on the net that I D/L'ed, and I wanted to burn for play on my PS2. I only have regular CD discs, and a CD-burner, so I wanted to know if its possible to burn the disc in a format the PS2 can read. Currently, the movie is in .avi format. Any help at all would be great.

Well, I know that the GameShark dudes have an app for the PS2 that can play MP3s, WMAs, videos, etc.

The ps2 can read any format file. Remember, the ps2 has no OS or software of its own, all the code for use in bootup to file playback, etc is part of the software on the game disc itself.

alright, thanks guys. I do know for sure that my PS2 wont read mp3 discs (have tried), but maby the newer ones can (I got mine 2 years after they first came out). Oh well, I will try the disc and let you know if it worked out.

EDIT:

Nope, didn't work Oh well...

That's not really true, the PS2 has a BIOS/bootROM which does that. Plus, I think he's asking whether the built-in video software can do it. I've been told it won't read burned movies at all, but I don't have any to try it with. If anything though, I think you'd need to burn it to a DVD.

Just checked; my PS2 plays burned DVD videos just fine. I doubt, however, that it's set up to read any kind of video file from a regular CD, other than those from PS1 games where they're told to play by the game code.

It's extriemly unlikley that it's going to play straight mp3's on a disc. You would need a disc program that would play them for you.
