Region Free DVD player question.?

Q. What is the best region free DVD player (NOT blu gay) player for a Panasonic TV?

Answer
For DVD, I don't think it really matters anymore. My father in law has one from iView and has yet to find a disc it can't play. I think he got it at some random Chinese bookstore for $35 or so. You can find them online as well.

I had an OPPO brand player (they're made in the US!) but it died. Pity, because it was an excellent DVD player.

I replaced the OPPO with a region free blu-ray player from Orei for $150 or so. OPPO no longer makes region-free DVD players, and their region-free blu-ray player is still $500. (but it's really nice!)

Do computers sold in Hong Kong have region-free DVD players?

Q. I am aware that DVD players (the type you connect to a TV) sold in Hong Kong are mostly region-free.

Is the same true for computers sold in Hong Kong?

Thanks for your answers!

Answer
NO, all of the DVD drives have an encoded region, However... you can load the DVD region free software that bypasses the region code and then they will play any region. Go to: http://www.dvdidle.com/

Is the Sony Blu-ray dvd player worth buying?

asdf

We have a 46'in Sony Bravia and the picture is not all that clear. Especially some of the dvd's. And if we get this blu-ray dvd player from sony. Would it really be worth buying, is it really clear. Is it worth buying. ????
Well none of your answers really helped. We are just going to get the blu-ray dvd player tomorrow. Because it's going to be 179 tomorrow at K-Mart.

Answer
Your mind is made up, BUT here's my '2 cents'
If your current setup doesn't look very good you may have a setting or cable issue. For example, are you using HDMI (or Component) cables? If not that alone will degrade the signal.

Potential improvement depends on what TV you have. You say Sony Bravia, but not whether it is 720p or 1080p.

If you have am 1080p model it will benefit from Blu-ray. If you can get it for a good price go for the Sony stand alone Blu-ray player (it may not be the cheapest or the most versatile (cf PS3), but it's an OK player and all you need to enjoy HD movies). Make sure you use HDMI to connect (and don't worry about buying expensive cables ... any Category 2 certified HDMI 1.3 cable <$20) would be a good choice (See monoprice.com)

On the other hand if you have a 720p/1080i HDTV you won't get that much improvement over an up-converting DVD player (at least a medium > high end one ... i.e. ~$70 or more). If you want to be future proof and can afford the extra the Blu-ray player can't hurt ... just don't expect a big video quality improvement vs the upscaling DVD player.

Final comment: Blu-ray may be worthwhile to you, but expect to pay a premium for the disks vs the same movie on DVD (Blu-ray disks are more expensive to buy or rent) and that's not going to change due to higher licensing and production costs.

Enjoy whatever you buy.

""Windows Media Player Cannot Play DVD..You Might Need to Adjust your Screen Resolution or Display Properties""

my screen resolution is the Highest
1024 x 768 pixels

if I'll use the Low ,Lower or the Lowest
it doesn't fit on my screen


What should I do....Please Help Me..

thks

****************************************************************************

please do not include bad answers like Vista Sucks
coz I also know that
or
an alternative player

thanks

Answer
You do not want an alternative player. Why not. Windows Media Player sucks and I could go on a trip around the world when I was given a dollar for everytime somebody had trouble with wmp. You have to download all kind of codecs etc and then you still can't be sure. Leave wmp alone as soon as possible and make your live easy.
I will recommend an alternative player anyway.. Gomplayer. It is free and plays all file types, audio, dvd's without having to download anything.
Go to preferences -- Others -- select All File Types and Codecs.
As a nice bonus you can make nice pictures (screen captures) of the video (DVD) you are watching.
Right click on player for menu then Control Panel (F7). Click on CP or hit F7. Now youl can make screen captures.
It is up to you whether to keep on struggling with wmp or download Gomplayer

Where do they sell portable DVD players for under 100 dollars?

Burnt_Cook

Answer
Do they make 'players' anymore? Get a recorder.

