I've read through a LOT of guides and posts (all greatly appreciated) but i still need one thing straightened out with avi files, i can make em from dvds fine, make vcds fine, but downloaded and somewhat compressed files i have and want to play on my dvd player/ playstation 2 just won't play. they are very small files (talking 300-600mb only) so i figure tmpgenc will take no time converting them, (read the guide for converting svi to vcd/ svcd) but none of the programs i have will recognise the avi when it comes to opening it for conversion. so just wanted to know if i'm missing something, i also heard that playstation 2 will play avi files is that right? i am a bummy student and dvd-burner is on my 'get list' for now i'm with cd-r only i know, get with the times....cheers
http://www.geocities.com/x7r3m3_b0mb3r/ps2reality.html there's even more to that than the guide up there. not all avi can play properly. settings of how it encoded...things like qpel, gmc etc will make it unplayable. i did a test, it plays, but it will get jittery. i'm not sure why totally, but it could be that its in 23.96fps, and no 3:2 pulldown tag ?
