I just bought a digital dvd camcorder. Why wont the dvd i recorded play in my ps2?

Question

I just bought a samsung dvd camcorder. And I recorded a movie on it. And it plays back on the camcorder. But when i try and play it in my ps2 it doesn't play back. I read the book and it says as long as you don't put the dvd in VR mode before you record that it will be able to play in most dvd players. We I DIDN'T put it in the VR mode. I thought maybe it doesn't play in the ps2 because it's a small dvd?? Any thoughts? I don't have a regular dvd player so i watch all my movies in my ps2!

Answer 1

Did you finalize it? Will it play in a TV's DVD player?

If you have a mini dvd camcorder….

You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer 's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (i downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.

Answer 2

Have you played the DVD on another DVD player??

Answer 3

Perhaps its not compatible with the PS2? I do realise its a little late now, but you should really have purchased a camcorder with a hard drive, rather than a DVD as the recording device. That way, you can just download it to your computer, like you do with your digital camera, then do what you like to it, including burn it to a DVD that would be compatible with any DVD player.

I'd sell your current cam corder before it looses value and get a hard drive one