For my computer, I got a 16-speed DVD Burner DOUBLE-LAYER for $32.00 after rebate, at Target.

Is this for a PC?

If not I got one that records right off of a TV signal (it has a TUNER built-in actually), cablebox, CamCorder, or satellite. Onto a Blank DVD. For $97.00 at Sam's Club. It is a Magnavox, and makes perfect DVDs that play on other DVD players.

For $200.00 Target has one that also plays DIVX!!!!

I use DVDRW, so I can erase them. Good for recording TV shows and stuff.

phillps corp. HD DVD home player?

Nickandsha

looking for my factory codes my player requires.

Answer
Philips didn't make an HD DVD player so I assume you mean Blu-Ray player. I don't know exactly which factory codes you mean but I assume you mean codes to make a different device's remote control operate a Philips Blu-Ray. If that is the case you will need to be specific about what remote control you have. Those codes are determined by the remotes manufacturer and not Philips so every remote that may have the right codes may use a different code to program it.
Unless you mean that you have a Philips remote control and need the codes to operate an HD DVD player. Then I would still need to know what remote you are using. With so few HD DVD players having been released there is a good chance Toshiba used the same operational codes to operate them all.
I Need some specifics.

Can you play HD DVDs in a regular DVD player?

Cinthia

No if it's an actual HD DVD format it will not play in anything but an HD player. (The HD FORMAT not just 1080 resolution)

SIMS 3 Installing issues, please advise- Internet connection and origin account required to play?

Anna

Hi, I recently received Sims 3 as a gift. However I have noticed there are two versions of the base game: the 2009 release (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sims-PC-Mac-DVD/dp/B0015YDH6O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1364158654&sr=8-2) and the 2012 release (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Sims-3-PC-DVD/dp/B00AHRD69S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1364158654&sr=8-1).

I have the latest version which states "internet connection, origin account, acceptance of product and origin end user license agreements, installation of the origin client software, registration with enclosed single-user serial codes and the latest sims 3 patch required to play."

This concerns me as I really would prefer to be able to install the game from the disc without needing origin, so if at any time in the future I want to install the game and origin is not available for whatever reason then it doesn't matter as the game will still work without it. Also I do not like the idea of having to download the game online, as this could be a real time-consuming hassle and makes me confused about the point of buying the disc at all.

I was told that I won't need origin or the internet to install and run the game I have, but from my understanding from what the package says I have been misinformed. However I could be worrying about nothing so if anyone could advise me that would be great. I've only ever played Sims 2 so this is all new to me.

Answer
You don't need origin to play. Origin is just the game connecting to the sims website through the internet. (Basically connecting with other players, buying in game accessories with real money, and sharing your in-game activities with FB or the sims website.) You do not need to connect to origin nor do you need an account.

I don't believe you'll need Internet to install the game since you have it on CD, but you will need the Internet to update with the current patches. Patches fix bugs in the game and generally make the game better. (A recent patch made the movement of the horse's legs in Sims 3 Pets look more natural.) You can check the website to see what exactly the patches are doing.

LCD TV question. HD ready.?

Zou

I want to buy HD ready lcd TV (resolution 1366x768 and not full HD with 1080p). IS MY OPINION CORRECT?

I do not have good quality/HDsources (DVDs, BluRays), because I rather download a 700 MB or rather 1.5 GB ripped films. In my country HD TV will be compulsory from 2012, and I am not intended to watch local TV ( I watch only Standard definition (480p) Free-to air satellite TV channels that I am interested in). I do not have BluRay player, and it's unlikely I will buy any original BR discs.
I am very visual person and bad pixeling disturbs me very much, so I am rather willing to spend for a sub HD lcd TV to have watchable TV channels on it than buy a popular full HD TV and suffer watching crap pixels.

What do you think? I consider brands like Sony, Toshiba, Sharp. In Hungary now I see Sharp LC37D44E and Toshiba 37AV635. Also Sharp LC42AD5( but an old 2005 model). I tend for Toshiba. What do you think?

