Where can I find a case for portable dvd players to use in the car?

Mom of Thr

I don't want one that goes in between the seats as both of my kids have their own dvd play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry meant to say they both have their own dvd players.

Answer
I don't have an answer specifically to your question - but I did want to mention - a 3lb DVD player, in a 20mph crash is like 60lbs of force crashing into your child's face. There have been many instances of people dying from head injury or internal bleeding due to a free laptop being projectiled into the air.

If you're set on having the DVD players in there, make sure they are installed in a way that they will not move in a crash, and also so they dont' interfere with any of the other passengers safety.

:) Safe travels.

car dvd players?????

dazedconfu

are these worth it? what are some good brands?

Answer
I have an older model van and didn't want to put the expense into installing a DVD player in it permanently. We looked into portable DVD players but they seemed unstable and would mount lower than we wanted (most of them mounted in-between the front head rests so that people in the back seat would have a hard time seeing the screen) When we were getting ready to drive to Utah with small children we realized we needed something to keep them entertained. Then we found a dual screen portable DVD player and we love it. It is an RCA 7" 16:9 Portable DVD Player with Dual TFT-LCD Monitors. The two screens can be mounted separately and attach to headrests. (We put one on the front seat headrest and the second on the middle seat headrest) The screen is also the DVD player so there are only the two parts with a cable running between them. The nice thing about the one that we bought is that you can take it with you into a hotel room and it will play the DVD on a regular TV and it also comes with video games that can be played either while the second screen is watching a movie or displayed on a TV. (the video games aren't high graphics but are geared towards younger kids, although we had fun playing them too. Some of them are 80's knock-offs like frogger and centipede) The $200 was well worth the hours of quiet (non-fighting) travel time. Good luck!

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

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.

Would it be better to get a streaming player like roku or a dvd player that plays netflix?

best deal on tv with dvd players?

Mandy's Pl

Answer
Don't get one. With DVD players down to $39, there's no reason to. If the player fails, it often takes the TV with it. Then you have to get the TV repaired.
There are many posts here in answers from people who have no TV because their DVD failed. Running out and buying a DVD player to hook yup to the TV isn't an option. You have to get it repaired-and it will cost a lot more than a new DVD player.

DVD player error???

Kape

recently i rented some DVDs to watch on my computer but some of the discs display errors such as the disc region is not the same as the region for the dvd player.

i know i am suppose to change the region for the dvd player but there is only a limited number of times i can change it and after that i would not be able to change it any more so is there any other way that i can watch the DVDs without changing the region as i do not want to waste the limited number of times that i can change the dvd player region.

Answer
There are some ways that you could deal with this. You are allowed four times to be able to change the region settings on your computer. Remember, though; changing it from region 1 to region whatever is one time, then changing it back to region one is two times. So, for one DVD, you've all ready changed it twice. You change it again to another region after you've changed it back to 1, then you're up to three times. Then after that DVD, you go back to 1 or some other region, and your stuck with what you have. Here are the options available to you: 1. See if the specific DVDs are available in region 1 or are all region. 2. Buy a multiregion DVD player. These are still a little pricy, but are coming down. 3. Buy a PS2, and they are mostly region free. If not, before powering it on, hold all four top buttons (L1, L2, R1, R2), and the up button, then power it on, and that will cancel out the region read. However, you must do that each time you turn it on. 4. See if there are any hack patches available to make the region changes unlimited. Hope this helps.

what is a good DVD player that streams Netflix?

Mike

i don't care about Blu-ray or HD-DVD's, just want a regular DVD player that streams Netflix. would be good if it played VHS too, but doubt they make those anymore. user friendly, price range $150 tops
can you play regular DVDs on a Blu-ray player?

Answer
DVD player that streams Netflix? - XBOX 360
You can also stream netflix on a Wii or ps3.

You're not gonna find just a plain dvd player that does Netflix. You're going to need a Blu-ray player.

DVD discs can not have internet features. Blu-ray discs can

A lot of Blu-ray discs have an online feature called BD-Live (Blu-ray Disc Live), so most blu-ray players go online for BD-Live, so a lot of blu-ray players will include other internet features like you tube and Netflix

That vizio someone else mentioned is a Blu-ray player. Vizio doesn't even make regular dvd players

UPDATE because of your "additional details": Update - yes, Blu-ray players play DVDs and CDs. DVD players do not play Blu-ray Discs

DVD Recorder question?

