How do you use windows media player on windows 7?

Dave

I just bought a new laptop (h.p) and I want to put all my music cd's on my computer. I never had problems with WMP on Windows XP or previous editions. But now I can't figure it out. I put a cd in and it starts playing. I click stop. There is no option to copy. And when I click "rip" and gives me an error message. I can't even drag the songs onto another folder or my desktop or anything. What do I do? Please help, how do I copy songs from a CD on to my computer? It really shouldn't be this hard. WTF? I'm seconds away from throwing my laptop out the window and beating it with a bat. This is beyond aggravating. I thought windows 7 was suppose to be easier???????????

Answer
Did you buy the DVD? If you did, there is a very large chance it is protected with DRM and cannot have any of the information copied or changed. Really, DON'T TRUST WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER!
If it works, try copying the files in the DVD to your Documents folder or your C drive. This should work. Then, try playing it with VLC Media Player (find it online). Since the file should be a .vob file, it should play perfectly fine on VLC.
When you click "rip", WMP would think that you are trying to burn a video to a DVD. Instead, you are playing directly FROM the DVD that the file is from, so you would get an error.
For Windows XP and lower: To copy, click Start, then My Computer. Then right-click the DVD and click Explore. Click the .vob files in the DVD and copy them (Ctrl + C). Then go to you destination folder and Paste it (Ctrl + V).
For Windows Vista or higher: To copy, click the Windows logo in the bottom left, then Computer. Then right-click the DVD and click Explore. Click the .vob files in the DVD and copy them (Ctrl + C). Then go to you destination folder and Paste it (Ctrl + V).
There you go! Note: Windows 7 is actually a little more frustrating, because many programs don't work with it. Just get used to it.

cheap portable dvd player with long battery life?

doobycore

hi there, was looking at getting a reasonably cheap portable dvd player to use on the airplane. I'm really hoping for one that has a battery life of over 5 hours. is that possible? and if not, is there ones you can get that you can have lots of spare batteries for? i could just take 3 or 4 spare batteries on the plane and keep changing them one after another!

Answer
A typical battery would last about a move. You would need more batteries, and that is not really cheap.

You should investigate the possibility of powering it from the airplane power system.

Will ge 5803p dvd show karaoke graphics?

AARON RAY

I just purchased a GE Model 5803p dvd player from E Bay and was told by seller that it was tested
and showed only the track number and disk # but no graphics ! I know all jacks are correct because I have a small karaoke boom box type player which does show graphics when hooked up to tv. I also put a regular dvd movie in ge player and that played movie and sound correctly! I also forgot to say sound from karaoke cdg disk does play correctly and so doe mic .input in front of dvd player! I think I was informed wrong to what the dvd player could do,I will sell it to someone else if it doesn't work for my purpose but would work good for just movies or music and will play burned
mp3 format cd's!

Answer
CDG is not a video format and only DVD players that are designed to play CDG discs (multi-format karaoke disc players) will play them. The GE 5803p will not play CDG discs.

Is it possible to turn my dvd player into a karaoke machine? If so, How do I do it?

Andi

Where can I buy the CD's or DVD's and Microphones?

Answer
Your DVD player will play only DVD and VCD karaoke discs but not CDG discs which are the most popular type and offer the most song titles. Also your DVD player does not have mic inputs or features like digital key control. You would be much better off purchasing a multi-format karaoke disc player.

car dvd player?

J H

hi, my 2002 dodge grand caravan has a factory installed mopar dvd player.....a few months ago it only wants to play kids dvds. i'm thinking a setting was changed. i know how to get into the menu but don't know the codes. Help!!??!! thanks.-

I'd guess the setting is something around content protection. Sounds like your kids may have changed a setting. I'm not familiar with the specific model, but I am sure if you get in touch with Dodge, even by phone, they will quickly tell you how to fix this.

Should I get a DVD player installed in my new car (for the kids) or get an ipad?

Betsy C.

I have two kids and they like to watch movies on long car trips. I am debating whether to get a flip-down DVD player installed in the back seat or to invest in an ipad. I plan on having the car for 6-7 years. Will DVD's be a thing of the past by then? Can I get wireless headphones for the ipad?

