Questions about my tv and buying a dvd player?




sls.spec


I have a new big-screen HDTV that is capable of 1080p, on the way. Sony Bravia KDL-40V4100. My family is old-fashioned and way behind the times in technology. All that we have is a 4-head vcr and a ton of VHS movies. I got a huge discount on this tv through my employer (by the vendor), so I went ahead and got a flat screen 40" tv. It was $600 bucks after taxes. They probably never will get HDTV (at least not right now), but I wanted that option there if they ever do.

I'm planning on buying a combination 4-head vcr/dvd player. I figure that maybe I should just get a combo vcr/dvd burner while I'm at it (it's not much more in price). For one reason...just to save some space later on, I figured that we might want to record from VHS to DVD and ditch the clunky VHS tapes - while keeping the movies. I know that the quality from VHS will still be VHS - even if dubbed onto a DVD, of course. But I have a couple of questions: Can all DVD burners record onto a dvd directly from the tv? I know that many record from VHS to DVD and vice versa, but I've only seen one so far that said you could record directly to DVD from the tv.

Keep in mind that my family doesn't even have cable - they use regular tv reception with rabbit ears. I just wanted to get them a thinner tv that was larger and easier to see. A blu-ray player is definitely not something we'll be getting. So what is my best bet for a dvd player? Will 1080p 'upconversion' dvd players look better on this tv than the typical 480p or whatever it is that regular dvd players play? Or would getting an upconverting dvd player (to 1080p) be a waste of money?

Secondly...what exactly is 'upconverting'? Is it beneficial to have? I'm confused as to how one can see a "1080p" (or 1080i) picture from like a 480 (or whatever it is) picture quality from a regular dvd?



Answer
Upconverting dvd players just take the 480 and do a fill in the lines thing so when the picture is displayed on an HD tv it looks a little better. Any dvd player, when hooked into your new tv will be upconverted by the tv, as all HD tvs upconvert any signal received to their native resolution, in your case 1080p. Some regular dvds, newer ones, look pretty good if your dvd player has component (red/green/blue) cable output, if not, nothing will look good carried over analog cables. So you could get a new dvd player with component output if you don't already have one, but you don't need the upconverting ones as your tv will do that anyway.

Your VCR will look bad. Don't copy to dvds as it's a losing effort.

And when you get your tv, if you are close enuf to transmission towers, run a scan for available digital channels, you will come up with quite a few HD stations without cable. Check the owner's manual for the procedure, but many antenna people get some nice HD that way, for free. Someone else said you'd need a converter box, that is not right, you're getting a digital tv which should continue working without a box in Feb, and there should also be more free HD coming your way. (So maybe you guys may want to get a better antenna as you'll have better reception with a more powerful outdoor? antenna, or even an indoor antenna with power boost.)

I just bought a HD TV - Will my older DVD work well or do i also need to buy a HD DVD player?




Marc G


In other words will my current DVD player look good with my new HD flat screen LCD TV or do i also need to upgrade my DVD player? And if so what do you recommend? My new TV has 740P of resolution. (or something like that!)


Answer
Simple answer ... your old DVD player will probably work just fine, particularly if it can deliver a progressive rather than interlaced output (480p vs 480i).

Unless you have a really basic non-progressive DVD player (480i) and the HDTV is very large and has a poor scaler, the TV will upconvert the DVD output to HD (720p or 1080i) and the picture will look fine.

You don't state the size of your new HDTV, but if it is under at least 50" you are not likely to see significant benefit from an HD DVD or Blu-ray player.

My advice is to try it and only if you don't like the result then consider an upscaling progressive DVD player (about $150) or, if you WANT to spend a bit more, consider a basic HD DVD player (Toshiba HD-A2). The latter is an excellent upconverting DVD player for standard DVDs and also plays HD DVDs. You can currently buy the HD-A2 for $299 and the Matrix trilogy ($63) and get 7 free HD DVD movies (about a $200 value) if you buy from Amazon.com (US only).

Is the Mac Mini good?




