I want to burn a VCD with Nero,and then play it on my PS2. Anything I should know other than it needs to be an mpg or an avi?

VCD's need to be MPEG-1. Try VCDHELP.com.

They also have to be a certain resolution - can't remember what that resolution is off the top of my head, though.

I don't think your PS2 will play VCDs.

If it does, then let us know. I've never tried but have been told it wont.

A PS2 will NOT play VCD's. I've tried.

Does a PS2 or an XBOX play VCD's without having to buy an addon?