Answer
I have used both flip-down DVD players and my iPad on car rides, and there are a lot of pros and cons to each. I'll list many of them here.

DVD Player Pros:

-They're usually less expensive, for one thing. Most are from $50-$300, while the iPad ranges from $499-$829 (depending on storage size and whether it has AT&T's 3G service or not).

-If you have an extensive DVD collection already and get a DVD player, then you don't have to get or set up anything else in order to see your movies- pop in your DVD and press play!

-DVD players are probably pretty durable in the hands of little kids because many DVD players (at least the ones that I've used) are made of hard metal or plastic (depends on the device though).

-DVD players are also pretty lightweight and portable (again, depends on the device).

DVD Player Cons:

-If the car trip is more than two hours long, you would need to bring more than one DVD, and DVDs can get scratched, broken, and take up a lot of space when in their cases.

-Watching movies is the only thing that a DVD player can do.

-Speaking from my experience only, many DVD players don't usually have a terrific battery life (a few hours).

-And they obviously have very small screens.

iPad Pros:

-The iPad wins hands down on screen size. Its dimensions are 9.56 by 7.47 inches, delivering an incredible HD viewing experience when you see the video in landscape mode.

-The iPad has what's known as in-plane switching technology, which gives it a wide viewing angle so that everybody in the back seat can see the movie- no more shouldering to get a better look at a movie on a tiny screen.

-You can buy multiple movies and TV shows from iTunes for $9.99-$14.99 each (or rent them for 30 days for about $0.99-$4.99 each) and download them directly onto your iPad (either by moving them from iTunes on your computer to the iPad, or directly from the built-in iPad iTunes app), and the iPad will hold them all easily, unlike a DVD player, which can only read one physical DVD disc at a time.

-There are many iPad apps that view videos too, ranging from the ABC Player (shows you recent episodes of ABC shows for free) to Hulu Plus (shows you 2,000+ episodes of many TV series for $10/month) to Netflix for iPad (allows you to stream thousands of movies on your iPad with a Netflix subscription, which costs anywhere from $4.00-$23.00/month, depending on your plan)

-There are also plenty of other options for non-video entertainment on an iPad once the movies are done; unlike a DVD player, you can play incredible HD games (many of them are free), read children's books on e-reader apps like Amazon's Kindle and Apple's iBooks or interactive one book apps such as Alice for iPad, and, of course, listen to iPod music, just to name a few.

-And the most important pro is that the iPad has a claimed battery life of up to 10 hours without charging, even with videos playing, so it won't die on you in the middle of the car ride (although I've seen it last for closer to 12 hours).

iPad Cons:

-The iPad is a little heavier than a DVD player, at about 1.5 pounds (this might cause your kids' arms to get tired, but you can prop it up with Apple's $30 iPad case).

-The iPad easily reflects direct sunlight and gets VERY smudgy from fingerprints after a while.

-Because it has a backlit screen, the iPad may give your kids eye strain if they view it for too long (although you can turn down the brightness in Settings -> Wallpaper and Brightness).

-It is slippery and its screen or titanium back can scratch or even break from a drop.

-If your kids want to watch the third party video apps or surf the web in the car, you would need the iPad Wi-Fi & 3G, which is more expensive and comes with a hefty AT&T plan of $15-$30/month for 150 MB-2 GB of data.

Unfortunately, there are no wireless headphones for the iPad that I know of, and even if they worked using the iPad's Bluetooth, I wouldn't know how they would work or what you would need them for.

And don't worry, DVDs don't seem to be in any danger of going out of style any time soon (if anything, they face a threat from Blu-Ray discs.)

Is there any DVD player in the market that can stream Netflix?

Uppili Vij

I am not looking for a Blu-Ray player and I am not looking for a streaming only Roku. :)

the ultimate dvd player???

andrewdevl

i am looking for the ultimate dvd player. money is sort of an object but im willing to consider any price. i want the following

hdmi output
divx playback (divx high def would be brilliant)
memory card/memory stick slot
dolby 5.1 output

i dont need every single one of these specifications but if there is a player out there that does have all the features listed above then i have found the ultimate dvd player! any help is massively appreciated and any links to sites where i can buy such a player would be great! thankyou

Answer
Why buy the ultimate dvd player? Blu ray is taking over dvd, and the blu ray players will play dvd discs.

