Best way to stream Netflix thru my LG Blue Ray DVD player?

best dvd players with streaming image

Curious In

I have an LG Blue Ray DVD player capable of streaming my Netflix from the PC. What is the best way to do this? Should I get a wireless router to send the signal to the DVD player? Does it cost more than my actual monthly subscription? Serious answers please...thanks!

Answer
Well, you should get a router regardless. It's the easiest way to share your internet connection between multiple devices. Using a router does not add to your internet fees.

Your LG blu-ray player can stream directly from Netflix - a PC is not required (other than to set up the account.) All Netflix subscriptions include unlimited streaming so if you already have a Netflix account you're all set there.

As for connecting the blu-ray player to the router, if it supports wireless, go ahead and use that. It'll be easier than having to run an ethernet cable from the player to your router.

Keep in mind that streaming movies is like downloading a very large file. If your ISP has monthly limitations on how much data you can download, use of Netflix streaming may cause you to go over. An average 90 minute movie will use between 1 to 3 GB of data.

Can I connect a Roku to my old TV through my old DVD player?

Touscents

This is mainly for Netflix streaming. I am not tech-savie. The TV is not in the same room as the computer, but I am thinking my wireless router means that I do not have to physically connect the Roku to the router. Would a Blue Ray DVD player that can stream Netflix be a better choice for me than a Roku?

Answer
The roku box does a lot more than you think so check them out before you buy. http://www.roku.com
A blu ray that connects to the internet will give you Netflix and maybe 3 other apps. Look at what you get before you buy. Each brand gives you some different apps. However, you will be able to play your old dvds in the blu ray and have a better picture.
One thing of caution, in order to go wireless, some blu rays require a wireless lan adapter that can add $70 to the cost. Sony has a built in antenna.
Also, your speed is crucial to getting good results with Netflix. The higher the better but it has to be above 2 mbps. The further your modem is away from the blu ray the more your wireless signal can drop and it's subject to interference from cell phones, cordless phones and any wireless device.

How to hook up a magnavox dvd/vhs player to a sylvania tv?

best dvd vhs players image

Karr

I have a magnavox dvd/vhs player along with a sylvania 20in flat screen tv.

How do I hook it up?

Answer
It should have come with three coloured 'RCA' Wires.

The colour does not matter as long as one plugs into the "video output" via the DVD player and into the "AV video input on the TV"

The other two would be stereo connectors and should be connected in the same manner in the speaker ports.

Power up and away you go

I have a sansui dvd/vhs player/recorder and the remote wont work, Can I buy a universal remote to make it work?

Olivia

This sansui dvd/vhs player/ recorder is over 10 yrs old but I mainly use it to play dvds but all of a sudden the remote has been acting weird. I put new batteries in and it started to work fine but now it wont even work. The player works fine but the remote doesn't. Can I buy a universal remote to make it work?

Answer
You can, but you will likely lose some functions. I have a Phillips universal remote that was much easier to set up than others that I've used. I can't find a model number or part number on it. It was $14.95 at CVS. It automatically searches for the appropriate codes.

I shoot some video at Christmas time of my granddaughter using my D5000. I've been told that if I burn it to a DVD, that the DVD will only play in the computer it was created on? I've also been told that I can't ever edit the video once it's on the DVD. Any advice on this would be appreciated!
Edit: I know, shot not shoot!

Answer
If you wanna make a DVD that will work on a standard DVD player, you will need a DVD burning tool to do this. Just copy the movie to a DVD disc, it will actually not read by DVD players.

The best and most reliable DVD burning tool that I've ever used is a tool called DVD Creator. It's able to burn all kinds of videos to DVD disc. After that, you can view the DVD on DVD player. It also lets you edit videos and create DVD menus. Easy to use and professional.

You should really give it a try. You may check out at:

I have a 46" Sony Bravia and the picture is really grainy and pixalated?

best upscaling dvd player 1080p image

idkk

I bought a 46" Sony Bravia and at the store the quality seemed amazing but when I play a DVD with my upscaling dvd player the picture seems to be grainy...no matter what setting that I try..what can I do ?