TheVan

I am trying to copy a VHS to DVD with my dvd recorder, simply to back up my VHS collection. When I try to copy it, it says that it is unable to copy because it is copy protected. Is there any way to get around this? How do I back up a copy protected VHS to a DVD?

Answer
If you are just coping home movies then any good VHS / DVD Recorder will do. However if you wish to back up any copy protected videos (as a rule if you purchased a movie it is copy protected) then you will need separate VHS player and DVD recorder with a stabilizer between them. I have see consumer stabilizers designed for this range in cost from $50-$150. The problem is most of them do a poor job at best. If you can find one, some older consumer video mixers like the Videonics MX-1 and MX-Pro with a digital TBCs (Time Base Correctors) will do a much better job (try it before you buy it or make sure you can return it). As far as home movies they are no problem, all you need is just a VHS player, cables and a DVD-Recorder as long as the VHS tapes are in good shape. As far as VCRs I like the higher end consumer Panasonic and JVC VHS recorders with built in TBCs. They are very stable and can often produce a better image. These can often be found at a pawn shop cheap (not a lot of demand for VHS anymore). As far as stand alone DVD recorders all I have ever had were Panasonic, I suggest one that has a internal hard drive. These are great machines, and do very high quality recordings from your TV system, video camera or VCR and are easy to use, they can even do basic editing. By the way, you can also just hookup your camcorder directly to your DVD recorder and make copies of your home movies.

Intervideo WinDVD, Cyberlink Power DVD and WIndows Media Player ...?

tenno1234

So I archived all my old dvds to an extrenal hard drive as a backup and storage. I can play them fine with WinDVD and Cyberlink Power DVD but not with Windows Media Player. Why will the play in Intervideo WinDVD and Cyberlink PowerDVD but NOT in Windows Media Player, whats the difference between those softwares ? Is there a way I can convert the files so they play in Windows Media Player ? I'm just worried that in a few years I won't be able to play these files anymore as I'm throwing the old DVDs away to make space.

Answer
In Simple Terms

All applications have diffenrent functionalities and PowerDVD and WinDVD players are built to play DVD files but Windows Media Player is a Native Windows player that plays almost many of the Movie and music files. It will play a DVD file if it has a supporting software called 'a CODEC'.

These additional files help native players like Media Player to play all kinds of music and video files.

So all you need is a DVD Codec for your Media player and well you can play all your DVDs.

Here are some Codec packs that will help you get along,

K-Lite Codec Pack
FFD Show Codec Pack
XP Codec Pack

Just Google for these names and you'll find the codecs available for free.

I have a DVD player on my Windows XP computer but can't get any DVD to play on it.?

BCD3

Two different times I've downloaded DVD decoders but neighter has helped the problem. My CD player works just fine on my computer, but I can't understand why the DVD player won't work. My DVD slot says on the front of it DVD ROM. When I put the DVD in it just spins for a few minutes then nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to activate something on the computer to get the DVD to work? Please, help.
I have a DVD player in my computer.

Answer
DVD with a copyright protect always. So I think that is the problem.

Or your DVD player not support your DVD version.

I play my DVD on computer with my Windows Media Player. Just use Aimersoft DVD Ripper to converter my DVD to AVI format.

Once I get a new DVD, I can enjoy it anywhere as I want. such as my iPod, Zune, computer etc. So I recommend you get one. Or free try it first: http://www.aimersoft.com/dvd-ripper.html#161

Hope this may help you.

My Blu-Ray player can play DVD but not Blu-Ray?

psych23232

I asked about my Blu-Ray player before, Panasonic DMP-BDT210, that it can't play my Blu-Ray movies.

But my mother put in a DVD movie and somehow it plays the DVD. But when I put in a Blu-Ray movie, I get the message "Cannot read, check the disc."

That doesn't make sense to me. This is a Blu-Ray 3D player and it played Blu-Ray movies before but now it can't read them, yet it can play DVD's and CD's?

What the heck is wrong with the player?

Answer
First of all have you ever updated your 3D Blu-Ray player's firmware before from the default that came along. IF NOT go to Panasonic's website and look firmware to your model of your Panasonic player. Sometime you need to do that in order to play certain movies, IF there are NO parts problems. When I first got Terminator 2: Judgment Day Skeynet Edition it would not load up to the menu screen and stay at the loading wait on my Pioneer BDP-51FD. So I looked online for info, and that got me to do my very first firmware update, and NOT leave it at the default firmware that came along. This was back in late May or early June of 2010. After I updated the firmware to 1.65 from the company's site. I had never update my Blu-Ray player's firmware since I got it in mid February of 2009.

