Need to know, i want to buy my younger cousin some movies that are on VCDs, will they work on his PS2?

Sorry no vcds work on the PS2!
Next time just do a search for 'vcd'. As there are loads of posts that cover this topic and plus the mods don't like these questions posted over and over.

Actually he couldn't do a search for VCD (as it's only a 3 letter word...)
but Cruz you could have checked the FAQ;)

yes yes my bad, i did do the search and as konga pointed out it gave that error. The faq list is soooooooooo long.....enough said.

thanks guys

You can run them on a Dreamcast but you need a certain boot disk and they run a bit slow, if thats of any use to you.

There is a tutorial on how to make short clips to work on ps2, and I think that if you make some miner changes.... it might make a vcd that will work on ps2...
I havent tried that yet because i dont have cds at the moment........

Look I'll give you some advice, just buy a cheap dvd player such as : Apex or something


they only cost around $60-$80

Just make sure its MP3 Compatible, if its MP3 compatible then it will play VCD's Fine!

i just watched austin powers "goldmember" on the ps2, it was on dvdr and the quality was crap (probally vcd) so somebody has managed it !

OR u could just buy a real vcd player i got an apex 1100 from walmart for only like $68 ..plays all the great

no that was on dvdr not cd so you payed probley £10 for it when it would of cost you £4 to see it and just stick a camera on your back lol

the cd vcd has just been converted in format and burnt onto dvd vcd

pointless untill dvd become cheaper

Closing this because the question has been asked many times and answered just once or twice.....
