micah


My laptop is running on Windows 7. I tried to click the Web Help button but I wasn't able to understand the technicalities written there, only that I need an MPEG-2 decoder. HELP!


Answer
hat is a Codec? A "Codec" is a technical term for the "compression/decompression" of large downloadble files. Commonly associated with music and movie files transmitted, they tell the player how to decode the movie you want to play. Codec Vary depending on the program that created them.
Chances are you are missing a Codec or two. Do yourself a favor and get VLC Player, it just works and comes with all of it's Codec's.
VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVD, Audio CD, VCD, and various streaming protocols.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

"It plays everything!"
The media player that fulfills all your needs. It handles DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, web streams, TV cards and much more.
With VLC, there is no need to continually update many different codec packs. VLC comes with nearly every codec built in!
And whats more, VLC can play back your files, even if the media is damaged! Missing or broken pieces wont stop VLC. All the video and audio information that remains can be played.
1. DVD decryption is done through the libdvdcss library.
2. VLC on GNU/Linux, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows has playback control support via libcdio and libvcdinfo. On other platforms, SVCD support varies depending on the availability of these libraries. (Volunteers for adding support are always welcome.). Handling still frames (often used in menus) and switching between different video formats is problematic.
3. On Mac OS X 10.4 or later, VLC is able to grab video and audio from EyeTV applications and therefore all EyeTV-compatible capture devices. The user needs to install a plugin to EyeTV.app in order to use this feature. Guidance is provided in the User Interface. Requires VLC 0.9.0 or later.
4. VLC for GNU/Linux supports V4L2 compatible encoding cards as well as two kinds of MPEG-2 encoding cards: Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-250/350 and Visiontech Kfir.
5. VLC can capture video from internal iSights on Mac OS X 10.5 or later (video only) since version 0.9.0. VLC 1.2 adds enables capturing from all devices supported by QTKit.

What happens when you try and play a blu-ray disc in a regular dvd player?

best dvd player blu ray on Blu-ray Dvd Player - Buy Cheap Blu-ray Dvd Player from Best Blu-ray ...
best dvd player blu ray image



elmer091


I bought a blu ray disc, and it came with a regular DVD copy. without even thinking, i just grabbed the first disc, and put it into my DVD player, and that disc happened to be the blu-ray version. now the back of the blu-ray disc has waves of color, and i dont know if i ruined it or not, does anyone know?


Answer
No, you didn't ruin it. DVD players are strictly read-only, meaning that they will not rewrite or damage anything on the disc under any circumstances, unless the DVD player catches on fire or spits the DVD across the room, shattering it against the wall (which will almost NEVER happen, mind you!). The "waves of color" are just part of the reflection from the disc. In short, if you put a Blu-ray DVD into a standard DVD player, absolutely NOTHING will happen.

Do you have to have a special type of dvd player to play a blu ray disc on?




linda h


Can I play the new BLU RAY disc on a regular dvd player or do I have to buy something new?


Answer
You have only 2 choices for playing a Blu Ray disk.
1) Play Station 3
2) Stand Alone BluRay player.
A regular DVD player will not play BluRay or HDDVD.

How to connect my Sony dvd player that is wireless, to my Sony TV that is not wireless?

best dvd players with built in wifi on DVD Headrest System for '07-'14 Jeep Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK
best dvd players with built in wifi image



Bryan


I have a Sony Bravia TV that does not have the built-in wireless function. However, the Sony 3D DVD player that I own does have the wireless function.

My question is before I spend $80 for the Sony Bravia wireless TV USB adapter that has terrible reviews, is there a way to connect the DVD player with the TV somehow so the TV can get the internet from the DVD player?

Thanks,

PS- Please don't say sorry we can answer any questions unless we have every little peace of information about the TV and the DVD player.

Just a simple yes or no will suffice.



Answer
"wireless" refers to a network connection. You still need use a HDMI cable to physically connect the player to the TV.

You can then configure your player to connect to your home's wireless (also called "wifi") network so it you can use its network applications like Facebook, or Netflix or whatever else it has installed.

While they do make "smart TVs" that have these same network features, you do not need both your TV and player to have them. Just one or the other. In your case the player will access the internet and display the contents on your TV.

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

best dvd players under 100 on ... Champion Basketball Player: The Point Guard - Basketball DVD
best dvd players under 100 image



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.

Would you please recommend me a DVD player comparable to the one I owned?




