What formats can Playstation 2 play?

[Jon_Adams]

Quick question, does anyone know what formats a Playstation 2 can read?
e.g can they read MPEG 1 etc...

how many formats can they read?


Also......

If i wanted to back up a dvd of mine which happens to be about 6.5 Gigabytes in size!
How could i reduce that in size to burn onto a DVD 4.7 Gigabyte.
Then be able to play them on my Playstaion 2?

Thank you.

Thank you TAFFIO,

Thats valuble information and helps me a great deal, i shall put it to the test and let you know how i get on.

Just one thing i can not seem to find : Spruce DVD Maestro.

Any idea where i might find this software?

If you want to backup dvd movies, get dvdxcopy (www.dvdxcopy.com). It couldn't be any easier and takes a lot less time than the methods found at doom9 or anything else.

I agree with bighap that dvdxcopy is the best and easiest way to copy dvds , but jon_adams said he wanted it to fit onto a 4.7 gb dvdr. most dvds are dual layered and only fits onto 2 dvdr's.
and you might find spruce dvd maestro by typing spruce dvd into kazza;) not that i would do that.
