you got to get into re-encoding for that
to VCD or SVCD, and then you only get to play it on the dvd player
PS2 wont play em

Yes there is. Use WINavi or TMPGenc to convert the .avi files to .vob files and burn them with Nero to play on your DVD player.

Search this forum for guides - there are some great ones in MovieWorld - for the specifics, your question has been asked and answered many times.

Edit: I guess the guides are in the guide section now, not MovieWorld :doh:

Same here. I suppose the last time I encoded a movie to put on a CD was before I got a DVD burner. Now I don't even convert to .vobs that very often 'cause my DVD player is fine with .avis.

Technology makes ya lazy