Dominic


i am starting to learn how to dj and i need a computer but my budget is $500. i know the mac mini is a desktop and there are better desktops but people say that apple is good with dj software should i get a mac mini and what model (2010,2011,2012). Need answers by tomorrow


Answer
I like the mini mac I guess, but I haven't messed much with it. My house is mainly a PC household. My dad hooked up the mini mac to our tv and it sits on the stand shelf with everything else (bluray player, vcr - yes still have one and love it, dvd player, cable box, etc..) Dad bought it once to try it out, cause he's all techy and what not.. hooked it up to the tv and used it a few times and it sits there still hooked up and collects dust.

You want to get the acer aspire one mini-notebook, it's the best and top rated mini-notebook and less than $500. But you will need to be an external USB disk drive if you want to install things or to copy files to a CD. Or you can just use a usb memory drive.

Is the Macbook Pro worth the money?




sandking38


Im thinking lf buying a laptop since it is ny senior year and college is around the corner and im thinking of buying a Mac. i don't really want a macbook air since its so thin than it looks like it would break easily and it doesn't have a dvd/cd player. So is the Macbook Pro worth the money? i don't need the obe with retina display so im thinking of just either the 13 inch or 15 inch. is it worth to add the Extra $600 for 2 inces of screen size?


Answer
I would say so, I own a late 2011 13.3" MBP and I absolutely love it. It's by far the best computer I have ever owned, plus OSX is amazing and I love the fact that I don't get viruses. I take mine to school with me and it can handle all the requirements that it needs to do for my classes. Not to mention that the build quality is top notch and it is very thin and light. As for the hardware (On the 13in) it is pretty good but you will get the same specs for almost half the price with a PC. The processor can either be a i5 or a i7 and of which I recommend the i5 due to the fact there isn't much difference between the i5 and the i7. It has 4gb of ram standard but it can go up to 8gb for the official limit and 16gb for the absolute max. NEVER buy extra ram from Apple, you can buy it much cheaper from other places and upgrade it yourself. Now it doesn't have dedicated GPU, instead it uses Intel's integrated graphics which for the Mid 2012 model is a HD4000 chipset. Intel's integrated graphics are extremely good for integrated graphics and is comparable to low to mid range dedicated GPUs. So if as long as you do light gaming and don't play super graphic intensive games like BF3 on it then you should be fine. The RAM and the hard drive are completely upgradable and what some people do is put 8gb of ram and add in a SSD for a extremely fast hardrive. The battery life on Macs are also amazing, I get roughly 7 hours on mine when browsing or watching a few YouTube videos. If you need some Windows programs like MS Word you can actually get Microsoft Office for the Mac which has things like Word, Outlook and Excel etc. Macs can also dual boot operating systems so you can run Windows on it if you want. It has a terrific keyboard which is backlit and I gotta say it's one of the bets ones I have used.

Now for the 15" vs the 13", the 15" version as you said is quite a bit more expensive but it does come with a quad core i7 processor and a dedicated GPU which if it is the 2012 model has a Nvidia GT 650M which is a very good graphics card and can handle games like Battlefield 3 in the 40 fps range on mid settings. It has better built in speakers as well and you also have the option for extra money to get a highres screen for the 15" which can be glossy or Anti-Glare. The 15" is a bit heavier, so you would need to see if you would be okay to carry it around Collage. So depending what your needs are should be your deciding factor with the 15" vs 13". I personally prefer the 13" but thats just me. Depends solely on what you want and need though.

So in conclusion I think it is absolutely worth it, OSX is amazing, specs are good, great build quality and battery life, and just a pure joy to own. It all comes down to your personal preferences though. I hope you are happy with your decision either way. Hope I helped!

DVD player?????




JM.


I just bought a DVD from the internet, but it says that it is for Australian or region 4 dvd players, but it also may be used on non region specific dvd players. My dvd is just a cheap little one that I bought on sale for like 15 dollars, but it works fine. Do you think that this dvd will work on my dvd player?? I don't think that my dvd player is "region specific" but I don't really know what that means however. I don't know if it will help, but if you want the link to the dvd that I bought it is:

And on this website it says, "click here for world dvd standards, and here is that link:

http://shop.abc.net.au/help/viddvdinfo.shtm


Thanks so much, I really hope that you can help me!! And I also hope that I didn't just waster 40 dollars!!!!


