Where Can I buy a spare battery for my TruTech PVS12701 Portable DVD Player?

best dvd players under $100 image

HENRY M

I have a Tru tech Portable DVD player and the battery is starting to wear out ,Cant play more than a hour.I need to get a replacemrnt. Is there a website that I can go to do buy this replacement battery

Answer
I don't know where to find a replacement battery for that portable DVD player. I even tried to find it on google and no luck. If your portable DVD player is under a year old, you might be covered for warranty. If it's older than that and you don't have a warranty extension, then you should just look for a new portable DVD player. They are under $100 now. http://www.walmart.com/search/browse-ng.do?ic=24_0&ref=125875.129742&fromPageCatId=62055&catNavId=62055

Is it possible to simply replace the drive in my home DVD player instead of buying a whole new player?

kevinwill1

I'm wanting to make an old Magnavox DVD player capable of playing DL+ discs, but I don't want to go to the expense of buying a whole new (and potentially expensive) player if I don't have to.

Answer
I am a Regional Service Manager for Philips/Magnavox and even if you replaced the DVD drive internally, you wouldn't change its compatibility with different disc formats. All DVD players have the POTENTIAL to play ANY format, but it is the firmware inside the player and hardware that determines weather or not it WILL play any format. At this point, with the cost of players having fallen the way it has, just pick up something like a new Magnavox MRV645 DVD RECORDER for under $150, or a good newer player that in addition to playing +disc's will also play -discs, and Divx encoded discs, MP3 and Picture Discs, etc... for under $100.

Hope this helps!

best portable dvd player car image

nina bo bi

We need a portable dvd player for our road trip.
Where can I get one that is really good with a decent price, not tooooo much money but not cheap and crappy? What kind and where?

We need one that has really great sound so we can both hear it in the car.
We also need to know of any that come with a car charger or where we can get one for it?
THANKS!

Answer
I hear you about the cheap ones, they last for a year or so maybe. Go with a name brand like Sony. The Sony DVP-FX930 9-Inch Portable DVD Player has great reviews on Amazon and CNET. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TCJI7E?ie=UTF8&tag=howtobecafir-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001TCJI7E

How to burn movies for home dvd players?

best dvd player on windows image

Answer

Can I make a slideshow on windows movie maker to show on a dvd player?

misa

I made a slide show for my friends on Windows Movie Maker, but it can only show on the computer. How do I get it to play on a DVD player?

Answer
You need to be sure that you've saved your project as a movie file then use Windows DVD Maker to create a DVD you can play on DVD players. You'll find Windows DVD Maker at: Start>All Programs>Windows DVD Maker (unless you have Windows XP which can't burn DVDs - unless you've add an external DVD burner and DVD burning software - and which doesn't have Windows DVD Maker.)

Windows DVD Maker let's you add a menu to the beginning of your DVD but it's optional so, if you don't want a menu, you don't have to have one.

Can you attach a DVD player to a computer to play movies?

best dvd player computer image

rae-ann

My CD/DVD player stopped working on my computer (I can't even open the drives anymore).

I have a spare, small DVD player that used to be attached to my TV.

Can you attach a DVD player to a computer in order to play movies on your computer? Or do they only work with TVs?

I realize you probably can't burn things, but I thought just for movies. It would be cheaper than having to buy another external piece for the computer.

Thanks!

Answer
You can if your computer has a TV tuner or video capture card (with the necessary audio and video inputs). Otherwise you can't. Internal DVD drives aren't that expensive anymore, so I'd recommend just buying a replacement.

What is the best blu-ray player to get without apps?

best 3d dvd player review image

Jennifer

I am looking to get a blu-ray player just to play Blu-Ray and DVD discs. I am not looking for anything with apps. I just want to get my money's worth for a good, solid Blu-Ray player? What kind should I go for and why? Also, what retailer should I get it from?

Answer
Probably the Panasonic DMP-BDT 110, would be the way to go, due to the reviews that say it has good video quality compared to other players in its price range... what your going to find though is that the higher end players have better video, plus apps, this is just the way Blu Ray players are marketed, higher end players have better chips; more memory; and more apps lower end players have less apps less memory and lower end chips as a general rule...but also newer blu ray players preform better than the older model blu ray players of just a few years ago and this is especially true of the entry level line players mostly due to trickle down technology yesteryears high quality chip is now in todays economy line and the high end player has a newer chip, sometimes though the only difference is that the newer chip can do 3D and uses less electricity than the older chip so video quality on say DVD or 2D blu ray may be just as good.......a good place to buy is Amazon dot com

Which is the best quality of Lord of the Rings home video available?

aditya

Is Bluray the highest quality I can get? I want to watch the Lord of The Rings trilogy at home, in the highest quality possible. Which is the device/format that can the ensure the highest quality experience?