JS


Hello. I owned the following DVD player for several years: Apex digital progressive scan DVD/CD/MP3 player. Model AD-1165. It recently broke. Could you recommend something in the same price range (could be a little more expensive), with the same, if not greater functionality, that is more durable? Thank you.


Answer
Most manufacturer have stopped producing stand alone DVD players. Due to the Blu Ray disc player can also play the DVD movie. The best brand to get is Panasonic, they are the most reliable player in the market today. I own a first generation player from Panasonic model BD-10 which is over 4 years old and have played over 300 blu ray disc movies without one problem. The cost of the blu ray disc player have dropped. You can now purchase a blu ray disc player for under $100. Hope this will help you out.

kristi_wil


The audio track is clear. The audio plays on the pc after it encodes, so the encode is good. When I burn to dvd, the audio is not there. I checked three separate dvd players without success. I checked filters in windows media burner, then unchecked them. I've ran out of disks, but I would really like to solve this issue. I need an answer before my aunts birthday (May 6th).

Are they any good DVD converting programs?




Lovelysams


I want to convert videos so I can watch them on the actual DVD player and not just on the laptop. Legit, and safe programs only please. I have windows 7, 64-bit.


Answer
The program I use is Nero Vision. It's part of the Nero Burning ROM package, which primarily does CD and DVD burning, but it has a lot of other features. I'm not sure what the current version of Nero is, but you can get older versions very cheap on EBay, like $15, and they work just fine.

Nero Vision will convert any (supposedly) format to DVD. I use it to convert DIVX files I download from the Internet so we can play them on the DVD player and watch them on the TV. (I say supposedly because I haven't tried -all- formats.)

Can I connect my DVD Player to my digital to analog converter box?

best dvd player streaming on Sony Streaming Media Player  Whats Best About SONY Media Player ...
best dvd player streaming image



Questionma


I have this really old tv (1996) and it only has a RF input. I have a digital to analog converter box (Digital Stream DTX9900) and it connects to the TV just fine through the RF input. The converter box has an A/V output and I was wondering if it is possible for me to connect my DVD Player through there to be able to watch it on my TV? Or would I have to get a RF Modulator?


Answer
The converter is only for DTV to an analog TV. There are no inputs for a second video source.
You need an RF Modulator which are easily available at Radio Shack for 20 to 25 dollars. Then you can hook the converter and the dvd to the RF modulator and voila everything will play on you TV

Is is possible to stream a DVD player video and audio signal WIRELESS?




Jake H


I am planing to buy a new TV for my room, however, I want something that is internet connect-able. The TV also needs to get a DVD player. Any suggestions on TVs with both that are under $1,000. Another option for me would be to get the internet tv and have the DVD under my bed and have it's output be sent to my TV. If anyone can help, please do.


Answer
While there are wireless speakers, don't expect to find wireless Blu-Ray or Cable TV.

As far as internet on your TV, you will need a computer for surfing the internet.

Newer Blu-Ray players from Samsung and Sony have wireless capabilities built in with no hardware need that allow you to watch Netflix and use other applications as well. I hear the Samsung BD-C6500 is great.

For TVs, check in the internet for the Panasonic G25 plasma.

Buy.com has the G25 series at good pricing.

If you want to sacrifice quality for price then I'd go with the Panasonic S2 series. A Panasonic 50" S2 costs $898 at Amazon.com.

limbodian


Anybody know if it's worth purchasing Linux? Is it true what they say about it being better than Windows? And what would be the most up to date version to buy?
Thanks Guys... I just wanted to try out Linux, Just for kicks. I'm not a PC wiz... Just like to try stuff out.
I have a laptop with now OS installed... I was just thinking to install Linux... thanks again



Answer
Linux is open source therefore it is FREE OF CHARGE

For gaming there is XP

For everything else there is Linux

Why Linux is Better
http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

Linux Mint 9 Download
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=52

The Perfect Desktop - Linux Mint 9 (Isadora)
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-linux-mint-9-isadora

Linux Mint 9 User Guide Download pdf.
http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_isadora.php

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

Linux Mint 9 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive

Also worth considering :

Fedora Remix (Fedora with elements of Linux Mint)
http://fcoremix.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/lucky-13/
http://iso.linux.hr/community-fedora-remix/
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/User_Guide/

Ubuntu 10.04
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-10.04-lucid-lynx
http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid

Again Fedora Remix and Ubuntu 10.04 can be run direct from the LiveCD/DVD without touching your Hard Drive

Also you can try out as many different Linux distros. as you like on LiveCD until you find the one thats right for you DISTROWATCH.COM gives full listings (second lists the major distributions)
http://distrowatch.com/

Major Linux Distributions
http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=major

In the case of LiveCD's there is much to be said for them. Performance can vary depending on the speed of the machine but they are not so slow as you would be led to believe. Performance is quite acceptable on a machine with the following specs. 2.4ghz P4 CPU + 2gb RAM

The major downside is settings cannot be saved between sessions so it is better to use a Linux distro. that will work out of the box without the need to install things like Flash player and multimedia codecs.

