Hacking Play DVDs on RVL-101 without ModChip?

Hey, speak for yourself

Umm, no? We’re deep into the 4K era, 480p is not really something anyone should be chasing at this point.

I have zero interest in bigger file sizes and increased processing power requirements for quality gains of questionable personal value, sorry

480p Mpeg 2 DVDs range between 4.7gb DVD 5 to 8.7gb DVD 9. H264 720p encodes of movies are going to be the same size or smaller. H265 1080p encodes of movies are going to be smaller still. Please, learn what you are talking about.

The difference in quality is night and day. There's a reason the whole world moved on from 480p.

Doesn't mean I care about it, right?

New codecs use less space, sure; but the added pixels of course reduce the gains - and newer codecs limit my choice of hardware (due to increased processing power - in fact h264 hardwae acceleration cards started becoming a thing on the late 2000s netbooks)

Yes, I do still encode mpeg-4 part 2 ("Xvid") to watch on PS2!

And just to add a joke to this off-topic post: if in common parliance a pedophile is someone who rapes children, what does a videophile do?

You're still largely spouting nonsense. 'The added pixels of course reduce the gains' - what? Even a horrid 720p encode is miles and miles above MPEG 2 480p. No one cares about your 'choice of hardware' - anything from this decade can handle H264, all the way down to a virtually free Raspberry Pi.

You shouldn't be watching on a PS2. That's just weirdo stuff. GBAtemp isn't a support site for quasi-ritualistic video watching stuff. Burning a DVD to watch in a 19 year old console is just absolute madness.

It's a console enthusiast (with a focus on modding) website, and last time I checked, being able to do what I choose to do on them (as opposed as what someone else thinks I should do on them) is the ultimate exercise in freedom, innit?

You come off as having an interest in pushing new technology to people who don't care, though...

It's not a fetishist site. Watching 480p movies on a PS2 is fetishist, ritualist stuff. This isn't the place.

Why do you think it shouldn't be?
