Endless Paradigm

If i burn a selection of videos to a DVD as Data DVDs/CD's, can i play the files back, as they are, on a player that supports that format. Or are Data DVDs archival only?

Reason i ask is i can get alot more videos on a DVD that 120 minutes worth in data, but i want to be able to play is using SMS on my PS2

nope data dvds will do fine its basically like a harddrive except you cannot delete the files once written

If the player supports Data DVD/CDs then yes.