I had this problem when the remake of True Grit was released back in June of 2011. I got it the second or third day. The first time I put it in my Pioneer BDP-51FD it would not play, after it finished saying closed and went to loading. It would stay at that to a certain point(I would guess it always the same amount of time), and then a message would show up on the HDTV screen and player's little screen saying "Can't Play This Disc" and Unknown Disc. Back then I didn't know what was going on, The first seven time I have try it in the player, it did not play at all, and the same thing happen. Altogether I try the disc in the player 22 times with in a week and three days. It only worked three different times in the player. Then my guess was that either the disc hates my player the player hates the disc or this disc of True Grit out of so many made has problems. I just return it to Costco in the end, but before doing that I did try the disc on my friend's PS3, and it work the first time in there. I also tryed it on my uncle's Sony Blu-Ray player, it also worked the first time in there.

Move forward to mid August 2011 certain Blu-Rays I got way before the release of True Grit(remake) had worked in the my Pioneer player with no problems. The first one I notice with that problem was Casino, I had got that back in early April of last year, and it had always worked. Ever since mid August more and more started not to play on the player, with the same problem as True Grit. What I have notice was when it would not play and with the same messages is that there is no fan like spinning sound, when it does disc loading. I have also sat in front of the Blu-Ray player, with the TV sound turn down to listen and notice no fan like spinning sound. When I first had this problem I had also found two forums with sections devoted to my player. One is a section at http://www.avsforum.com, with 992 pages, and at http://www.blu-ray.com. As time went on the Blu-Rays that did not play on the Pioneer, that had worked before with no problems are The Magnificent Seven, Cop Out, Miami Vice, Public Enemies, Never Say Never Again(sometime works sometime don't), Spy Game, Apocalypse Now, Die Hard With A Vengeance(sometime works sometime don't), and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I Have not try all of my Blu-Rays in the player. Sometime new ones I get will not play the first time in the player like Taken, Pulp Fiction, Rounders, X-Men: First Class and The Guns Of Navarone. Sometime there are new one that will still play first time in the player, like Cowboy And Aliens. It just will it still play as time go by say two and half months later.

What the people on the two forums have said was either one of these is the problem

The laser lens is dirty (Use a Blu-ray laser lens cleaner to clen it the kind that come with a brush. IF it more stubborn, open up the player and use Q-tip to clean it.)

The laser lens is starting to die

The drive could be starting to die( one person said the drive for the model I have, have known problem)

They say it has nothing to do with the firmware update, which I did do since I updated mine from 1.65 to 1.71 when there was problems with playing True Grit and then to 1.72 when my older Blu-Rays started not to play that use to with no problem. And still the problem is still there for me.

One thing no one have said was how to tell is the laser lens just dirty and it not starting to die at all.

When I told my uncle about it, he told me it parts can't be dying at all. It must be like a record player when there a little piece of bread crum on it, it will not play the record in it right way. I have yet to buy a blu-ray laser lens cleaner and try that. I know all those disc will work in another player. Right now 100% no problems with the DVD and CD side of the Blu-Ray player.

The best thing for you is to ask a home theater expert or store a worker that sell this kind of stuff like at Best Buy and Magnolia Hi-Fi or those good mom and pop kinds. Also try the disc at friend and relative's player to see does it work. Last of all look for forums devoted to your player, and post questions

Can DVD player for mac play disk images?

James H

Is there a plugin or fix available to allow the standard DVD player application in mac to play disk images (mounted from .dmg)? It would be helpful and would remove the need to take all my delicate DVD's on long car trips. :)

Answer
DVD Player.app has this functionality by default. I use it all the time to check DVDs I make in DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. I also use it to time-shift rentals.

Once DVD Player is open, choose File < Open DVD Media. Choose the disk from the sidebar. You don't have to go down to the line to select folders or anything.

Alternatively, you can use Front Row to play the DVD as a disk image. First, you must create an alias of the /Volumes directory in your home folder. Because /Volumes is hidden, you can get to it by activating Finder and selecting Go < Go to Folder and typing /Volumes Option + Command + drag the icon on top of the window to create an alias in your home folder.

