I recently downloaded a few movies that are in rmvb format and I want to burn them onto vcds, does anyone know a free software that converts rmvb into mpeg? (my vcd burning software does not support rmvb)

Okay...
Why didn’t you just Google it like I did? Look what I found on the first page...

Thx Ralph, but now there is a new problem. I burned the VCD and tried to play it on my PS2, but it says that it’s not a ps2 or ps1 format disc, is there anyway to solve that?

The PS2 does not recognize the VCD format. But there are modchips or add-ons available like there were for the PS1.

I’ve heard that you can use PS2MediaPlayer (Google for it; it’s somewhere online). BUT you need to use some kind of boot method that comes with Action Replay Max called Media Creator. It can be installed in a memorycard in order to begin playing VCD and other filetypes on your PS2. I’ve read that you need your PS2 to be modded in order to run the Media Player.
If your PS2 isn’t modded, then you can also use SwapMagicFix to play VCD’s via PS2MediaPlayer.

Here are the supported formats of PS2MediaPlayer:

Video Mode:
— — — — — -
Video MPEG4-ISO (like XviD)
Audio MP3, OGG (mode 1, mode 1+), PCM and AC3

Audio and video should be in AVI format. (Don’t Work with OGM)

Audio Mode:
— — — — — -
Audio files : MP3 only.

Image Mode:
— — — — — -
Image files: JPG

Then, you would need the other stuff I mentioned above in order to play the extra file types.

Google for everything I’ve just mentioned and research it more because I don’t own a PS2 and have no intention of buying one to mod it.

Here’s a guide I found to something called PS2VCD-player:

I have no idea what it is, but save it for future reference. Do a Google search for that too if you’re curious enough.

Good luck!