Answer
So your picture quality depends on a few things:
1) Your TV
2) Your source material [this case your upscaling DVD player]
3) cables

You have a good TV, and the upscaling DVD player probably does 720p or 1080i, which is enough if you only have a 720p set. With 1080p it'd still probably be pretty good.

With that in mind, I believe your problem is the cables. Are you using high definition cables? You'll need either component cables or a HDMI cable. If you're using composite (yellow/red/white) or s-video, you're only getting a standard definition picture sent to your TV.

If you buy a cable, you don't have to get the super expensive ones, just check them out at some place like www.monoprice.com. You can get them for considerably cheaper there, and the quality is almost the same. With expensive in-store cables, more than 50% of the price is the markup. So those $100 cables you see get sold to employees for like $20.

What type of dvd player would work best for a tv that is already a widescreen?

fajita_chi

I am looking to buy a dvd player for my parents and they purchase d a wide screen tv so when you play dvds or watch tv it tends to stretch out the picture. Is there a dvd player that takes this into account or does it matter?

Answer
There is a common misperception that the screen should be full. Not so. While it is nice when it happens only material at the same aspect aratio (width to height ratio) as the screen you are watching will fill the screen ... everything else will have black bars on the top and bottom or the sides (unless the image is stretched or zoomed ... but that distorts or throws away some of the picture).

The director of a film chooses the aspect ratio, and it can vary from 1.33:1 to over 2.7:1 in extreme wideangle films. The most common are 1.78:1 (so called "16:9" -- the aspect ratio of "widescreen" TVs), 1.85:1 and 2.35:1, but others exist too.

See the image at the link to see how these aspect ratios relate on a constant width screen.

TVs often have a control that allows images to be zoomed or stretched to fit the screen ... as stated above this is distortion and most people, after playing with the different settings for a while, return to a straight undistorted image setting.

A widescreen TV will "fit" more programming (particularly if they subscribe to HD programming, which is in widescreen (16:9) format) than their old style TV (Which was 4:3 or 1.33:1 format) BUT they will still see black bars on some movies, particularly on DVD (Note: TV broadcast stations sometimes crop widescreen movies to "fit" the 16:9 screen ... and you can't control this, but the same movie on DVD might have bars).

So ... no, you don't need to buy a different DVD player for widescreen since the basic aspect ratio is determined by the movie, not the player. Maybe the above explanation will help you explain it to your parents.

If buying a DVD player for a 720p or 1080p HDTV, consider a $100-$125 (less expensive ones won't provide any benefit) "upscaling DVD player" (with a HDMI connector) or if you want to go full out, consider the Venture HD DVD player from Walmart ($200) ... which is really a Toshiba HD-A3 player (a good upscaler and it plays HD DVDs).

Hope this helps.

Where can I find a cheap dvd player that has region free hacks available?

best dvd player region free image

Amanda

For my birthday I got a ton of great dvds that I've wanted forever... sadly, they are region 2 dvds. (There was no way they could be found in Region 1, we looked EVERYWHERE.) Unfortunately my dvd player doesn't have any region free hacks. Everyone has been telling me how easy it is to just buy some cheap dvd player and turn it region free. Well, I can't find any!!
Does anyone know where I can find a reasonably cheap (under $70) dvd player that has region free hacks available?

Thanks!

P.S. If someone can show me a link to where I can buy one online that would be great, but I don't mind trekking to get it. (I live in Ottawa, so it has to be a Canadian store if it's not available online.)

Answer
Make a note of what models are available at local stores, like. Walmart, Canadian Tire, Superstore (Loblaws?). Then check for that model at http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks (or just google the model number and region free).

However, I think the best solution is to make a copy of the DVD, since that removes the region encoding altogether. Then you can play the DVD on any player, not just the region-free one. If you really have a ton of DVDs, this may not be practical.

Where can I buy a reasonably priced region free dvd player?

Johnny

I'm looking to get some "region 3" DVDs, but I need a dvd player that is region free, and able to play on my TV's without any type of converters... Do you have any suggestions on where to buy and a good model and good price?

Answer
First see what models brands/model number the local store is selling. Then go to www.videohelp.com and look up those models under Hacks in the column on the left. Many players can be made regionfree with a code entered from the remote control.

