VCD burning Qs:

if i have VCD file for Media Player can i just burn that on a cd as a data file and have it read in a player? its not the biggest deal in the world since i have better access to computers than VCD players - im not in Japan after all. jus curious.

VCD is mpeg-1 and must be a res of 352x240 or 352x288

Yes, you can have a .dat file found in VCD's recorded onto a cd to be played...
But not by a DVD/VCD player....

Why would you want to do that?
I don't get it.

well i have CKY2K on my comp in a supposedly VCD file. im going to burn it to cd so i can watch it on a computer...but i was just wondering if i could also watch it on a VCD player somehow- even tho im not sure ill have access to it. im just curious as to how that works...late/

Ok, so the video is in .mpg format, right?
In that case, yes you can burn it as a normal file and see it on the comp only.

But you would be much better off burning it as a VCD, viewable by your computer and a DVD/VCD player.

you definitly want the second option.

A good VCD authoring software i use is NERO.

Anything else/still confused?

I've never seen a VCD player before, wow. That would be pretty cool. I know that the PS2 does not play VCDs! I was pretty pissed that it did not have the feature, since I expected it to do this simple task of playing VCDs. I mean the PS-one plays VCDs with a simple attachment that cost about $59

Hope that helps

ok, i have nero- but like i said, if the ps2 cant, i prolly wont need toe feature, i was just curious. VCD is only really popular in Asia i think. there are so many things the ps2 should have that it doesnt - the biggest thing: Vis FX, thhe psx had it, why not the ps2? heh/