You can use a bunch of third party video players, namely VLC to watch DVDs stored in that format, but the concept is that it is a virtual disk, so the OS understands what it is, and what to do with it.

what is the best dvd player for mac?

�ssm

Answer
Do you mean DVD player software? Or a DVD drive?

Mac OS X comes with an application called DVD Player. VLC (free download) is also a good player.

If you mean DVD drive, I'm afraid I can't be of much help since all my Macs have built-in DVD drives.

LINUX: Is it safe to run it from the CD?

Jenny

I am trialling Ubuntu 10.04, using it straight from a "live" disk, without installing it on the hard disk. Is this safe to do, without a firewall or anti-virus? If it is not safe, can I do something to improve security while browsing?
I am using the live disk because I am fed up with Windows, but I don't want to wipe Windows from my PC until I am sure I want to run Linux

Answer
Running Linux from a LiveCD is very safe. In fact I use a Linux Mint 9 LTS LiveCD for tasks such as internet banking when I am out and about

There is much to be said for running from LiveCD/DVD as it runs from the available RAM on a Computer. Performance can be surprisingly good if there is sufficient amount of RAM available (For example 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 the packages mentioned above each time you start a LIVE session

I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 11. Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled.

Linux Mint 11 Download

is a mini dvd camera worth the buy?

proudmomma

pros? cons? can you play the dvd in your computer disc drive even though they are smaller than a regular disc?

Answer
Hai!

Mini DVD disc camcorder is more of a novelty and not meant as a serious medium (Media) for an avid videographer. (This statement came from my experience, I currently have personally use Hi-8, Digital 8, MiniDV, MiniDVD and Hard-disc camcoder)

Pros:
1. You could play it directly on the DVD Player and PC with 'tray' type drive. But you have to finalised your disc.
2. If you use the DVD-RW, you could also reuse the DVD Over and over again after you 'format' the disc.
3. The size of the Disc is small and you could carry a few of them in your pocket.
4. Quite cheap.
5. Simple and shorter time transfering Video to PC for Editing (compared to MiniDV, 1 hour Video requires 1 hour to capture to PC)
6. If you were to archive DVD, the space required are less than tape and the DVD does not prone to fungus and mold and in theory could be kept over 100years.....
7. You could just forward / backward to the scene you shot without rewinding - fast forward like a tape.

Cons:
1. Limited Recording time, High Quality Mode about 20 Minutes. Normal mode about 30 minutes (Some LP Mode 60minutes - Very poor quality)
2. Prone to scratch and loss of data.
3. Using compression technology, some picture details are lost.
4. Not all video editing software able to accept and import video from DVD.
5. Slower to 'get ready' to shoot your video. It takes longer for your DVD Camcoder to start and ready to shoot your video rather than Tape.

You have to check your DVD player if it is able to play a DVD-RW or DVD+RW disc. Some DVD player can only play DVD-R format but not DVD-RW or +RW.

Those DVD player that 'suck' in the Disc won't be able to play the miniDVD, only the tray type able to play. (The same goes with your PC DVD drive)

I Hope this will help you.

Best Regards.

Camcorder mini-DVDs dont play on regular DVD players?

yjalil

I am a bit of a tech novice, so thi smay be a stupid question. The minin DVDs i recorded on my camcorder play fine in the camcorder, but dont play on DVD players. I was told when i bought the camcorder that mini-DVDs should be playable directly on DVD players. I have tried plugging the mini-DVDs into a few different DVD players which have a 3.5" slot for min DVDs but none of them seem to be able to play these min DVDs. what am i doing wrong?

Answer
If you have a mini dvd camcorderâ¦.
You will have to finalize your dvd in the camera and then put the dvd in your computer's DVD burner (top loading only) and then you will have to convert the files (I downloaded handbrake file converter free) and import them into your editing program. Use the HELP feature in your editing program to learn about editing. Once you are ready to burn, your project will be burned to a different DVD and you can file the original away.

Is there a battery-powered NTSC TV tuner on sale in North America suitable for use with a portable DVD player?

Telidon

Answer
That depends on the model, I once had a portable Toshiba model that had an optional tv tuner add on. There is the option of using some a generic tuner if your player has a "video input" feature, but as for battery powered tuners I don't know whether or not there are any

There are a couple things to consider though:
1) By 2011 (I think), in the US they will no longer have over-the-air analog television signals, only HD signals which require a digital tuner. Even if you do find an add-on, I have my doubts it would support HDTV (could be wrong though)

2) Most portable dvd screens I've seen don't even support full DVD resolution (720x480), usually something a little better than half that. HDTV is much higher resolution, you might get a clear signal but won't be looking its best on a portable dvd screen

My advice would be to get a portable tv in the meantime instead. Since analog tv will be cut off in a few years, I'll bet used ones sell pretty cheaply on ebay.

