    I'm interested in playing movies from a hard drive with my Ps2, I just want the easiest way possible. If there is a way around a modchip, that would be great. I have Action Replay MAX and its media player, but it won't read form the hard drive. From what i've been told I would have to reformat and the 80 gig hard drive I want to use is full of movies and I really wouldn't like to lose them..Thanks for reading and for future info.!

    you will probably need a HD Loader / HD advance software.

    I have HDLoader and HDAdvance. I like HDLoader better, but i'm having problems because I have movies on my harddrive: avis, bin & cues, mpgs, but none of them will play. Does anyone have a easy to use media player that works? Thanks!

    have you tried this using an ISO file instead?
    since that is the format of PS2 games which HD Loader is
    able to play. Just an idea. Never loaded movies from a hard drive other than with my Xbox using XBMC.
    you would of course have to use a video conversion program to turn those files into ISO files.
