My grandson has a older playstation two in his room and I was using DVDshink three bata and copy to dvd to make backup of his movies for him. They would not work on the playstation two model scph 30001 no matter what disk I used. I also have anydvd and clonedvd and I found that if I burned them with those two programs they worked in the older playstation. I then tried one that was authored with anydvd and copyied it with copytodvd and it also worked. I then compared the two author folders on my hardrive and found that the one that worked authored with anydvd had limited the files over the 1gbit limit. I went back to dvdshrink and set the option to 1gbit and then reburned a cd with copytodvd and they worked also on the older playstation. Just thought I would pass on this info. Set the 1gbit option in DVD shink if you are burning for playstation two.

This really doesn't have much to do with authoring, and the 1 GB limit is a standard that should be followed. I've never seen a DVD with a file over 1 GB and can imagine that errors would occur if this limit was exceeded.

your right I was not Reauthoring most of them just ripping them and shrinking them. I had unchecked the 1gb VOB limit in dvdshrink after the first one I had burned since I did not see why I should set the limit to 1gb. I quess that was a mistake as for as playstation is concerned. I had post a few weeks back about my problem with them not working with playstation and someone was nice enough to get back to me sending me to a post on problems with playing on playstations twos. It did not say anything about the 1gb limit and I am one that thinks it is always nice for people to get back when they find out something that works. Most people post of forums there problems then never get back to say if what someone told them worked or if they found a fix. Sharing fixes is more important to me than posting problems.

I would assume from your post I should have left the 1gb checked in DVDshink which I have done.
