can the ps2 play vcd's?

[stonerdave]

title says all...

 

[Prismic]

nope

 

[pg22]

Yes, but you have to download the software from somewhere.

I don't see the point....the thing plays DVD's....

 

[mpg]

Yep, but NOT your normal vcd. You have to convert your .mpeg to a different format. I can't give you specifics because I never tried it.

 

[stonerdave]

this guy i know has a ton of them and asked me if it would work.

thanks for the respones, btw.

 

[pg22]

It's really not worth the effort.

 

[ManSnake]

ps2 is a not a good dvd player so why play vcd on it?

 

[stonerdave]

look, i think i made this pretty clear, i don't own a ps2, and don't plan on owning one in the near future. somebody just asked me, that's what i'll tell him. it's that simple.

 

[pg22]

Oh sure, and it's your *friend* who has the "problem"....

 

[Nerd]

You can play VCD's on dreamcast, right?

 

[dopcombo]

use your CD-ROM!!!
Windows Media player does it really well!!

 

[stonerdave]

okay, you kinda got me.

this is the hypothetical stonerdave, who may or may not purchase a ps2 when it falls below the $220 barrier. or when sega releases their arcade ports.

seems kind of time consuming. besides, the *guy* who has a "ton" only has about five

 

[aznmoshboy]

nope.

Just tried it, it says "Pleae enter a Playstation, or a Playstation 2 formatted disc".