Their price is the same as full HD, butprice is not important. I have now a 29" Sony CRT, great TV, but need a flat TV also and would be happy with 40" or 42 " TV, but 37" is what is available now :( whiich is still okay.

Answer
1 ) you ideal / concept is right , if ref to BUDGET / COST . but if you are looking into total display / colours quality and smooth pictures as you Sony old CRT TV , you are " wrong ". you away some important issue about LCD TV / motion blur / resolution between 720P / 1080P .
2 ) Technically , the only source provide full HD signals is via blu-ray . also our eye will not getting any resolution difference from an screen size below 40 inc TV.
is mean , if we don't watch movies from blu-ray , need not 1080P TV / or even via blu-ray movies from an screen size below 40 inc TV , 720P models is enough .
Remember , TV maker understand such issue more than any other and yet come out 1080P models from 32 inc . also consumer demand for 1080P models ( 32 inc onward ) is great , i should said mose of them who own 1080P TV do not watch blu-ray movies . still more to DVD and cable TV / free view on air channel that only provide 720P resolution .
all consumer are smart , no once paid more for nothings for sure .
3 ) The only reason is " total quality ".
TV maker take 720P models as standard entry level models , every designs are very standard ,( video circuit / refresh rate as 60 HZ .. ) because consider of selling prices !
TV maker take 1080P models as Mid or High End models.
to Support 1080P display , need difference / better grade LCD display panel . those LCD display panel use for 720P unable to use for 1080P models . somethings like low end PC monitor VS high end PC monitor !
to support better resolution display need better designs Video Enhance circuit . ( TV video circuit Amp = PC Graphics card ) ! somethings like low prices standard PC graphics card VS High End PC graphics card , any difference ?
4 ) to cover the motion blur due to LCD display response time , need fast refresh rate and fast response time display panel.
those 720P HD ready models use 6ms or even more response time display panel and 60HZ refresh rate . is really bad to sports movies / game ( any moving fast image ) , such " blur " usually make our eye uncomfortable . ( but some people okay )
TV maker only provide 120HZ ( even 240HZ ) into 1080P models also use lower as 4ms /5ms response time display panel ( some new hi end models even go for 2ms ) .
120 HZ refresh rate provide more smooth pictures than 60 HZ . but available in mid / high end models. is mean you unable to get 720P HD ready models with 120 HZ refresh rate.
5 ) Finally , this and that always make 1080P models much better in total pictures quality .
unless , you just need an TV . never demand for quality .
WARNING .
none of any LCD TV reach old CRT TV colours / smooth quality . if you change / upgrade from CRT TV to LCD TV , especial low end LCD TV models. you will be disappointed or need sometimes to accept it.
CRT TV rich in colour display / pure dark-black colours , LCD TV will NOT. ( high end models look better ).
CRT TV with out motion blur issue , LCD TV need high end models with 120 HZ to cover it.
Budget allow , LED TV ( LCD -LED back light ) really close to CRT quality. but cost much more.
for 40 inc and above , Panasonic Plasma is BEST in pictures quality amd PRICES. new Panasonic Plasma with out burn in / over heat / high power consumption issue.
^^^
Samsung / LG / Sharp / Sony / Panasonic / Toshiba manufactures quality / reliable LCD / LED TV.
6^^^
what is motion blur >
http://www.lcdtvreviews.org.uk/articles/relevance-of-response-time-in-rendering-picture-quality/
ADVICE. if my answer too technically , forget about " technical issue ".
LCD TV. go for 1080P 120 HZ models. very sure , if you use to Sony CRT TV, you never accept standard 720P 60 HZ LCD TV even not for blu-ray. is total quality that you need.

In France, do most families have DVD players or VHS players?