How To Put A DVD Player In A Car?

what's the best dvd player in the market?

anddv8u

Answer
If you have an HDTV check out Oppo Digital (www.oppodigital.com). They have a DVD player that is relatively cheap and will upconvert the DVD to HD resolutions. It doesn't look as good as real HD, but I can see a definite improvement over a regular DVD player.

is there a better DVD player on the market right now, that's better than the PS3?

Q. With Blu Ray being the industry standard now, and the powerful console that Ps3 is, with the best graphics ever, what DVD player could possibly be better than that?

Answer
None... there is no DVD player ( or even a stand alone Blu-Ray player) better than the PlayStation PS3.

What makes the PS3 so much better is that the unit has it's own video graphics card and faster processor chip. Have the hard-drive to store data It's basically a mini computer capable of playing Blu-ray.

Problem while playing movies on DVD Player?

vinay

When I put 2-3 movies(downloaded from the internet) in a pen drive and then play them on a DVD player attached to a TV, the movie plays for about 9 seconds and then there is something written on the left corner of screen -- Single Elapsed and the movie stops. This happened for around half the movies earlier but now it happens for EACH and EVERY movie. They play normal in my laptop. This ain't a problem of the pen drive(I got 2 different ones and also tried playing the movies in a CD) . Nor is it my DVD player( tried the CD on another DVD player on a different TV). It isn't the file format which I have already tried converting.

Any idea what it is? Can it be something like a piracy detection thingy ?

Answer
You should write the detailed Brand & Model of your DVD player, and can get the exact answer. And as I know, no dvd player can play any formats downloaded movies, most usb dvd players only support divx or xvid avi movies, like my dvd player have a usb port too, but it only can be used to play divx avi movies well on pen drive through the usb port, can't play other format movies well, so you need to use a right software to convert your downloaded movies to right format, then save the right format movies to your usb pen drive and play well on your dvd player, you can follow me to use RZ DVD Creator, works well on my comptuer, it can directly convert any movies to Divx or xvid avi files, it can save the converted files on harddrive or usb pen drive, or directly burn the converted files to any DVD disc, such as convert any downloaded movies to divx or xvid avi files, I don't know the exact brand and model of your dvd player, so can't give your a exact answer, you just need to try divx or xvid avi movies, one of them is right. You can yahoo or google search RZ DVD Creator and download it, easy to use, hope it can help you.

Nero 9 is asking me to burn movies in PAL format or NTSC?? which one should i use....?

monts_mont

i am trying to burn this movie that i have on my computer and Nero 9 is telling me that most of the parts are in PAL format but i can use NTSC .....something ... so which format are the movie DVD's usually.

Answer
China (excluding Hong Kong), India, Pakistan and other countries use PAL standard, the United States, Japan, China Taiwan, South Korea, use NTSC,but I think it depend on where you live ,nero is good at burning data dvd ,so if you want to burn any movies to dvd and can play well on regular dvd player ,you can try RZ DVD Creator ,now i am using it ,i think its better than nero , it can directly convert any movies(all formats) to standard video DVD and burn to any DVD disc(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, etc), and the burned DVD can be played well on home DVD player.

Can model BD530 blueray player stream netflix?

Sharon L

Answer
hello heres the specs for your bluray no it wont stream netflix!!!!!!!!!!http://www.lg.com/us/tv-audio-video/video/LG-blu-ray-dvd-player-BD530.jsp

i have hd vizio tv and sony blu-ray dvd player. What do I have to get to stream netflix movies?

penelope

I don't have wi-fi. Do I need wi-fi. How do I get it. What do I need? Where can I get it to stream netflix?

Answer
model numbers of your devices would be helpful. Check the specs of your Blu ray player to see if it can run Netflix. You also need an internet connection for your device. Again check your blu ray player to see what type of internet connection it supports. Most have wired connections, other have built in wireless or the option to add wireless with a dongle that must be purchased separately.

Check out your router or modem to see what connections it supports.