~Kim



Answer
There are two things that your DVD player will need to overcome. The first is the Region 4 and the second is PAL. Your player may be able to play Region 4, but I do not know if it will play PAL DVD's. PAL is the standard broadcasting format outside the US (we use NTSC).

There are shops that will convert PAL to NTSC, but this appears to be a copyrighted DVD, so you can't do it legally.

Alternatively, if you have a computer or laptop with a DVD drive, you can deifnitely play it. You may want to search YAHOO ANSWERS
for how to change the region code on your computer's dvd drive. It's not too hard.

Good luck, maybe your DVD will work on your player.

portable DVD player?

I want to buy a portable DVD player.

Must have 10 inch screen or LOWER
Great quality
Well known company [not a must but I'd like so]



Answer
Everyone should have a portable DVD player because they can be hooked up to a TV like a regular DVD player.

I bought a LG® Portable DVD Player (2007) with 7" Screen LPA837, a CENTRIOS⢠(2006, The Source/old Radio Shack) brand 7" PORTABLE DVD PLAYER, and a Casio EV-680 3-inch portable TV.

I have been overall safisfied with all 3 products, and like taking my DVD player to go through a lot of CDs in libraries.

I just bought the LG because I'm loyal to Sears, and this was the only model with a USB port at Sears. I don't like to shop.

A must for a portable DVD player is a USB port, so I can enjoy MP3/WMA music, JPEG images, or DivX MPEG videos from my computer on my DVD player or on my TV using the audio/visual jacks.

My Centrios battery lasted 2 hours, and the smaller LG batter lasts 3 hours, 20 minutes. An annoyance is my LG won't charge while I'm watching it, but the Centrios can do both at the same

My LG better for viewing JPEG images because often to fill the screen with a portrait, I have to put the DVD player on its side, but the shapes and locations of jacks on the Centrios make this difficult. time.

I still wish my portable TV (maybe even a radio) were built into my portable DVD. player, and my last 2 links list some; however Synco is a Chinese company that I don't know, and the player referred to in Yahoo Answers has no USB port.

My Casio TV has been good too, but the rechargeable batteries only last about 1 hr., so I use a universal adapter for both my Casio TV and cell phone, and just find places to plug it in. I wish it had a radio because batteries do last a long time using radios. Portable TVs are hard to find in stores, so you should use the internet.

The 3 inch screen on the Casio TV is too small for watching any sports because the ball is small. Reception is a problem in about half of the locations you try. The biggest problem with my Casio TV is it is not stereo, which can make it harder to listen too, so I just take out the earphones usually.

Make sure you don't get told you are stealing power. At $0.11/kWh in Alberta, Canada, it costs hardly anything, but it's the principle.

portable DVD player problems?




Sally Cumm


I have a hiteker portable DVD player that I've had about for a year now. When I was watching movies it would stop mid-way and I would try to start it up again but it wouldnt. Now it wont play at all. When I put the DVD player in it tries to read the disc and you can hear it trying to load up but then it says NO DISC. I probably knocked something out of place. I want to take it to Sears to have them fix it up. Would it be worth getting fixed or should I just buy a new DVD player? Does anyone have any idea about how much it would cost to get it fixed?


Answer
If you have the 1 year warranty, you can contact the manufacturer's customer service at helpdesk@hiteker.com and explain your problem.

Unfortunately the manufacturer is in the Neatherlands, and I'm assuming you bought it at a Sears in the US.

You could also appeal to Sears, but if you don't have your receipt, you'll have to remember the date of purchase and hope you bought the extended warranty. Many times the manufacturer is very conscious about helping customers.

According to their website, they offer an exchange-for-new warranty, and their warranty is actually good for 2 years! So get in touch with them and maybe if they won't fix your player, you might upgrade to a new (working) one.