I found mine by going to walmart.com, checking the models I could pick up in the store against www.videohelp.com, and bought a Philips player for about $30. Entered the code I found and have no problem playiing any region dvd.

Will wireless headphones work with my portable DVD player?

best portable dvd player to buy image

Alex P

I have a portable dvd player we keep in the car to watch movies on. It has a remote control so I guess it has an IR (infrared) receiver. Can I just buy a set of wireless headphones that use the IR system and it will automatically connect? If they do work, will the signal be okay and uninterrupted like with other waves? Thanks!

Answer
No, unless stated by your Portable DVD player, the IR receiver can only RECEIVE IR signals and not send them. Also, as far as I know, there are not IR wireless headphones.

What you may want is wireless headphones that plugs into the 3.5mm jack (headphones slot).

Not to the player itself. The most you can do is get one of those Android TV or other media boxes, and connect that to the A/V in on the player. You need to arrange power and an input device.

The least is to just get a tablet, using it for anything that is not playing CDs or DVDs.

Can DVD players scratch DVDs, or does it only happen from people abusing the discs?

best dvd players in 2012 image

I love pig

I have a new magnavox dvd player manufactured 2012, so would that scratch the discs or do they only get scratched from careless people?
I always hold discs by the edges and keep them in the case or the dvd player.

Answer
It might but dvds can get scratched by those careless people, may happen more but people should take care of dvds and good for you for doing so and so do I. I keep a movie in the dvd player, until I am done with it, and I put back in the case or envelope say for a movie that I rented from Netflix, and a lot of dvds that I get have scratches on it, even from people that didn't take as good care of it, cause you never know who rented it before, or even after you. But for sure rented dvds for sure you should use them with care, otherwise it wouldn't work as it should.

If i bought a region 1 dvd player will i be able to play it on my tv in the uk?

Tomoya

there are certain programs on DVDs that are only on region 1 types,so i have to buy a region 1 dvd player.

Answer
Believe it or not that is a tricky question and here's why:

DVD players are typically sold to play DVDs by region code and usually only sold in the region prevalent to the standard. However, there are several players on the market that are known as "multi-region" capable and have the ability to play any region format. Likewise some are even capable of software upgrading to the region it resides in (mostly internet capable and blu-ray at that) Simple enough....

Here's the tricky part (and in laymens terms as best I can describe) depending on the DVD being played, it may ONLY recognize a region "x" and not a multi region player. Additionally, and where most problems occur, is the modulation (the video signal being pumped out) can vary WILDLY from country to country. We use ATSC and NTSC in the US, however many foreign countries use PAL and SEACAM standards (read on for WHY). Additionally the power supply of the DVD player may not support the voltage FREQUENCY of the country intended for use. We use a 60Hz 120V based system in the US but many countries outside the US may use a 50Hz 220V system- most of the power adapters available may change the VOLTAGE but do nothing for the FREQUENCY.

Long story short and a pretty common occurrence:

You may have a multi region DVD player with a Radio Shack 20 dollar power adapter thinking all is well, but when you arrive- SURPRISE!! Your picture has a nifty white bar rolling through it and that's assuming you found an actual compatible connection on the back of the TV you're using!

My suggestion: don't bother taking it. Buy a NEW one when you get there (they're basically disposable nowadays). OR better yet, buy an iPad or a Android Tablet BOTH capable of playing overseas by way of flipping a switch in the settings- and load your favorites for WHEREVER you go!

Which is the latest and value for money Music System available in India in the price range of 15 to 20 K Rs ?

Dhruv S

Sound quality/fidelity is the main thing I am looking for and not the great features.

Answer
Depends, what are your preferences.

WOuld you like to have a plane CD player or a cassette player or combined.

Well, there is one by Sony, in the home theatre range, it is a DVD/VCD/AVD/MP3 disk player with good sound. But it doesn't have any cassette option in it. The sound is good.

YOu can also try AIWA, but the sound quality isn't so good.

I think the best would be, but an amplifier, good speakers and attach a CD player to it. Onkyo has a good amplifier and speaker combined offer for I think 19000/- Rs. Check that.