Hi which Toshiba HD-DVD player should I buy for my "50" Hitachi HDTV/LCD & it is 1080i resolution?

GAMER VET

Hi I want to buy Toshiba HD-DVD player. Since my HDTV it is 1080i resolution & I am looking for cost less then $220.

Thank you!
Please don't tell me to buy the blu-ray instead! I choose HD-DVD & everyone has different taste. I also don't care of the format war either! The format war will be over in the next 9 yrs.

Answer
HD DVD is the better choice for HD disks ... more capable player and stable/final specification. I've also read that HD DVD players are better upscaling DVD players for when you want to watch DVDs. Ignore all the brainwashed blu-ray fans!

That said you really only have one choice if you want the Toshiba name on it ... the HD-A3 (and since you only have a 1080i HDTV it's all you need.

However, there is another option -- the Venturer SHD7000 -- $198 at Walmart. In reality it is a rebranded HD-A3 so it's really a Toshiba. The only consideration is the "free" disk offer. As I understand it the real Toshiba qualifies for more movies, so the price difference (based on what price you can find the HD-A3 at) may be the deciding factor. Your choice. The link is to the SHD7000 owners thread at AVS Forum.

Is a up converting DVD player worth buying, does it work good with a HDTV?

Q. Is a up converting DVD player worth buying, does it work good with a HDTV?

Answer
Upconverting DVD players (or blu-ray players for that matter) are only worthwhile if you have a HDTV. They will do nothing to enhance your image on a regular TV.

Since blu-ray players will also upconvert DVDs on HDTVs, the only reason to buy just an upconverting DVD player instead of a blu-ray player is the fact that upconverting DVD players are under $50 whereas blu-ray players are about $150.

Resetting region settings for mac dvd player?

Shabnoor S

Alright so the mac OS X dvd player only lets you change your region settings five times. I have used up those five times and i can't find a way around it, though i know there must be one.

I would really appreciate it if someone knew how to reset the dvd player.

Answer
Every DVD player (that includes the one in your computer) is sold being able to play only discs with the same region as the country it was sold in,that includes Macs too.On a new Mac, the DVD drive is automatically locked to the region code of the first DVD it is used with. From then on, this can only be changed four more times.Here you can find more information about how to play different region DVD on your mac:

Can a Phillips portable DVD player connect to mac?

Karan

I have got lots films on discs I wanted to know if I can connect my DVD player to my computer(mac) and be able to record them so that I can keep them on my Hardrive
By CDs I mean old memories

Answer
If you mean the kind of thing that looks a bit like a laptop which you put a DVD into and then watch it on its screen, no, that won't connect to your Mac.

What you need is a DVD drive - are you sure your Mac doesn't already have a slot where you can insert a CD/DVD? If it does, great - if not you can buy an external drive you can plug into USB, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Writer-External-Optical-Drive/dp/B003M0NT1M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1365693911&sr=1-1&keywords=usb+dvd+drive

Once you have the DVD in the computer or in a drive connected to the computer, you can copy it to your hard drive. If it's a data CD or DVD just copy the files to your hard drive - but if it's an audio CD, use iTunes to "rip" the music into files on your hard drive, or if it's a DVD with movies/videos, use the instructions here: http://mac.appstorm.net/how-to/video-how-to/how-to-rip-dvds-into-itunes/

How to connect dvd player to wireless network?

ricky c

I have a sony dvd player in my living room. The dvd play only has hdmi and ethernet inputs and supports Netflix. I was wondering how to connect the dvd player to the wireless modem i have in the other room. I'm completely lost.

Answer
Your DVD Player doesn't have wireless capabilities, but supports a network connection. You have several options

1. Move your router
2. Move your DVD player
3. Run a long cable to the router
4. Buy yourself one of those wireless devices that'll give you a jack right there at the player
5. Set a laptop near the player & ad hoc the network
6. Wire your entire house with network (be sure to put a jack by the player)
7. Buy a wireless dvd player & sell the one you got
8. Setup an additional router as a repeater & set it next to your player
9. Scrap the idea all together, go get a roku or a ps3 to watch netflix
10. That's bout all I got right now.

What video format do portable DVD players play?

Q. im a making a DVD 2 play on my portable DVD and i .AVI and .MP4 and they dont work

what format should i convert my vids 2 next for it 2 work on my player?

i have the model polaroid dvd player pdv-0713B

Answer
All DVD players play the DVD-Video format, which is a DVD-specific format which uses MPEG, but is far different than simply dropping an MPEG file onto a DVD-R.