I don't know what it cost, but it is probably going to cost you more to have someone fix it than to just buy a new one. But the best deal is to have them replace it.

What's the differences between Blu-Ray & HD DVD Player?




VIctor


Can a regular Blu-Ray play a HD DVD?


Answer
HD-DVD was a competing format to Blu-Ray. Both are HD formats. Several months ago, HD-DVD was dropped by all its coalition manufacturers. A couple companies made players that could play both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, but those models have been discontinued due to the demise of the HD-DVD format. Unless your player specifically lists HD-DVD as a format that it supports, your Blu-Ray player will not play HD-DVDs.

Should I get an Blu Ray Player or a DVD UpConverter?




Rayford


I have an Xbox 360 running HDMI on a 32" 720p tv. Will a DVD Up-converter do a better job? Or should i just wait to get a Blu Ray Player? Or, on my tv, is it even worth it to get a blu ray payer?


Answer
On a 32" 720p HDTV the improvement of Blu-ray over DVD will be small. And if you are watching DVDs on a Blu-ray player it may or may not be better than a DVD on an upscaling DVD player ... it depends on the quality of the video processor chip. Many upscaling DVD players don't do a great job, but more expensive ones (say > $60) aren't bad. On the other hand cheaper Blu-ray players (say < $150) generally don't do a great job upscaling DVDs either.

So really your choice is a "better" upscaling DVD player or a "better" Blu-ray player. Since you won't get much benefit from Blu-ray disks on your current HDTV unless you plan to upgrade it in the next year or so I'd opt for a "better" upscaling DVD player. The best choice is a used OPPO player. They are now discontinued, but the DV981 (See link) was generally considered one of the best upscaling DVD players ever made, so try to find one of those used.

FYI, I watch DVDs on a Blu-ray player that does better than average DVD upscaling and display via a 1080p projector on a 110" screen. While Blu-ray disks are a bit better, in most cases DVD looks pretty darn good. So, even though I can play Blu-rays I more often than not still buy DVDs because they are usually much cheaper ... and few movies really warrant Blu-ray.

Hope that helps ... Good luck.

What would be a good DVD player download




Shyness


I'd like to know what would be a good DVD player download with a good Codec package included?


Answer
DVD has been around long enough that most of the software players available are pretty good. Theatertek has a pretty large group of devoted users in the home theater PC department, as does Power DVD and WinDVD.

Since you ask about a good codec pack, I'm assuming that you're also wanting to use the player to view other file formats like .AVI and .MP4. Power DVD, WinDVD, and Nero Showtime (bundled with the Nero Burning Suite) all come to mind as solid commercial packages. If your price range is more on the free side (these days, whose isn't?), my advice would be to download the Community Codec Pack and install it; this way, you'll be able to watch pretty much anything you want right on Windows Media Player--or on any of the provided media players in that package.

Community Codec Pack: http://www.cccp-project.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

Linux users can normally take their pick from whatever their distribution supports, and there's normally an interface to aid in finding them already on the operating system.

PC HD vs HD upscaling DVD player?




Nyx


Hiya,

I have a 8800GTS graphics card (HD) connected to my HD TV using a DVI to HDMI cable. I also have a HD upscaling DVD player connected using HDMI. Would there be any difference in the playback quality of the DVD? Do I still need the DVD player?

Sound quality is better though the PC.



Answer
It depends. Which one gives the better output picture. Older models of upscaling DVD player tend to give poorer upscaling results than newer models, but this is not always the case. In your eyes, which gives the better picture? Remember that you can upgrade the computers decoding software to get a better picture.

As the PC sound quality is better, unless the output picture is noticeably poorer, I would use the PC for upscaled DVD output, unless you have a need to quickly load and play a DVD (For instance if the PC takes a while to boot up).

Best DVD player?




Raisins





Answer
It depends...

Do you have a HDTV? If so, a very high-quality DVD player with up-converting would serve you well. I'm not one for spending a ton of cash on optical disk players. They seem to have a shorter service life than other electronics no matter how much you spend. New formats are out, capable of true HDTV resolution. Wouldn't go that route yet... untill 1 format wins and the prices come down... Wouldn't drop a small fortune on a standard DVD player right now either...