Anyhow, the Denon DVD-A1XVA is an absolutely stunning dvd player, its even been said to be the best dvd player you can get, ive seen more exspensive but high price doesnt always mean high quality. The Denon DVD-A1XVA costs £2700 or $5000 approx, you might get it a little cheaper.

Other outstanding players (dvd) are:
Marantz DV9600
Naim DVD5
Meridian G98
Arcam DiVA DV139

Of course they all need top notch partenering equipment to appreciate there quality and price.

Sony BDP-S350 blu ray player (just launched onto the market) at £230 or $450 approx, not costly but absolutely outstanding, its getting raving reviews from the experts. Also look at the Panasonic DMP-BD50, also extremely good, not exspensive, its on the net and theres quite a bit of money knocked off it.

Wait till Autumn, there is going to be new ranges of equipment coming out. The focus from companies will be on blu ray players.



good luck with whatever you choose.

Toshiba DVD recorder?

nerdychick

I am thinking of purchasing a Toshiba DR410 1080p Upconverting Tunerless DVD Recorder. Just a few questions I want to know the answer to (it doesn't have to be about this model, but Toshuba DVD recorders in general):

Does it come with all of the required cables to hook it up to VCRs and DVRs?

How long does it last for before it dies or needs a new battery?

How simple is it to set up and operate?

Will it work with TVs and systems that are not also Toshiba brands?

Answer
this is base on dvd recorders in general:

yes dvd recorders should have required cables for input/output

dvd recorders have internal power supplies you just have to plug into the wall

if you've set up a vcr or a dvd player then its as simple as plugging it in the middle

and you should be able to use any tv with with any brand of recorder.

how do u transfer vcr tapes on to dvd player with a dvd recorder/or vcrdvd combo?

stumesa

i have a dvd recorder that i can transfer vcr tapes to my dvd player, how do i do that?

Answer
All you have to do is VCR outputs (composite/Yellow and audio/red & white jacks) to the corresponding inputs on the recorder. Hit play,VHS...hit record, dvd recorder and you're done. Stop the DVD recorder and put in new blank dics. Repeat as necessary.

Many dvd recorders allow you to make a basic main menu if you want to break up the dvd into accessible parts. Also be aware that you can get more onto a DVD by varying the record mode on your recorder. But, more on a disc means lower quality. You should also make sure you buy the right blank discs for your brand of recorder. Most handle DVD-Rs but a few brands use DVD+Rs. Check your manual. The patch cables for dubbing can be purchased at your local Radio Shack...you'll need "RCA to RCA".

hope that helps!!!

Next Xbox or PlayStation?

Q. when is the next ine going to come out and should i wait to buy a ps3 or 360 until another one of those consles come out?

Answer
PS3 is supposed to have a 10 year life cycle, but the industry, and everyone is predicting is that we will see the next PS around 2014-2015. The next XBox will come out much sooner, as the XBox 360 is already maxed out in terms of graphics and physics, it will probably be released around 2010-2011. My advice, grab a PS3. I have a 360, PS3, and Wii and the PS3 has become my main platform for gaming. My brother plays the 360 while I play the PS3 and Wii.

EDIT: To counter the post under me, Major Nelson is in charge of XBL and is in charge of PR. He would never say that the next XBox is coming out soon, but here is the evidence:

http://www.videogamesblogger.com/2007/03/13/next-xbox-720-to-launch-in-2011-2012-according-to-microsoft.htm

A Microsoft DEVELOPER said that they are already working on the next XBOX, and here is one more thing:

http://www.gamezine.co.uk/news/formats/xbox360/rumour-project-phoenix-xbox-720-and-x-engine-$1306788.htm

Basically, MS ran a couple of job listings a while ago stating that they needed people experienced with gaming hardware in order for their next console codenamed Phoenix. The original idea was for it to be 10 years, but because Blu-Ray beat HD-DVD, the XBox is now behind the PS3 in terms of graphics and what the 360 can do in terms of physics and AI. The hardware is basically the same, but the DVD-9, that the 360 uses has 9 gigs of space, while Blu-Ray discs, what the PS3 uses, has 50 gigs of space. Because of that devs can put more things on the PS3 than the 360. Here is proof:

http://www.totalvideogames.com/GTA-IV/news/Further-GTA-IV-Details-Unearthed-11032.html

Rockstar, the developer behind GTA IV, said that they had to "dumb-down" GTA IV in order for it to be equal on the PS3 and the 360 because of the lack of disk space on the 360. They originally had a much bigger game planned, but when they approached MS about making GTA IV multi-disc, they said no way, thus we got the gimped, but still good, version of GTA IV.