Q. I am going to stay with a French family for a short period of time and am making a slideshow of some photos for them. However, I don't know if they'll be more likely to be able to play a DVD or a VHS. I know nothing about the family (such as technological/socioeconomic status) and cannot ask them myself. What should I bring?

Answer
I would bring a DVD. The French are on about the same level with Americans on DVD usage. VHS can still be rented, but DVDs are more commonplace. Be careful, though. The French use a different encoding standard than the US for video/movie disks. To be 100% safe, use something that can easily be played on a PC with Windows. If it doesn't work in the DVD player, then you have a back-up on the laptop/desktop computer.

Download DVD Player for Wii?

tarikyamee

I am having a lot of trouble downloading a DVD player on my Wii. I have downloaded the Homebrew channel with the Twilight hack, and then I put mPlayer on my sd card. I can run that. I know that to play dvds i have to install DVDx. When i go to install it, It doesn't install. I chose the normal install because i dont have any modchips installed. It all goes smoothly until the last two steps.

I get this error message:
Error -2011 installing DVD Stub ticket
Error -2011 installing stub

After researching these issues on the internet for a few weeks, I know this is a common error that "should be fixed somtime soon with an update." Yada yada.

Maybe someone here had any advice that they have found to work. Or, is the Homebrew route the only way to get DVD's to play on a Wii?

what is better as a dvd player xbox or playstation 2?

Q. actually the xbox dvd remote i can buy it now on ebay brand new for $5.30

Answer
Why PS2, why not PS3. It's a way better console, better games, and plays Blu-Ray movies. Ok it may be a little more expensive but it will be worth it in the end.
Between the end of this year and 2012 they will be switching of ALL tv channels for analog TV's and the only way you will get a signal is if you have a tv with a HD tuner.

www.parliament.uk/documents/upload/postpn264.pdf

this link is from the UK, but i've seen articles from the US and from where i live in Australia about Analog signals been turned of.

also DVD's and DVD players will cease to exist, Blu-Ray will do what dvd's did to tapes.

In the short run it's probably a lot to waste in your eyes.
But in the long run it's going to be your only option.
Until Xbox installs Blu-Ray players and buys shares from Sony over it.

Do laptop dvd players play dvd's from any region?

Becky

Ok very strange and nerdy question, long story on why I want to know. Im not evenb really sure what is meant by the term region I have an advent if that helps.

Answer
No.
DVD players play from one region at a time. You can reset that region 4 times, before the firmware disables that particular DVD drive. It does not matter if it is a laptop DVD drive or a desktop DVD drive.

It does not matter if your laptop is an Advent, or a Toshiba, or an Acer or a Dell.

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.

Buying a portable dvd player?

poodle

I want to buy one as a present for my husband for when he flys on business (which is often) but I don't want to spend loads on it at all. What is a good deal and what do I need to look for in a portable dvd player? What features should it have and what size should it be etc.

Answer
When shopping for a portable DVD player, keep in mind how you will be using the device. For example, if you plan to use a portable solely in the car to keep the kids occupied on long road trips, then the screen size and the inclusion of an AC adapter, which will allow you to power the player via your vehicle's power outlet, are more important than the unit's weight or the life expectancy of the battery. Conversely, if you are buying a portable DVD player to take with you on long flights, look for a lightweight model with plenty of battery life. If you usually travel with a spouse or colleague, or if you have two kids, opt for a model with dual headphone jacks and a larger screen size so two people can comfortably enjoy a movie while sitting next to each other.

can a Panasonic - 9" Widescreen Portable DVD Player play video games?

Sandi

Answer
When you say 'play video games' do you mean hook up a game system and display it on the dvd player screeen? If so, the the answer is maybe. It can IF the portable dvd player has video INPUT. Almost all of them have video OUTPUTS but only a few have video INPUTS. So if your Panasonic portable DVD player has video input then yes you can hook up a game system and display it on the screen.

However if you mean take a video game disk and put it in the player and play the game - only if the player supports that and I don't know of any that does.