Answer
At the present time if you want to obtain the maximum video picture quality you should purchase The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy - Extended Editions on Blu-ray Disc.

A little supplemental information that may be worth your consideration: Blu-ray Disc provides a good starting point for those who want (and can afford) the ultimate large-screen video system. Such a system would consist of a high performance Blu-ray Disc player, e.g. the Oppo BDP-103 Universal Network 3D Blu-ray Disc Player, paired with a next-generation Full 4K monitor or better yet a Full 4K projection system such as Sonyâs VPL-VW1000ES 4K Home Theater Projector and a 120- to 150-inch projection screen. Both the Oppo BDP-103 and the Sony VPL-VW1000ES provide Full-HD-to-Full-4K upscaling allowing one to obtain the highest picture resolution currently available to consumers. And to further make the case for Blu-ray Disc is that it is much easier for a video processor to upscale native 1080p (Full HD) video content to 4K than would be the case with 480i (DVD-Video) or even 720p video content.

Quoting Sonyâs white paper on their VPL-VW1000ES projector: âThe VPL-VW1000ES projector can upscale 2K and HD signals with an adaptive super resolution algorithm that approaches the quality of a native 4K signal. Compared to native 2K display, the upscaled picture is considerably smoother.â

How to convert wnv to dvd file?

asher wood

I downloaded a video from Amazon and it came as a wmv file. I want to play this video on my DVD player but how? and I'm running ubuntu (linux) but downloaded the video with a windows machine help?

Answer
Amazing how many answers don't pick up on the fact that you use Linux.
THE easiest way to do this on whatever computer you are on is to use the online media converter to save the file as a VOB file. You DVD will be able to read the VOB files

DVD players can often also read xVid, DivX, MPG and AVI files...just save these files on a DVD and your player should be able to find what it needs.

If you don't like things easy and want to show how clever you are then use the command line using mencoder and ffmpeg

e.g. Convert a file called video.wmv from wmv to avi from the command line...
mencoder video.wmv -ofps 23.976 -ovc lavc -oac copy -o video.avi

e.g. convert a file called video.avi to play on an NTSC dvd player
ffmpeg -i video.avi -target ntsc-dvd /tmp/dvd.mpg

Will video quality transmitted from HDMI to VGA suffer?

best ceiling mount dvd players image

Mechazawa

I'm wanting to connect a dvd player(hdmi) to a ceiling mounted projector(vga). Will the conversion degrade the quality of the picture? The two devices are about 30 feet apart, so I figure, get the shortest hdmi cable I can, connect it to the conversion box and run the rest of the length with vga. Would this length deteriorate the signal?

Answer
It will work, but why don't you just use the component output to VGA? No conversion, no loss of quality.

Or what I'd do is use a video compensator just AFTER the switch and before the run to the projector....

Can a PC DVD player stop working from playing too many movies?

best dvd player pc image

My DVD player on my PC has stpped working and if I put a disc in it makes a WIERD kind of noise. I watch 3 to 4 movies on it a day. Is it cuz of that? What can I do to stop it? help please

Answer
It's possible. Every product has a certain lifespan and if you use it a lot, it may break. If you have a desktop computer, replacing the disk drive is pretty inexpensive. If you have a friend that can do it for free, the drive wont cost much more than $30. If you have a laptop computer, it is a little trickier and costs more. If your computer is still under warranty, I would check into it. If it's making a weird grinding noise, then your drive is probably broken.

Why does my music CD Play in DVD player but not in PC CD-ROM?

Ron

The question pretty much describes it... I have a Music CD with lots of great music on it. The problem is, a small portion of the "silver stuff" is ripped off. However, the CD Plays perfectly in the DVD player. But my PC doesn't recognize it at all, so I can't rip the songs off of the disc. Any ideas on how I can get the songs off of the CD?

Answer
Find a computer with a DVD player. Test other CDs on your computer to make sure it's not your player? Also, did you burn it/have someone burn it, or did you buy it. If you bought a CD you should go to piratebay.com and download a backup of it from there.

We bought a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country and we chose the Limited. I see other people don't go for the top of the line model. It's not that their credit is bad, but they just don't want It. Why.

They probably don't want to pay the extra money for features and options they feel than can do without, or simply don't need -- and save money in the process. It's things like heated seats, DVD player, nav system, high power sound system, wood on the steering wheel, and napa leather trimmed seats.

What are your thoughts on the soon discontinuation of the cd format for music?