The OPPO OPDV971H Digital HD-Ready Up-Converting DVD Player is VERY competitively priced. Technology is up to date, does up-converting and has all of the necessary connectors for the best picture on HDTVs, picture quality is excellent and many extra features included. Will even play DivX or XviD burned to disks on your computer. Go to Amazon.com and search for this player. You'll see that it's VERY popular among home theater enthusiasts and most are very pleased with their purchase. Tried to post a link for you, but it was too long and won't display correctly here:( If you order this player directly from OPPO as opposed to ordering from Amazon, you will be assured of it being shipped with the latest firmware, newest remote (better), and a free HDMI to DVI adapter cable you may need.

The Panasonic DVD-S97S is another very popular choice among home theater enthusiasts. Has video quality to rival the most expensive players available and everything you need for the best picture on a HDTV (HDMI / DVI connectors, cutting-edge up-conversion), without being pricey.

The Sony DVPNS90V is another strong performer. I believe the up-conversion in this player isn't as cutting-edge as in the other 2 players. Has the HDMI / DVI connectors. It won't play the DivX or XviD compressed video files like the OPPO will. It WILL play the new SACD format (audio CDs with better resolution). So... if that sounds like something you'd want to try out... here it is. The picture quality is reported to be very good, and I've heard that the SACD format does indeed sound fantastic. A real improvement over standard CDs (although I haven't heard a SACD yet). My DVD player is a Sony and I've been very pleased with it's performance over some other makes I've owned. If you are interested in the SACD feature, or otherwise using the player heavily for playing music CDs... It might be wise to look into the similar 5-disk player from Sony. Nice to have a multi-disk player for listening to a variety of uninterrupted music sometimes.

If you don't have HDTV, pretty much any value-priced name-brand player would be fine these days. I tend to lean towards Sony or Panasonic... Check consumer reviews of different players before you buy to spot any particularly troublesome models. Seems like every manufacturer has "lemon" models occasionally. Amazon.com and Circuit City's online site both have user reviews posted for all their products.

Happy hunting!!!

How can I burn home video onto dvd disk using windows 8?




Northernli


I recently got windows 8. I have downloaded all my videos into my computer, but when I open them using media player or movie maker, I cant see them. They are audible, and I still cant see a place to burn them. It was so easy on vista! FRUSTRATED!! Thankyou in advance


Answer
To be honest Windows 8 is rubbish. Windows 9 will be out in April 2015. I've aways used Ubuntu 12.04 rather than windows.

You can download a video converter witch is called Any Video Converter" You'd need to convert your video to the correct file format in order to burn it to a DVD and play it on your DVD player. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work on windows 8 but making sure your video file is the correct format is important.

New Ubuntu 12.04 user needing help. Easy questions for easy 10 points?




Bro


I've always used Windows as far back as Windows 95 to Windows 7, so I'm haveing problems getting used to Ubuntu 12.04. The reason I'm trying to use Ubuntu is because it's free, looks good on a resume, and I recently bought a netbook with it installed. Please forgive my stupid questions.

Questions:
Do I need to install virus and spyware protection? If not for me, then possibly for other people who use Windows? If so, do you have any free or low cost suggestions?

How do I add icons to the desktop? I've tried dragging them from the taskbar(?) from the right of the screen, but that didn't work.

I installed Wine and Google Chrome(ubuntu version), but is there anything else I should consider installing? Cool programs, helpful tools, ect...


I was considering reformating my hard drive and installing Linux Mint because it looks like it has a Windows 7 feel, but should I? If so, why or why not?
@ John

That link has been shortened more than once, so I'm going to avoid it. One good thing about being a Windows user for the past 23 some odd years is I know to stay away from potential threats.
@ John again. I did further research on the link you posted and looks like it's malicious. Reported



Answer
<<Do I need to install virus and spyware protection?>>
No, you don't really need to install one, unless you plan to be installing software from an unreliable source.

