best dvd players for cars image

Heidi R

My son loves to use his portable DVD player in the car. He recently dropped his and it broke. I am wondering if there is one out there that is very durable, and can with stand the abuse of a toddler. Any suggestions would be GREAT!

Answer
I love this player for my toddler! It has a carry handle so she can easily carry it, and no flip screen to bust off. She's also dropped it a few times on wood floors, no damage!http://www.target.com/Disney-Portable-DVD-Player-D7500PDD/dp/B000REHHL4/sr=1-2/qid=1204237629/ref=sr_1_2/602-0650823-7746261?ie=UTF8&rh=k%3Akids%5Fportable%5Fdvd&page=1

How can I get my dvd player to play while my car is in motion?

casshan01

I recently just purchased a in dash dvd/cd reciever to replace my factory radio. The cd and everything else works great but when i take the car out of park a blue screen pops up and says that its iilegal to drive while watching a movie and the movie will not show a picture until the car is in park. I thought that was so stupid. I mean I understand their promoting safety and all but whats the point of having a dvd player in the car if you cant watch it. I mean how much am i going to really be in park. Also what if i have other passengers in the car and they want to watch a movie, they cant because of this stupid feature. So if anybdy can help me or know any tricks that i can use to turn off this feature please let me know, because the company that i got it from is entirely no help.

Answer
The unit has a wire that is connected to the e-brake and depending on your model needs to be grounded or hooked up to a 12volt feed.

-Note:( In response to all those who post below, the argument that anyone who tells you how to do this(Obvious: Freedom of Speech, Constitutional Right) or the manufacturer can get sued is false,( This would only be the case if the safety system was either non-existent or faulty, in this case it is neither because the consumer is voiding the warranty and manually modifying the component for unsafe use))
That said:
If you do this it voids your warranty, and you are held responsible for any legal action or injuries that result from it

Are there portable DVD players that can play full-screen movies?

best portable dvd player 9 image

Linda H

I have seen portable DVD players that are widescreen, but i wanted to get one to play full-screen DVDs. There are some that say something about being able to play widescreen at a 16:9 ratio while they can play full-screen with a 4:3 ratio. what does that mean?

Answer
Yes, a Yahoo search pulled up one DVD player that changes from widescreen to full screen, although I'm sure there are many others. Many that are widescreen can also adapt to play full screen discs.
http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DVD-LV75-Portable-DVD-Player/dp/B00004SD9O

I don't understand why people would want to watch films with the left and right sides of the screen cut off, which is what the misnomer "full screen" actually means.
Movie theater screens are longer, more rectangular, than television screens. The film stock used for each reflects this aspect ratio, with the former using many different "widescreen" (often 16:9, which is the displayed width divided by displayed height) sizes and the latter the "full screen" (4:3) format. To fit the wider film formatting to the television size, companies either add black bars to the top and bottom (letterboxing), or cut off the left and right sides, or compact the screen to fit. High Definition TVs and many European TVs also use the widescreen format.

Wikipedia has a good page, linked below, on the subject of image aspect ratios.

Using a different charger for a portable DVD player?

Alice Hart

I'm about to go on a road trip with three year old and can't find the charger for his portable DVD player. I found a couple of different chargers that do fit in the device (I haven't tried them plugged in) for example the Swiffer sweeper-vac and his baby monitors. I don't know much about electronics and I don't know if it will ruin it being charged by a charger that isn't FOR it?

Is there anything I can do?

Answer
You need to find one the voltage, current, and polarity/plug of the original.

They are usually 9 to 12V, and 750mA to 2A, positive center.

What is the difference between a dvd player and a blu-ray dvd player?

Sol

I always used a DVD player to watch movies.

I have to buy a new DVD Player because my old one broke. Why should I want to buy a Blu-ray dvd player instead of a regular dvd player.

Answer
For one thing any disc you buy in the future will be a blu-ray disc and will not work in a regular dvd player. What you should buy is a player that states on the box that it will work with all existing disc formats. They will come out with something else that makes all that garbage in a couple of years anyway.

DVD players scan discs with red lasers and Blu-Ray players scan discs with blue lasers. I'm not joking about the laser part. That's how it really works!

How to remove the password of a dmg file?

best dvd player app for mac image

Bizhan

I have a dmg file (3.7 GB) which is a video and I can play it on my mac, I am trying to burn it on a dvd so i can play it on a dvd player or my playstation, i am able to successfully burn it but it still doesn't play neither on a DVD player nor my playstation, i tried a pc too but still doesn't read it...the dmg file is encrypted, I was wondering if this was the problem, will decrypting solve this or there is another issue... any suggestion is very much appreciated!

Answer
To find the password of any encrypted file, contact the person who made it. I wish there was some other way, but there is not. The reason for the password is so you cannot use it without the password. The guy didn't put a password on it just to make you look around on websites and ask here at Yahoo Answers and waste half a day. He did it to STOP YOU FROM USING THE FILE. Why would he do that? No idea. Ask him.

