  1. sony has a new camcorder the DCR-DVD200 that records onto dvd and can be used with the home computer to record on dvd just like its a portable dvd burner. now it also says that " Playback on all home DVD players, computer DVD drives, and PlayStation 2 consoles cannot be guaranteed. Some players, drives, and video game consoles lack the ability to read due to the optical reflection standard of DVD-R/RW discs and/or due to encoding incompatibilities. Refer to the specifications of your playback equipment for additional compatibility information." what i get out of this is the burner was made to be compatable with the ps2 and must have some code in it that writes to the dvd so that it will boot in a ps2 and should work on games too . what so you experts out there think? sorry about the missleading title but i wanted to get alot of feedback. thanks. http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_DisplayProduc...ntentItemPage=

  2. I would have to say NO! because first of all, That camcorder writes to 3 inch DVD discs. thats one reason. the PS2 doesnt need any special BOOT code or modchips for Backup movies to play. that special BOOT code on PS2 games cannot be burned with any burner, except whatever sony uses to put that code on the discs. they are bad sectors of data. when a burner writes data it automaticly correct bad sectors, data bits, or whatever its called.
    and if that camcorder did do that, I would go out and buy one to make some big bucks selling bootable PS2 games