Q. They say this is going to be implemented in 2013. I really hope that will not happen.

Answer
its total bullshit. its not the same as when people switched from cassettes to cds or vhs to dvd. many people dont have a computer, internet, credit cards, or even the knowledge to purchase music digitally. and heres a good benefit with cds, you can listen to it through several different types of players (cd players, dvd players, ps3, etc.) and with a computer you can copy all of the tracks. therefore, you have the tracks digitally and a hard copy. i know how much technology is moving up but i still dont think its the right time to switch. we should just have digital everything, work, school, clothes, food, batharooms, i mean everything. like half of America is lazy and obese anyways, so why not?

Which DVD Player brand is the most durable?

5 best dvd players image

mrwsm

I have gone through 5 DVD players. They just do not last. I decided never to buy the cheap no name DVD players anymore, but now the more expensive name brand players are breaking also. Looking for a DVD player brand that people have found to be bullet proof.

Answer
I like Panasonic and Pioneer. Denon is good too. Most of the big name brands will be good.
Denon has great electronics inside. They use excellent Digital to analog converter chips and video and audio processor circuitry.

Denon actually uses or at least has used pioneer mechanicals(also known as transport mechanisms) in their players. McIntosh audio a very high end manufacturer of audio components (not to be confused with Apple) has also used Pioneer transport mechanisms in their cd and dvd players.
I have 2 Panasonic players, one is 7 years old. I still use it on my old tv it works great. The movement of the tray is nice, quiet and smooth. My Toshiba is not as nice it seems a bit clunky.

What is the order of installation for HDTV-set top box-DVD/VHS recorder?

neonlighti

I have to use componet jacks for the HD signals - the problem is that I can only recieve basic cable channels on the dvd.vhs player/recorder - I want to be able to recieve all the channels on my set top box on my dvd/vhs player/recorder also

Answer
Looks like your only option is to split the component signal out from your set top box to the TV and the recorder, then connect the output from your recorder to your TV for playback.

Another bummer: your recording and TV viewing options are limited to what your set-top box is set to at the moment, unless you split the coax signal to your set-top box and recorder and make sure you only record your basic analog cable channel while watching your digital or HDTV channel at the same time.

Hicktown g

I have some movies for the kids on the DVR, and I wanted to be able to put them on a DVD so they can watch them in their room, but my Sony DVD player/recorder displays a message that the movie is copy written.

I've tried to hook the dvd player up a different way to the cable box, to route the signal, but then the dvd player won't get the digital tuner channels which I need.

Any ideas?

Answer
If your TV has outputs try hooking it up that way. The only way I could think of is to hook it up sat out to dvd in. And then dvd out to TV in, but you may have tried that.

Should I return my recently purchased HD DVD player and buy a much cheaper DVD upconverter instead?

Nick K

Is it worth the money to keep the HD DVD player? Doesn't it do the same function as an upconverter? Please correct me if I am wrong and tell me why it is so much better to have the HD DVD player.

Answer
Depends what you paid for it (and assumes you CAN return it) and what matters to you.

First, consider whether you can really benefit from HD DVD (or Blu-ray which gives identical audio and video quality). Basically you need a moderate to large HDTV .. say 40" or so and preferably 1080p. You also need to watch from a suitable distance (say, 1.5 - 3X screen size. lower number if a 1080p and higher if 720p). You also need an HDMI connection.

As an aside, I have an HD DVD player and don't find a sufficient improvement from HD disks to justify buying them, but I have kept the player for reasons that may become evident as you read on.

There are relatively few HD DVD disks (under 400, and Blu-ray is about the same), and many movies are not available on HD DVD. Disks are more expensive than DVD and previewed disks (i.e. cheap) are not (yet) available. So -- unless you shoot yourself in the foot and refuse to watch a movie unless it is in HD -- you will be watching lots of DVDs even if you have an HD disk player (either or both formats).

An HDTV will deinterlace (if required) and upscale an incoming 480i or 480p DVD video signal. However, some HDTVs don't do a very good job. Enter upscaling DVD players ... which may do a better job. But, only a good upconverting DVD player is worthwhile. Cheap models (certainly anything under at least $100-$125) just won't beat the video processing in most HDTVs (See the article at the link for a discussion).

HD DVD players (and Blu-ray) make good upconverting DVD players, and depending on what you paid it may be the most cost-effective way to improve the picture on all those DVDs you will still be watching for some time to come (years).

You can test this by comparing a DVD on your HD DVD player and on your present DVD player. Is the picture sufficiently improved on the HD DVD player to perceive a benefit?

If you can benefit from an upconverting DVD player, and the HD DVD player you have is about (or maybe slightly higher than) the price of a good upconverting (non-HD) DVD player (e.g. Oppo 981, $229) consider keeping it. It may help to consider the HD DVD player not as an HD DVD player per se, but as an upconverting DVD player that also plays HD DVDs.

So ... there are some factors to consider. Hope they help.
