problems with playback on ps2

[atari_galaga]

i have made 3 different discs that wont play in my ps2.
1.authored and bunred with winavi
2. authored w/ win avi burned with nero
3.authored and burned with tmpgenc dvd author

not sure what ver but i bought it early 2001 and ive played a dvd-r and it played fine, but i cant seem to get one to work. the dvds ive burned work in regular dvd players. can anyone help me with this? also would they possibly work if i checked the force video compliance for xbox thing, or is that just for xbox?

Are you using DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD+RW media?

My PS2 will not play DVD+R, DVD-RW, nor DVD+RW media. But will play DVD-R and DVD+R with DVD-ROM booktype.

Can't say if Nero works for PS2 or not, I use either Primo DVD, or DVD Decrypter to burn my images. I have used TMPG to author and burn, which worked fine on my PS2s.

i am using dvd-r's

That's a puzzle.

I also do have problems with projects that use MPEG1 video, but use MPEG2 Menus.

Older PS2s, the first 2 versions, are very picky about which media you use, the newer PS2s have better lasers, and better compatibility. My PS2 does play Maxell and Taiyo Yuden media fine, but has problems with some other brands.

I'd try better/different media, or, since you say they work on other dvd players, don't worry about it

i only want them to play in the ps2 so i can watch them in my room. how much do apple dvd-r's cost. cos i know the one dvd-r i played was burnt on an apple.