<<If not for me, then possibly for other people who use Windows?>>
This is a good idea. Most use an AV on Linux for their Windows friends.

<<If so, do you have any free or low cost suggestions?>>
There is Avira or ClamAV (With the ClamTK Frontend) (both free)

<<How do I add icons to the desktop? I've tried dragging them from the taskbar(?) from the right of the screen, but that didn't work.>>
You will most likely need to use something other than Unity DE, try KDE, Cinnamon DE, XFCE, &c.

For Cinnamon follow these instructions, http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2012/04/26/install-the-latest-and-greatest-cinnamon-desktop-on-ubuntu-12-04/

<<I installed Wine and Google Chrome(ubuntu version), but is there anything else I should consider installing? Cool programs, helpful tools, ect...>>
That really depends on what you want to do, Here are some interesting programs:

Avidemux (Video Editing)
PiTiVi (linear Video Editing)
Blender (3D Animation)
FontForge (Font Software)
gImageReader (OCR software)
SpiderOak (Cloud Server)
LÃVE (2D game engine)
Qalculate! (Powerful Calculator)
Clementine (music Player)
Pidgin (Chat Software)
Xine (In my opinion, one of the best multimedia programs on Linux)

Ubuntu Tweak & Ailurus (Helps with tweaking Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives)


<<I was considering reformating my hard drive and installing Linux Mint because it looks like it has a Windows 7 feel, but should I? If so, why or why not?>>

I personally like Linux Mint over Ubuntu and many other distros, why don't you give it a test run first by burning the ISO to a CD/DVD or USB Thumb drive and running the liveCD. I think that you may like Linux Mint better as well. (Same Software that runs on Ubuntu will run on Linux Mint)

How do i burn movies on a dvd from media player?




Kika M


that actually plays in a traditional dvd player that is hooked up to tv


Answer
if you want to burn your video files to dvd disc, then play it on any DVD player, you should create a standard video DVD from your videos,
Media player cann't do this, and there is an easy way, you can try RZ DVD Creator, it can create standard video DVD from any videos, it can directly convert and burn any videos to DVD(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-DL, DVD+DL, etc), such as avi to DVD, etc.

It can burn multi videos to one disc, and can auto fit the size.

Work well on my computer, easy to use, i like it. Following is a step by step guide about Video DVD Creator:

Wish to burn Movie MKV files to blank discs, and play them on a DVD Player?




Pennylessz


I have the Trilogy of The Lion King in MKV format, and I want to burn them onto a disc and play them on my DVD player, but I'm going to need a solution to doing this. I would prefer something simple but if it can't be then go ahead and tell me anyway.

Thank you.



Answer
your DVD player wont be able to play MKV files.

Any Video Converter
http://download.cnet.com/Any-Video-to-DVD-Converter-and-Burner/3000-2646_4-10869581.html

convert the MKV to DVD, this will create a _Audio and _Video folder, burn the folders onto the DVD.

a DVD will hold about 90 minutes of video, over this and you will either have to compress the video using something else like DVD shrink

http://www.filehippo.com/download_dvdshrink/

open the converted dvd folder and then it should convert the video/DVD to fit a standard DVD-R, you can also use it to burn the video onto the disk.

dont forget to delete the files created on your HDD afterwards

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.

i wanted a type of dvd player u can put on the car not those portable ones but the ones u can fix in your car can anyone give me any info on this like to where to buy this and the best one


Answer
If you can fit a double din radio Id suggest getting a Kenwood in-dash DVD player (model# DDX6019 ). Its has a 6.95" touchscreen and can play DVDs. You can add a navigation unit later on if you want. I got mine from best buy web site(they dont sell it in store). Crutchfield( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-hTRe5VyeCrp/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?i=113DDX6019 ) sells them too.

PC HD vs HD upscaling DVD player?




Nyx


Hiya,

I have a 8800GTS graphics card (HD) connected to my HD TV using a DVI to HDMI cable. I also have a HD upscaling DVD player connected using HDMI. Would there be any difference in the playback quality of the DVD? Do I still need the DVD player?

Sound quality is better though the PC.



