I tried asking for help at a very general dvd sites, but people didn't seem to know the PS2 well enough to solve my problem. I'm hoping you guys can help me out.
Basically, I have some old divx videos (some anime stuff, some captured home movies) that I'd like to be able to put onto a dvd and watch on my ps 2. I converted the divx stuff to MPEG using TMPGEnc 2.510.49.157, then I used Sonic MyDvd to make a menu so that I can select each of the 7 short videos seperately and burned it. It works perfectly on my computer, but of course I get the classic "Disc Read Error" when I pop it on my PS2. I've tried using (Ritek) Dvd-r and Dvd+r discs. Neither format works.
Of course, the question is, how do I get this to work? I've heard all sorts of things ranging from PS2 can't play any burned Dvds that have menus to the first version of the PS2 can't play any backups. Some say you should use Dvd-r and a few say you should use Dvd+r media. I'm really confused at this point.
Any information would be helpful. My PS is a PT1133 (I believe that is a very old version). I just want to be able to put captured video onto a dvd and play it on my PS2, so if the menu thing is the problem, is there any kind of workaround if you have multiple short videos (I.e. being able to set skip foward to next video?) I've been at this for a bit, but I'm still pretty n00b. Please point me in the right direction
Someone later informed me that Sonic MyDvd might be the problem, so I tried using a trial version of Ulead Dvd MovieFactory, but it still didn't work.