In summary, because the PS3 has a next-gen disc format (Blu-Ray) while the 360 relies on DVD, we will see the next XBox much sooner than anyone thinks.

Yet another EDIT:

The 360 had better exclusives until 2008. The PS3 has fantastic games like Killzone 2, InFamous, Uncharted, Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank, LittleBigPlanet, and SOCOM. They have games like Heavy Rain, God Of War III, and MAG (256 player FPS game) coming out in 2009. The 360 has great games like Gears Of War 1 and 2, Halo 3, and Forza 2, but their exclusives list is becoming SHORTER as time goes on. The only thing they have going for them is Halo 3: ODST and Halo: Reach. IMO, MS is relying on Halo WAY to much, and it will bite them in the ass.

In terms of games, the 360 has a bigger library right now, but the PS3 will have a bigger and better library after 2009.

What's a dead simple universal remote for an elderly technophobe?

Tiffany

My mother needs to control her T.V. and DVD player (both Samsung). Once we tried to tell her how to turn on the DVD player, navigate how to get to the right input, and use 2 remotes, she's so confused. She doesn't know the universal button symbols either so an easy remote would be best.

I have a Harmony Remote but it doesn't always switch correctly between TV - DVD movie - DVR - and Roku player.

She is elderly and needs large buttons and not too many choices, anyone know a good product for someone like this? All she has is a DVD player and a T.V. That's it! But she is a technophobe...thanks for the help.

Help! What is a multi-region dvd player?!?

MandyLee

Okay, so for Christmas I am asking for a Korean movie called "Attack on the Pin-up Boys" starring the Korean boy band, Super Junior.
I'm looking on Ebay to find the best deal and package and stuff but then I see it says things like,
"multi-region dvd player required!"
I don't really understand what that means.
I live in the USA, is there a special kind of dvd player that I need to get for it to work? How do I know it's a multi-region dvd player?
I would appreciate help very much! I don't want to buy the dvd and find out that it won't work on my dvd player.
thanks!
Also -- how do I know if it's a region 1 dvd or multi-region?
will it say it on the box of the dvd player or directly on it?
is it going to say it plain out like, "Region 1 dvd player"
or is it weird coding?

Answer
i have that movie i suggest buying it from yesasia.com since its asia central for k-pop and others and it you want to buy other suju stuff since over $40 is free shipping and over $50 you get a $5 coupon.

you can watch it on your computer if you can't find a multi region dvd player.

north america dvd players are region 1.

since that movie is korean, it's region 3.

japan uses region 2.

on your computer though, you can only change the regions 5 times and the fifth time, whatever region it is, it gets stuck in that region.

you have to get a dvd that can play any region.

if you want to buy a new dvd for the movie, just look up all region dvd player and buy one.

otherwise you can watch it on your computer if you plan on only watching korean dvds on your computer.

What is best DVD player for cross country car trip w/2 kids?

lechemomma

My sister & I are driving 15 hrs with my 2 kids and I'm thinking it's time to invest in a portable DVD player for the car. What should I look for in terms of features, battery life, etc? Any recommendations...or warnings?
Wow! So judgemental. No my kids don't watch TV at home. You look out a window for 15 hrs w/o getting bored & let me know how that goes!
PS: we make this trip & another of this magnitude 3-4 times a year so this would ideally be a longer-term investment.

Answer
I think that is a very good idea! For anyone who has traveled long distances like that in a car with/as a child--it is HARD!! You can only pack so many books and little games to play in the car, before everyone needs to just relax and focus on something other than the stuff zipping past. Which BTW, can cause some
people to become car sick easier (looking out the window).