"I have a dmg file (3.7 GB) which is a video"
Not really true. A DMG file is a disk image. The file INSIDE the disk image COULD be a movie file--or not. If it is a bunch of files, such as "VIDEO_TS" and others, it is a group of files that together make a DVD. Typically, you simply drag those files to a blank DVD and click the burn icon. To tell us what the heck is in the disk image, double-click it to mount it, and look at the file extension of the file (extension is the part AFTER the dot).

If this DMG has the folder "VIDEO_TS" and such, you can extract a compressed movie file from it using Handbrake.

To use a compressed movie file in Windows 7, these formats work....

"Windows Media Player 12 has built-in support for many popular audio and video formatsâincluding 3GP, AAC, AVCHD, MPEG-4, WMV, and WMA. It also supports most AVI, DivX, MOV, and Xvid files." --from the 1st link below

If the stuff inside the DMG is not a complete set of folders/files for a DVD, but is instead a compressed movie file, you can still use that file to make a DVD movie disc, although the quality will typically be lower than that of a commerical DVD movie disc. To make a DVD movie disc on a Mac....

-- If your computer is not 2011 or later model, it came with iDVD (which happens to be discontinued now). Use it. iMovie is the app that came with your Mac for editing movies. Then it has an option to Export to iDVD, which has a Help menu, and if that doesn't answer all your questions, use support.apple.com for "iDVD menus" or whatever your question is about.

-- If your 2011 or later computer came with no iDVD, use DVDStyler. It is a free (not a demo / trial) open-source alternative to iDVD for Intel Macs. It has most of the same options as iDVD, but not as many cool themes.

How do i use the Burn app on Mac os x to burn dvd?

luvlifegiz

i have lots of movies in .AVI format that i want to burn to disc so i can watch them in my dvd player. I tried doing what i thought but the dvd player said the format was wrong. please help i thought this was simple??

Answer
Hello, luvlifegiz23.
You didn't mention which computer you have. Is it Apple? Did it come with a DVD burner? Apple provided iMovie and iDVD which is EVERYTHING you need EXCEPT the codecs for the outdated AVI format. Get that by downloading Perian, link below. Perian will enable your Apple programs to use AVI and FLV (Youtube) files. You don't have to download any of those other things. That is not to say those other apllications won't work. They may do the job as well, but why spend time learning some off-the-wall applications to duplicate the abilities you have in iMovie and iDVD?

Step 1: Download and install Perian. It simply provides the conversion software that works in the background. You don't ever need to do anything with it.

Step 2: Open iMovie, choose"New Project", and choose where to save the project. {a project has the movie file, plus any special effects files you add from iMovie that can be merged into the final DVD movie}. Go to File > Import. After you import the AVI file, move the thumbnail(s) to the bottom of the iMovie window to arrange them in the Clip Viewer. Add transitions or titles if you need them by following the iMovie Help.

Step 3: When done, click the iDVD button at the right to add chapter markers, if you need them.

Step 4: When done, click the "Create iDVD Project" button to launch iDVD. Use iDVD Help to learn how to add a menu and chapters.

Step 5: When done, click the burn button. You will get a message to insert a blank DVD. Use Verbatim brand if you have any trouble with other brands (big name is no guarantee when it comes to DVD quality).

What resolution should i set my upconverting dvd player to?

best dvd players for hdtv 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.

besides the picture quality, can my old dvd player work with the new 1080p HDTV?

Eric C

i am getting a new 1080p hdtv but don't feel like spending another few hundred bux for a upconverting dvd, for now.
can the old dvd player work with hdtv? do i need to buy any connect wire?

Answer
Absolutely! Use the best connection you can so you get the best possible picture. If your DVD player has an HDMI port, use that. Otherwise use the component cables (red, gree, blue for video + red and white for audio). If not that, try S-Video. And lastly, if not that, use the yellow, red and white component cables.

What can I do to get my DVD players to work?

Phantom fr

I have had my DVD players for a long time now, but it they both stopped working at the same time. I will put a DVD in one of them and it says "Error H02" and the same message appears with on the other one when I try it too! What is wrong with them?! They were working just fine a week ago, and now they won't play anything! Please help, because I really don't want to have to buy new DVD players. Thank you!

Answer
Only the manufacturer will be able to tell you what that code is saying. Like you said, it is very old and it is time for a new one. Most manufacturer have stopped producing stand alone DVD player due to the blu ray disc player will also play the dvd. The most reliable player in the market is made by Panasonic. You can get a model BD-75 for around $75 at Best Buy. Hope this will help you out.

In general the answer is no as those devices are output only.

The cheapest solutions are two copies of the same movie or a portable monitor slaved off one player.

Then again you could do digital down loads on lap tops

What is the dvd player of a surround sound system called?

best dvd players image

curiouskid

We have a sony surround sound system but the actual dvd player where the speakers are connected to is very old. We want a new one with bluray built in. Is it possible to purchase just the dvd player? what is the dvd player called because when i search for "bluray dvd players" none of them have the inputs for the speakers. Do we need a sony brand player to work with the sony speakers?