Ubuntu does not lend itself well to this as you need to install packages to get the most out of it

Here are a couple I recommend

Linux Mint 8
http://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=44
http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_helena.php
I am not suggesting Linux Mint 9 as there are issues with enabling 3D acceleration when running from the LiveCD

disney world for five days with 22 people. help please?

best portable dvd player kids 2010 on Bower CDV10 Portable 10-Inch Leatherette DVD Case, Black
best portable dvd player kids 2010 image



Nicole =)


okay well me and my family are DRIVING to orlando florida disney world in march 2010 from houston texas. how long is the car ride?

well my dad says its like $40 a person for one theme park. and theres twenty-two people so yeah we can only choose one or two theme parks.
Which theme parks would you say is the one with most thrill rides or rides that just give you that adrenaline.

what should i bring on the car ride to burn time. we might rent a van beacuase theres 8 or 7 people riding in the same car as me. so i cant bring things that are huge you know what i mean?


we are also staying at the reunion resort 5 bedroom house.
theres 5 teenagers (including me)
4 or 5 kids, and like 3 or 2 babies. the rest are our parents/gma gpa.
what should i bring for us teenagers/kids to do in the hotel or house w/e when we get bored at night? im already bringing my nintendo wii but what else beacause only 4 people can play the wii at a time.

so yeah can anyone help me out here?



Answer
1) The drive is about 14 hours 25 minutes according to google maps if you take I-10 E. If you take I-20 E it will take you almost 20 hours.

2) Theme parks are much higher than $40 a person. Disney is $75 for one day admission, and Universal is around the same, because it will be a peak season, since it's Spring break. In this case - go to Universal and do the park hopper (2 parks 1 day).. It's around $84 for the day, and you get access to both parks. They have tons of thrill rides. If you have to choose just one, go to Islands of Adventure at Universal.. it has the most thrill rides. Another option is Sea World, although you might find it a waste of your one theme park.

3) In the car to burn time, bring books, your ipod, magazines, maybe a portable DVD player to watch movies. You could also sleep as well. 14 hours isn't as bad as it seems!

4) The wii will be fun. There's also always movies on the tv and good shows on - especially March break. You could also swim at night (most pools have lights!)

Hope this helps

moving overseas - should i bring my dvd collection?

best buy portable dvd player canada on Portable DVD with DivX $99 @ A&B Sound, Future Shop, and Best Buy ...
best buy portable dvd player canada image



sasha__


i am moving from canada to italy for i don't know how long. i have an american player that won't play italian dvds and i buy an italin player, i would have to buy italin dvds and i dont want to spend the $$ to rebuild my collection from scratch.

so i am going to bring my portable dvd player but have like 100 dvds. i am not getting them shipped to me so my options are either, bring all 100 dvds in a cd wallet, without the cases (leaving the empty cases in canada maybe forever) or just bring my fave 20 or so, cases and all.
to the pretentious person who told me to explore europe without dvds... im MOVING there forever. i ll want to watch a movie now and then.



Answer
Take your 20 faves, then whenever people come to visit you in Italy ask them to bring some more. When you go back for a visit grab some more. If you move back to Canada send them to your new address in the mail.

Driving to Canada with laptop?




wingman


My family is going to drive to Canada this week. I'm bringing my laptop, portable dvd player, digital camera, ipod, and nintendo ds.

Do I need to register these or something or fill out documents? And if I bring souvenirs back to the US, do I have to "declare" them? I don't really get this...
And for us to go into Canada by car, do we have to fill out certain documents or can we just show them the required identification?



Answer
Years ago I was told to take the receipt for my camera when I went to the States, just to prove that they were not purchased there. I usually do that but I've never been asked. If any of your things are brand new it might be worth carrying the receipts just in case but I doubt you will be required to show them.