You can't install a dvd that has a screen visible to the driver unless there is a cut-off that shuts off the video as soon as the vehicle is put in gear, I hope you realize. Most in-dash dvd players actually feed screens in the back to entertain the kids on a trip.

Why does my burnt dvd work on the pc but not in a dvd player?

Q.

Answer
The format you put on the DVD is not recognized by your DVD player for your T.V. Use the following below.

Here are the tools I use to copy DVDS for my own personal back ups. I know some folks do not trust some sites due to all the junk spyware out there and virus stuff.

Pc DVD PLAYER NOT OPENING?

Q. I have a dvd in my PC. It was playing just fine a few minutes ago. Just now it won't open PLEASE HELP! What do I do? Please explain throughly! Thanks! :(
If I click the eject button on the DVD player the light turns green and starts making a noise. Like BBMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Then it turns off again. If I put the pin in nothing happens and if I go to computer and click eject from there it turns on and starts making nois and turns off again.
It's a HP DVD WRITER DVD630

Answer
On the DVD drive itself there should be a little hole, get a pin and poke it in the hole, this should activate the emergency release and your dvd drive drawer should pop open.

If not, go into 'my computer' and right click on the dvd drive, then click 'eject' to see if that works.

EDIT:
Try using the end of s straightened paper clip and applying more pressure, if it doesn't work with the computer on, try turning the computer off and doing it. It should open a little so that you can open it fully to remove the DVD, though when it closes again it may not open again when you try and open the drive the normal way.

If the disk is jammed or broken inside the drive, access may require the removal of the drive's outer case. If this is necessary, it is very likely that the drive will have to be replaced.

At the moment i am out of ideas, i will edit if i can think of another solution to try

Is it worth it to buy an hd dvd player?

Jack

Answer
Well, it depends.

All the HD-DVD players in existence were made by Toshiba (a couple of companies sell re-labeled HD-DVD players, and two othercompanies made Blu-Ray players that also handled HD-DVD), so they're pretty similar. HD-DVD players all play DVDs, they all upconvert nicely (some people claim it's the best upconversion around, though IMHO the PS3 does at least as well). So, for the price of a DVD player, or less, the HD-DVD player will make a fine DVD player.

However, you may miss out on some "advanced" features.. many regular DVD players play MP3s, DivX video, show JPEGs, etc. from CD and DVD. If these things are important to you, double-check, since they are not likely supported in the existing HD-DVD players.

As for buying HD-DVDs, there you have a bigger question. The DVDs you buy today are likely to last well beyond the life of any single player, and there's every reason to believe they'll be playable on readily available hardware for the forseeable future. HD-DVDs, on the other hand, will only play on HD-DVD players, which are no longer made. So if you do buy any HD-DVD discs, they're probably good only for the life of your existing player. Some HD-DVD fans have bought-up extra units. While it's impossible to say for certain, your HD-DVD player should last at least 3-5 years, but when it's gone, it's not likely replaceable.

And of course, no one's releasing new HD-DVD titles. If you can pick some up cheap (like, for the price of rental), I see no reason not to if you have an HD-DVD player. But if you're really interested in high def video going forward, Blu-Ray is that future. .

BTW, there's only one or two layers in an HD-DVD disc or Blu-Ray, just as with DVD. More layers are theoretically possible with Blu-Ray, perhaps up to eight, but none exist, and they would not necessarily play on all existing Blu-Ray players (maybe the PS3, with an upgrade.. Sony seems to use it to test out any new Blu-Ray option).

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.

To watch in 3d do I have to buy 3d blu ray disc or 2d dvd is enough. I have 3d TV and 3d blu ray player?

Smith

I have everything in 3d : 3d blu ray player, 3d TV, and 3d glasses. I wanted to buy a movie in a blu ray disc.To watch the movie in 3d, I want to know if I need to buy it as a 3d blu ray disc or just a blu ray disc. In other words will my 3d blue ray player/ 3d TV be able to convert a 2d disc into 3d, OR do I need to buy a 3d blu ray disc to do this?

Answer
For the movie to be good 3D, you need a disc that has a 3D movie on it. Some players can convert 2D to 3D but that doesn't work remotely as well as 3D source material.