Answer
It depends. Which one gives the better output picture. Older models of upscaling DVD player tend to give poorer upscaling results than newer models, but this is not always the case. In your eyes, which gives the better picture? Remember that you can upgrade the computers decoding software to get a better picture.

As the PC sound quality is better, unless the output picture is noticeably poorer, I would use the PC for upscaled DVD output, unless you have a need to quickly load and play a DVD (For instance if the PC takes a while to boot up).

Should I buy a DVD player/recorder or a DVD burner for my pc?




jlennon109


ok, I already have Dish network DVR, but it would be possible to transfer from that to a dvd, although I also want to put video camera movies onto dvds, idk if there are player/recorders that have usb ports that work very well


Answer
It really depends on what you would like to do!

If you want to record TV shows permanently to DVD, buy a DVD player / recorder.

But, if you are going to edit your home movies onto DVD's, I would recommend a DVD burner for your PC. There are many programs out there today that allow you to professionally edit your home movies, add titles, create professional looking menus, etc, etc. Very simple and easy to do!

With the standalone player/recorder, you do not get these options, just a cheap little menu.

Also, a dvd burner on your PC is alot more helpful when you want to burn copies of your homemade videos for family members. It can burn up to 24 times, whereas with the standalone, it does it in real time, like a VHS recorder.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

Answer
Go to www.microsft.com. Go to the downloads section and then Windows Media and download the Windows Media Player 11. It plays DVDs just fine.

Is there an pre-installed DVD player on windows XP?




Bob L


If so how do I access it
I have the drive nut when I but a DVD in it wont run



Answer
No.

You can upgrade the Windows Media player so it can play DVDs, but it wasn't pre-installed with Windows XP.

I think, you can double check microsoft though, the latest version of Windows Media Player comes with the aiblity to play DVDs - but check the update page for Windows Media Player.

But the native version of XP did not.

This is exactly what I needed and is the perfect size for travel. The screen is clear, love the remote control and the sound is adequate. The only thing I did not like is that it was taken off a shelf, a shipping label stuck on and when it was delivered any one that walked by or drove by saw I had a dvd player sitting on my porch. I think they should have put it in a plain box and am glad it was not stolen.

What kind of cables do I need to hook up a vcr/dvd player combo to the TV?




maureeses


I got the two in one player and I'm not sure if I could only rely on the kind of cable that screws into the line in/ line out or do I need the cable components in order to use the vcr or dvd player.


Answer
It's going to depend on what your TV supports. You'll want to use the best type of connection that your DVD/VCR and TV supports.

In descending order of preference:

* Component video
* S-video
* Composite video
* Coax (what you call the screw-in line-in/line-out)

Any of these will work, but you should make the effort to use the best connection supported by your TV and combo player.

Also, if you have a surround sound receiver, you might want to consider connecting your VCR/DVD to it for surround sound while watching movies. Most of the time this will be an optical audio cable or a digital coax cable. Again, check your manuals to see what's supported.

One final thing - when shopping for cables, avoid Monster brand. They're really expensive, and don't perform any better than cheaper cables. In reality, unless your living room is right in front of a large radar dish, even cheaper cables will work just fine. You really shouldn't need to spend more than $10-15 for any of the cables I've talked about.

Problem connecting DVD player to TV/VCR Combo?




SupaJ016


I recently inherited an old Panasonic Omnivision VCR Plus TV/VCR combo. I just plugged it in, set up the channels and stuck in a VHS tape. It works. Intending to set this up in a spare room for guests, I thought it would be nice to connect a DVD player to this as well. The TV only has two jacks on the front though: one video and one audio input. So, I plugged in these cables and connected them to the corresponding video and audio outputs on the DVD player. I get a picture but...no sound. Is there anything I can do to fix this??

Thank you.



Answer

How Do I Connect DVD Player to Dish-TV?




Mike S


I am renting APT with Dish Network included in rent. I bought DVD player and would like to know how to connect the device. Do I connect the cables white, red, yellow from DVD player to the back of Dish Box? Or do I connect to TV? I tried just to quickly connect to TV and got only video no audio. All the cables where connected in the right way. White to white, red to red and yellow to yelow. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance.


