Help: AVI --> VCD

[Smegasauorous]

I'm downloading some movies off of Direct Connect that are AVI format.
I edited one that i have and made it so it was under 80 minutes...
After that i opened a new VCD in Nero 5.0 and put that AVI under it.
After i hit burn it takes forever to encode this and then my computer freezes.
What i'm asking is: Will this cd work in my PS2 (if i can get my computer to not freeze and burn the damn thing)?
Last night i burnt an .mpg file to a VCD and it plays on my computers DVD player, but when i put the VCD in my PS2 it tells me to insert a compatible disk...
Can my PS2 not read burnt cds? Will my .AVI burn work on my PS2?

Please help!
Thanks

PS2 won't play a VCD disc. It will only play PS2 games and DVD movies (of the appropriate region). And PS2 won't read AVI files either (I know the stock models don't).