Why don't you just go and explore the varios showrooms and check the sound quality for yourself.

What resolution should i set my upconverting dvd player to?

best dvd player for the money image

Matty A

I just bought a Philips DVP5990 upconverting dvd player, and i have a sharp 32" 720p hdtv. The player is hooked to the tv via hdmi. What resolution should i set it to? The obvious answer seems to be 720p, but the 480p looks better. Is it something i've done wrong or what? I know its a bit of an awkward question but i could take any help i can get.

Answer
You may have answered your own question.

In theory, as you note, 720p should be best, but there is really no way to predict ... you have to try different settings.

The problem is that there are various video manipulations involved and some scaller/video processor chips do a better job than others.

For example, if you set the DVD player to 480p output, your HDTV upconverts the progressive signal to fit the native resolution of your HDTV (i.e. 720p). If you set the DVD player to 720p or 1080i (for example), the HDTV processes this accordingly. 1080i is converted to 720p and the 720p signal is used direct.

So, depending on the relative quality of the DVD or HDTV scalers/video processors you get better or worse results.

That said, you don't say what connection type you are using and that can matter. Ideally upconverting DVD players should be connected via HDMI since on some models component is only outputting 480p, not 720p or higher, despite menu settings. And you can't get anything higher than 480 from composite or S-video.

If you are connected via HDMI, and 480p output works best in means the processor in the TV is better than that in the DVD player (and essentially you wasted your money .... not uncommon since budget upconverters rarely work well). On the other hand, if you are connected via component, composite or S-video try HDMI (you don't need to spend more than $10-$15 for a cable ... expensive HDMI cables are a rip-off).

Hope that helps.

What type of format does my dvd player need to accept?

I need a new dvd player. However, before I buy one I need to be sure that it will play the mini dvd's that my camcorder makes. What format do I have to look for on the specs?

Answer
i think almost any dvd players of today are able to play mini dvds. try checking your pc dvd drive for example, do you see a small circular spot in the middle of the disc tray? if you can find that in a disc tray of a regular dvd player, that means it can play mini dvds. your camcorder formats a recorded video to play on a dvd player, so it should be ok.

Can you use headphones with a DVD player, but others can still hear the sound without headphones?

Jane H

I have never had a DVD player before, but have a hearing problem and would like to be able to use headphones to hear the speech in movies, but still let others in the room hear the dialogue without headphones.

Answer
Most DVD players come with a digital output for surround sound, and a stereo output, usually for connecting to your TV.

So, you can leave the DVD player connected to your surround sound system with the digital connection, and then connect your head phones to the stereo output (it's the red & white ports)

If you need an adapter, go to Radio Shack. They also sell a wireless headset, which would be nice in your situation so you don't have cables dangling all over the room.

If you're already using the red/white audio cables to connect to your TV, you can get a Y-cable connector, again from Radio Shack, and then connect one set to the TV, and one to your headphone.

Radio Shack usually has these little bits and pieces at good prices, but really, any electronics store should have these things too.

how can i connect pc and dvd player into auxiliary?

Ok, so I have a stereo which I usually use my auxiliary on when I watch movies, or want to listen to music from my laptop. Is there anything out there in which i can plug BOTH my dvd player and my pc into the ONE auxiliary port on my stereo? I don't want to keep switching the audio video components whenever I use one or the other.

Answer
get a headphone splitter - so u can plug both ur pc and dvd into the newly bought splitter 0 then plug the back of the splitter into the aux port.

something simple like the ebay item i put the link too should do the trick... just gotta make sure u dont have both on at once otherwise the sound will be distorted.

Is it possible to connect the AV cord of Home theatre to PC?

Rajesh S

Is it possible to connect the AV cord of Home theatre or DVD Player to PC so that video signals of the player may be viewed on the computer moniter? Do modern Mother boards have TV Tuner Cards in them?

Answer
Yes, but more so... Video cards and Video capture cards.

I'm not an expert on video capture. I'm better at PC to home theater transfer not vise versa.

However it is very possible and I'm sure people below me will explain.

Good luck

More (home theater questions)? Just e-mail me. I have owned a home theater business.
