JPEG, AVI, etc?

Harro. Im rather glad I found this site, I hope I can find the answers Im looking for. :D Basically Im at a residential vocational school near the border of Canada, ie nowhere. My lovely girlfriend, now 8 hours away due to my relocation, is trying to send me some media to keep me warm at night, harr. :wink: My options are via PS2 and GBA.. and while the GBA option is already clear to me, PS2 sounds to be a more enjoyable measure, if possible.

So my question is! How would I go about transferring movie files generated by a digital camera (im assuming AVIDs) or JPEGs from the same source, to a CD.. that can be read by the PS2? If not JPEGs then the AVIDs. If I need to get ahold of a HDD I suppose its feasible, and that would be fine too. However, Im really aiming for just burning some junk to a CD and enjoying some hot goodness. Assuming I can get this done, I promise Ill share! Harr!! 'IS HE JOKING?'

:twisted: :D

Warning: I don't know what I'm talking about here.

If you have a DVD burner and some kind of video editing software, it seems to me like you could write a DVD-R or DVD+R, and play that on the PS2, just like any other DVD. I don't know if the PS2 has any problems reading these, I don't have a DVD burner.

Just a thought.

using a dvd video authoring package (as mharris mentions), should work great. I've done something similar with home movies before, albeit of a less pornographic nature ;)

HAHAHAHAHA!! Good one, mrbrown.

I make homemade DVDs on DVD-Rs all the time. They play fine on my 30K1 (v5) PS2. I also have the remote with the latest DVD player. Older PS2s may have problems playing DVD-Rs. Support for DVD-R was added in v4 or v5 if I remember correctly.

Use a good quality DVD-R. I like RiTech RiData G04s or ProDisc 4X DVD-Rs. Both work fine on my PS2 when written at 4X. I haven't had the chance to try 8X or DVD+R yet.

Thanks for the advice, err, is there any way to go about burning these without having to puchase a DVD-R? One of my friends friends supposedly did that, however I am not sure how accurate this information is. Honestly, I would just spend a bunch of time looking for this information online, but I have limited time to do so under my given circumstances. If anyone has done this, or even better, knows of a URL explaining this method, please share, eh?

Likewise with any other ideas that may come to mind.

Thankah much folkses. :D

Get an eyetoy and that webcam chat software. Is it released yet?

Anyway, then you can get some action in realtime.

How do you burn a DVD-R without a DVD burner? :?:

A Super Multi Writer will cost you $60 to $90 and burns DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, CDR, and CDRW. I just got the NEC ND-2510A. In addition to writing the above formats (in up to 8X speed), it also writes dual-layer. It was $72 at NewEgg.

I suppose you can burn DVD content onto CDRs. They usually call that CDVD. However, due to the tiny size of CDs (relatively speaking), you can only fit a few minutes onto them.

Dunno, just heard one of my buddies friends was writing DVDs before DVD-R was out. Perhaps its been out, and it just wasnt common, so my computer illiterate friend was merely confused. I also thought I happened across a site that was going to explain this method, but I put it into favorites and never went back, and since then have lost and forgotten the name of the site.

All bullshit aside though, buying a DVD-R sounds like a good thing. Praps Ill just save up some cash and have her buy one. Ill just steal it from her when I get outta here. Thats almost as soon as.. *checks the calendar* never, just around the corner. :)

Arr and whats this about Eyetoy and whatnot? A webcam designed for the PS2? Im afraid I wouldnt have access to any RJ-11/45 jacks in my room, or anywhere privately accessible to me.

Thanks for the advice folks! Ill hollar when Ive struck gold.

|and if anyone knows about burning DVDs without DVD-R.. harrr..|