Answer
It is possible to do what you want, but it is ill advised. It is unwise to mix-n-match HTIBs (Home Theater In a Box) as they are made specifically for their components. HTIBs sacrifice quality for convenience. If you want full upgradability in a home theater system, you should pick one that has a separate receiver. You will not find another "DVD player" that has the connections you need because the system you have is a DVD/surround-sound-receiver.

What is the Aaron English band?

Kevin7

Answer
Here's their bio..

From 2003 to 2008, the band released two albums and completed three tours of the U.S. In the summer of 2008, during their fourth American tour, the bandâs bus was involved in a catastrophic accident on a Midwestern highway. Their restaurant-greasefueled tour bus and most of their musical equipment were destroyed, and The Aaron English Band's touring career was temporarily grounded.

In the hiatus that followed, Aaron English toured solo and released a solo album, 2010's piano-driven âamerican [fever] dreamâ which contained the U.S. Top 20 radio hit single âBelieve.â Meanwhile, in the background, the band was working hard to recover from its losses and reunite.

In February 2011 The Aaron English Band released the single âNorwegian Wood/Kashmirâ, a reinvention of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin classics that has been a staple of the band's live set for years. The band's official video for this
medley is a hit on YouTube, racking up 23,000 views as of December 2011.

What's Next:
A U.S. tour is in development for 2012, and the band is currently working on a live DVD which is scheduled for release in March of that year.

Notable Achievements:
- Semi-finalist, Coca-Cola/American Music Awards New Artist Competition
- Finalist, Atlantic Recordsâ Soul City Music Quest
- Top 5 finalist, 'Album of the Year', Just Plain Folks Music Awards
- Charted a U.S. Top 20 hit on the FMQB radio charts, peaking at #18
- The band's cult hit "The Lullaby of Loneliness" was name-checked in an episode of the Fox TV drama 'Bones'

Instrumentation
Aaron English - Piano/Vocals, Misc. African/Middle Eastern/European folk instruments, loops
Patrick Strole - Hurdy-Gurdy, Guitar
Mark Fauver on - Wind Synth
Matthew Burgess - Percussion, electronics
Miguel Mateus - Bass
Derek Munson - Drums

Discography

Well, its possible, but to quote a very good source,

And according to http://www.dvddemystifiziert.de/codefree_en/magnavox.html
there are no known hacks for the MWD200GA at all. Sorry.

How do I connect my new HDTV to my DVD player if my DVD player?

best dvd players for hdtv image

Patti Boyd

How do I connect my new HDTV to my DVD player if my DVD player doesn't have a HDMI spot to plug the HDMI cable into? It would be helpful if I knew if there was a type of adapter that I needed to use to complete the task.
Thanks!

Answer
Only upscaling DVD players have an HDMI port. Otherwise, you'll have to use component video cables. Be sure to set the DVD Player to output in progressive scan (480p). Your HDTV will automatically upscale the picture to its native resolution. However, most upscaling DVD players will do a better job at rescaling your DVDs into near-HD quality than you TV.

If I hook an upconverting DVD player to an HDTV, should I still get the black bars at the top and bottom?

CMDubb

I hooked an upconverting DVD player up to my widescreen (16:9) HDTV. I expected the movie picture from a DVD with a 16:9 anamorphic transfer to fill the entire screen. However, I still have the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen as with a standard TV. Have I hooked something up wrong or is this how it's supposed to be?

Answer
Anamorphic DVDs play in the native aspect ratio that the movie was filmed in. You will always have the black bars with these DVDs, unless the native aspect ratio of the movie was 16:9. Generally, the aspect ratio is stated on the DVD case. You can, of course, eliminate the bars by using one of the TV's stretching modes, but this just distorts or cuts-off part of the picture. To see the movie as you would in a theater, this is the way to do it.
The up-scaling DVD player doesn't change aspect ratio, it just increases the resolution of the picture. By the way, you should not upscale the DVD to a resolution greater than that of your TV's screen. Your TV will just downscale it, and the more processing done, the more the picture will be degraded by it.

How do you set a Dodge 6 CD/DVD MP3 player to play random songs?

best dvd players 2010 image

Paul D

I have a 2010 Dodge Journey with a 6 CD DVD MP3 Player. I must be blind, but I can't find a button or a way to play a CD in shuffle/random mode. Every other CD player I have seen can do this. How do I do it, or is it capable? It is the same 6 CD / DVD player found in any Dodge.

Answer
their should be a section in the owners manual that explains this or a small booklet that came with the owners manual on the radio that's equipped in it,im not real good on radios though,i just install them for customers sometimes,good luck.

Cna you tell when a DVD player was last used or what was played?

sosadtoday

Is there a way to look at settings or tell - What was last played on DVD Player? When DVD player was last used?

Answer
go into the add/remove programs and it will tell you the last time it was accessed....but sometimes that date is incorrect....i use Firefox 90% of the time and my add/remove programs say last used 16 June 2010...even though i use it everyday......so really there is no way to really tell the last time it was used....
