So does that mean I burn it on a dvd disk?
Or can I watch it with WIN DVD or something like that?
Help me out please! I just got 5 movies and they are all KVCDs!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a way to change them to mpeg or avis???

PLEASE HELP! As I only have a playstaion 2, no dvd player.... some cables I plug in to my tv from my computer to watch it on a big screen!

you dont need to burn it onto a dvd disk.
you can watch it with windvd.
you do not need to change the format.
in windvd or videolan, simply find the .mpeg file which is in the directory MPEG.

I odn't understand
if you installed videolan
as soon as you open it, can't you see the button you check to pick VCD ?
should start playing, at most you will have to tell it witch drive your VCD/svcd is ?

No there was many folders! Some saying dat and some saying something else!
Their was no Mpg files in any of the folders.....
I got the movie from suprnova.org... the movie is The Rundown, also got secondhand lions and Matrix 3 and all of them are KVCD! WHat the hell is KVCD :unsure: I have both the programs and I am a biginner... bad speller but usually can work two simple programs... :D
So maybe I have just burned them wrong or something else... ;)

no you don't get it

when you open video lan click the disc icon (the second icon right after the folder icon!), then it will play your vcd/svcd


heres a step by step

what part don't you get

if you still can't get it, opening the dat will play the same vcd
good luck to you

Seeing as you've burned them on cd why dont you put the cd in the dvd player and watch it on your tv.

Kvcd is a modification to Gop strutures and matrixes to allow 120 mins or more to be put on a single disc at DVD quality.

ps2 can't play kvcd/svcd or even vcd thats why :rolleyes:

now if he had a mod chip he might be able to play some vcd's but unsure of the bitrates that ps2 support, I remember them being picky when I read about a program that streams movies to your ps2 via a lan conection

Hey thanks guys!! :D
I can now see how they work!
Is their anyway to change them to AVI or MPG files??
If so that would be great.

all vcd's are already mpeg :blink:

you can use vcdgear to pull out the mpeg on the vcd (or svcd)
if you want to encode it to avi, you need to get virtual dub and encode it