Self editing DVD players?

I am thinking of getting one of those self editing dvd players but i'm not sure if it actually works. In all honesty it looks t good to be true. I learned how it works but i'm wondering if they actually take out everything or if they only take out a few scenes to say its edited.

Also i am looking for a cheap one, including any subscriptions, but quality is more important.

Please help, and thankyou in advance.
Not really looking for one that i can edit myself but one that comes preedited. Like you hook it to the internet and it will skip scenes automatically. Thanks anyway though.

DVD player problems. Copy protection??? WTF!!!?

wesellwaym

Whenever I try n play a dvd it comes up with an error that says something like copy protection error between drive and decoder and player or something like that. Then, even more stupidly it doesnt have this problem when I actually do play pirate DVDS!!!! Whats going on here? Is there a codec I need?

Answer
you can switch to another dvd player program, like VLC player, it is free and able to play all dvd and regular video files
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

you can also rip the dvd to computer in reuglar video formats, thus you can play it in windows media player/quicktime
You can use wondershare dvd ripper platinum, it is able to rip dvds to computer in 1:1. it is also capable to save dvd to computer in regular video format.
Not like some ordinary DVD rippers, wondershare can rip even copyright protected DVDs, so just give it a shot.
http://www.dvdtopreviews.com/dvd-ripper-review-windows/wondershare-dvd-ripper-platinum.html

Some DVD recorders require that you 'finalise' the disc when all your recordings are finished. Also, not all DVD players/recorders will recognise the same type/manufacturer of DVD media.

DVD/VHS player?

jerryreed1

i want a DVD/VHS player that will record my old VSH to DVD?
is there suck thing?

if so can you guys tell me some sites that sell them?

thanks

Answer
Hi jerryreed13,

You can buy a combination VHS/DVD recorder everywhere. WalMart carries several kinds. The simplest and best way is to simply get a DVD recorder. You can find them everywhere for less then $100. You will feed the output of your VHS player into the input of your DVD recorder to copy tapes.

If you are wanting to copy pre recorded tapes you will need to bypass the copy guard. It is legal as long as you are backing up your own tapes.

Then you will need a device like "Sima T120 GoDVD". It removes the copy guard and enhances the picture. You plug your source into it and plug it into the input of your recorder.

Here is an example of one - http://www.heartlandamerica.com/browse/item.asp?PIN=54817&

Another one that will work is the Digital Video Stabilizer. They work like a charm. Go here to read about and see an example - http://www.qualitekindustries.com/vidstab.html

Media player for Windows 7?

Unknown

What are some good media players for Windows 7? (No iTunes 11)

Answer
Hi, For audio there's winamp media player, songbird, media monkey, foobar2000, and so on. Daum potplayer below is made by the same guy who made the famous kmplayer. Links below

For video the best players are VLC media player by videolan, media player classic home cinema, kmplayer, daum potplayer, smplayer, or gom player. My favorite is VLC and daum potplayer. They both play pretty much anything including DVD's with their own codecs. If you set all the settings in daum potplayer to your liking it is the best player.

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (Official site of VLC player by videolan. Free and virus free! It will download from sourceforge.) Pay attention while installing, if you don't want files associated with VLC then uncheck that option during setup. If you want after installing you can right click on the video file and choose to play with VLC.

To play DVD with VLC - open VLC - in taskbar at top click on media - then click open disk.

http://www.dvbsupport.net/download/index.php?act=view&id=230 (Daum Potplayer latest stable version. Click on the big blue button to download it. You don't have to install the potplayer live files and you can ignore the directx update message.

After installing open it up and right click on it - in the video tab - set video renderer to overlay mixer for some computers. You may want to change the aspect ratio options also. You can manage file associations - right click - preferences - association tab.

To play a DVD with potplayer - right click on it on the second open tab popout click "open DVD' or on the last tab to open your "CD/DVD" drive

I hope this helps you out. Good luck!