Others play DivX or XViD AVIs, but probably no others.. AVI is really a computer format, since it's just a container.. there can be any kind of video or audio inside. A computer can see something it doesn't know, ask you to download it, etc. A DVD player doesn't have room for downloads, even if it did have the internet connection.

You need to create a DVD-Video disc in order to play this on you Polaroid. It does suppoort DVD-R/RW... but it still needs to be a DVD-Video disc. This requires some kind of DVD creation or authoring program.

If you're technically inclined, you can find some free tools to help with this on http://www.videohelp.com. but they can be a bit complex to use. They also have a list of commerical and shareware apps on VideoHelp.

I need a wall charger for a portable DVD player. I have the car adapter, which says 9.5v DC.?

someguy200

Where can I find a wall adapter to charge it? Is the V the same?

Answer
Radio Shack is a good place to look for DC power supplies. A 9.5v supply would be best but if that is not available then a 9v one will probably work just fine.

Bring the DVD player to the store and make sure that the connector on the wall power supply fits the connector on the player. Also, note that the connector has an inside and an outside lead. Be sure to check that the polarity (whether + is on the inside or outside lead) of the DVD player and the power supply connector match. This should be marked on the DVD player near the power connector and on the main part of the wall power supply. Do not connect the wrong polarity because it might damage the DVD player.

will this dvd player fit in my car?

cetm1990

i have a 2009 Toyota Corolla and i want to take out the stock radio and install the Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD. it says on amazon it wont fit but i have a feeling it will, like why wouldn't it?? its a 7in double din and i know on ebay, they have the dash cover for it, such as, http://cgi.ebay.com/2009-TOYOTA-COROLLA-DOUBLE-DIN-RADIO-DASH-KIT-CMBO-8223-/360267162222?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e198a26e#ht_3615wt_907

what do the car experts say? i really want this type of DVD player

Answer
best way to know for sure pull out the stock head unit and measure the void to see if the dvd has the room to fit. looking at pics online it looks like the pioneer dvd player will fit you may need to reroute some wires behind the head unit

car DVD player?who have good recommends?appreciated?

Mktbze Axi

I bought a new car last week ,and I always feel lack of sth,and now I know that there is no DVD player,so who can give me some good shops online,I am eager to buy one to make my car more lively,thanks

Answer
Portable DVD players were created in order to aid the ability to watch DVDs away from home. They were created in 1998. They are practical for on the go use, and many perform secondary functions such as playing music from audio CDs and displaying images from digital cameras or camcorders.
Most PDPs have an LCD or LED screen attached to them. The most common PDP screen size is 7 inches (18 cm), although some are as large as 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30 cm). Some have swivel-screens that rotate 180 degrees & fold flat. Portable DVD players generally connections for additional screens and a car lighter plug.

Some PDPs now have iPod docks, USB and SD Card slots built in. Some can play videos in other formats such as MP4, DivX, JPEG and PNG either from CD's, flash memory cards or external hard disks. Also some DVD players include a USB video recorder.

is my laptop's dvd player dead?

amer_almoh

hi

i have a Toshiba satellite, its about 14month old.

recently it has been making funny noses every time i use the dvd player, many times it would not even read many of my dvds. lately it had not been reading anything at all, though when i use the same dvd on my other laptop, they work fine!

is my dvd player dead ? is there a way to test the dvd palyer ? is there a why to fix or change the dvd player with out of getting a new laptop ?

Answer
My Toshiba's DVD player died every Christmas for 3 years. Fortunately, I bought a 3 year warranty so each DVD replacement was free and included a free loaner. After the last warranty service, I sold the machine and bought a new HP with a new 3 year warranty. On day 31, the DVD died again.

The DVD dies in stages. First, it stops writing, then it stops reading, finally it stops ejecting.

If you don't have an external HD for backup, backup to DVDs while the DVD is still working. If you arent under warranty, the replacement DVD may cost a few hundred dollars.

You'll see a list of devicesâdouble-click DVD/CD-ROM drives the right-click the DVD drive that you want to change region settings for then choose Properties.

On the "DVD Region" tab change it to the region you want (1).

Region 1: U.S., Canada, U.S. Territories
Region 2: Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Middle East (including Egypt)
Region 3: Southeast Asia and East Asia (including Hong Kong)
Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Central America, Mexico, South America, and the Caribbean