Usually you just show your passport and answer a few questions - where do you live? where are you going? and what is the purpose of your visit? When you come back, they will ask where you have been? What have you bought? and are you bringing alcohol or tobacco products back? There are limits to how much you can bring back,

This is a link to a US Border Services Web site that can answer most of you questions.

Bon Voyage!

mothercary


I know it obviously won't be able to play DVD's, but there might be a way to connect a DVD player to it. This would be an alternative to filling up the small hard drive with iTunes library.


Answer
DVD support will never come to iPad and very soon it will disappear from many netbooks to make it lighter.

If you want more memory , there are plenty of apps available that streams video,audio from home computer over Wi-Fi or 3G. You don't have to be on the same network.

Besides, you can also get some memory on Box and Drop Box. Both have FREE apps for iphone/iPad.

DVD is in last phase of its life anyway.

NetBooks can never match the quality of iPad. Accelerometer based gaming interface with HD graphics makes it incredible. iWork is immaculate on it and it costs only $30. On netbooks MS Office cost somewhere near $115.

Thousand of wonderful apps make iPad a stupendous gadget. iPad has apps like YouTube,DailyMotion,Metacafe,TV.net and many thousand more. You can download files,Audio,Video,Books,Comics,.rar file,exe software right from iPad.
There are many apps available to download.
iPad is much more useful and than any netbook

You can watch full length movies,full episodes of TV shows, thousands of Animation movies and all kinds of video ONLINE for FREE.
You dont need FLASH support to play video content. R.I.P FLASH
All the websites are recoding video content in HTML 5.And iPad supports HTML 5

I guess this is an option to remove the subtitles on your player. You can right click the movie while player and it should give an an option there which says primary subtitle. Click no subtitle.

What are the best home theater system for a 1080p HDTV and blu-ray DVD player?




T J


I recently purchased a HDTV with 1080p and a blu-ray DVD player (PS3), and wonder what are home theater systems that would provide better outcomes at a reasonable cost (<$500). Do I need to buy a system or a receiver and separate speakers with capacity of 7.1 channel and HDMI 1.3 output?. Any recommendations on particular brand name and model?

Thanks ahead of time for your help!



Answer
The above answer will give you amazing sound, but that solution takes a lot of time and money. If you want a "quick fix" that yields entirely decent results, consider the Onkyo lineup of HT systems. It won't match up to the piece-by-piece assembly outlined by Robert P, but it will be a once-and-done expenditure that delivers admirable results. As long as you get a receiver with analog 5.1 or 7.1 inputs, HDMI 1.3 will not be as important. Especially if you do not buy a high-end system like the one described above, you would not really reap the benefits of having a 1.3 receiver.

What is the maximum resolution and (file) formats supported by a dvd player with HDMI output?

best dvd players with hdmi image



xenos mc


If I buy a dvd player or recorder with HDMI output can it play files recorded in High Definition with .wmw or .mkv extensions or I must convert them to .avi (with Xvid or Divx encoder)?
Also I would like to know if files recorded in HD resolution (720 or 1080) can be played by a dvd player. Thanks.



Answer
Plain old DVD (the movie format - not the physical medium) is 480p. An upscaling DVD player using HDMI can stretch that to 1080p, but the picture quality won't be as good as a blu-ray disc, which is recorded in 1080p so no upscaling is required.

If your upscaling player supports other file formats, like Divx, they should definitely support 720p, but I don't know about 1080p. You'll have to check the manual for details on what formats and versions it supports specifically. In this case, the DVD is just a storage medium, so you could put 720p or 1080p video onto the DVD and have the player output it correctly - assuming it supports the file format you wrote the movie to DVD with. Again, check your manual.

Are HD DVD players the same thing as HDMI cable DVD player?




Samantha R


If a DVD player is HDMI upgradeable (or whatever the word is), is it technically an HD DVD player? Or is that something completely different?

How much is an HD DVD player? Is an HDMI enabled DVD player that different from a standard DVD player?

Thanks!



Answer
HDMI is just the connection like the yellow,red and white cables u hook up to yer dvd player an HDMI cable is all of that in one plus it has other capabilities like widening the picture and transfers data to your screen fast so u wont have any skipping problems or pixelated scenes due to slow processing of the video. a good hd player that has DIVX HD capabilities and has a usb outlet so u could play movies copied to a flash drive costs about 150, there were 70-90 ones but with no usb slot. i know because i just bought one the other day. a regular bluray without the usb or divx hd ranges from 60 to 500. a regular dvd player is just 20 bucks and all those are HDMI enabled
