inahandbasketso I got myself a dvd burner with my xmas money.
I'm burnin me a dvd, and it seems to be working. o_O
57% done, then I try it in the dvd player and see if it works.
la!
*edit*
done burning, 12 minutes for a dvd. not bad. now the test...
yay! works!
well, to be more precise, the burn worked. our main dvd player doesn't like it too much. freezes and skips, but my playstation2 plays it fine as a dvd, so the burn worked, which is the important part. :o)
in other materialistic news, I ended up keeping the leather jacket for a number of reasons, not the least of which was to please my mother cause she thinks I look cute in it.
I just gotta beat it in a bunch so that it feels worn, then maybe I won't feel so... stupid in it.

Date: 2003-12-31 08:39 pm (UTC)-R seems to work in most dvd playes that ive found. +R is just cheaper.
The thing that gets me...is the new dual version burners....do you have to choose which format or does it do it in both and how the hell does that work???
Im thinking about getting on eventually. Im sick of having to have 2 discs to get 4 episodes of anime. >_

Date: 2004-01-01 04:44 pm (UTC)It seems to work OK thus far, but I haven't made many based on what I say next:
Does any rewriteable media work in your PS2? It does not in mine. It will read CD-R, DVD+R, and DVD-R, but I've tried all flavors of rewriteables and it no work.

Date: 2004-01-01 05:52 pm (UTC)So how do i use this thing?

Date: 2004-01-02 12:16 am (UTC)Go into CDGENPS2
Add CDVD.IRX, MPLAYER.ELF, and SYSTEM.CNF to the thing.
Change the LBA of SYSTEM.CNF to 12231
add media
go.
I think it's supposed to work if you swap for a CD with different videos after loading the player, but I never tried it, so don't ask me.
Too bad I can't seem to get the DVD remote to be it's friend, either. Which I find strange, since it works with Gran Turismo, even.

Date: 2004-01-03 03:41 pm (UTC)Well, it definitely worked on mine.
Have you tried any other non-original disks?
no subject
Date: 2004-01-03 06:17 pm (UTC)weirdness.
Maybe I should try burning a game just to see if it's my disks maybe.

Date: 2004-01-03 10:59 pm (UTC)Were you putting the player on a CD or DVD?
I used a CD, don't know if it makes any difference.
What sorta chip you have? Swap needed?

and you need to use -R media if you want -R and +R if you want +R. different types of disk.