Answer
The connectors on the back of the Dish box are outputs, not inputs. Dish box needs to be connected to the TV, as does the DVD player. If you have more than one set of input connectors on the TV, you can connect both and control which input you see and hear with your remote. If not, you may need an external AV switch to determine which input is connected to the TV.

Before you do anything, you ought to consult TV, DVD player and Dish box user manuals for a hook up diagram. Different sets have a variety of connection options. I have no way of knowing what you have sight unseen.

Does anyone make a wireless DVD player?




WIL33562


In the master bedroom of our new house we have a corner fireplace with a cable outlet and electrical outlet just above it to mount a flat screen tv.

We currently have a 32" flat screen that does not have a built in DVD player. There is no way to mount a DVD player above the fireplace and showing any of the wires is out of the question. I'm wondering if anyone make a wireless DVD player that will reach from about 15' away? My plan is to put the DVD player in one of the night stands beside the bed and have a wireless signal sent to the TV if this is possible.

why wont my windows media player play dvds?




Austin


rencently i had to delete real player because it refuses to play my dvds unless i pay 30 bucks to upgrade, well they can go to hell on that one. so i tried using windows media player and it wont even register that theres a dvd in the laptop. then i went through my computers online app store and they dont have any media players that play dvds, its all just online streaming. how can i fix this? or is there any trustworthy alternative to media player that plays actual dvds? i refuse to pay for something that should be free


Answer
Hi, If you have win8 then microsoft took out the decoder to play DVD's due to third party cost. You can either get a codec pack, or get an alternative player. I do not recommend codec packs, they will eventually mess up your computer, best codec pack is "shark007.net". Links below.

The best free players are VLC media player by videolan, media player classic home cinema, KM player, and Daum PotPlayer. They play pretty much anything including DVD's. My favorite is Daum PotPlayer.

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (Official site of VLC player by videolan. Pay attention while installing, if you don't want files associated with VLC then uncheck those options 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 any directx update message. You MUST right click the daum icon and run as administrator to set file associations in windows 7. You might change the skin also to original_en.dsf

http://www.dvbsupport.net/download/index.php?act=view&id=268 (Daum PotPlayer beta update. If you want, install this after installing PotPlayer above. This is optional.)

http://www.dvbsupport.net/info/potplayer.html (Daum PotPlayer version history/fixes.)

After installing open it up and right click on it - in the video tab - set video renderer to "overlay mixer" for some older computers, or keep it on "evr custom present" for newer computers. You may want to change the skin & aspect ratio options also. You can manage file associations - right click - preferences - association tab.

In win7 right click Daum icon and run as admin before making changes in settings. Also go in preferences - general - touch - then disable touch screen.

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

http://mpc-hc.org/ ( Official site of media player classic home cinema. Available in 32-bit or 64-bit and will download from sourceforge.)

I hope this helps you out. Good luck!

i am trying to play a DVD on my computer and windows media player is asking me to download a mpeg-2 decoder..?




JJ S


why do I have to pay for it when I go to the microsoft page? is there a free one I can download that will work with windows media player?


Answer
what i like to do is to download the PowerDVD 7 trial (its free)

http://www.cyberlink.com/multi/download/download_hotlink.jsp

i run it once and uninstall it ... it leaves the codec on your system. and windows media player will use that codec from than on.

Enhanced quality of dvd on Blu-Ray player?




user350044


Blu-ray players are suppose to enhance the picture quality when watching a regular dvd. Is the quality really noticable or very little? Do you think purchasing a blu-ray player for the dvd enhancement is a good idea?


Answer
Grumpy Mac is right and wrong. Blu-ray players do a credible job of upscaling DVD and therefore improving the DVD image relative to a standard DVD player. They can't give you "real" HD. While upscaled DVD images are technically HD they can't contain all the information in a real HD image like Blu-ray.

That said, there are lot's of considerations to take into account before deciding to buy a Blu-ray player.

First, if you are going to continue to watch DVDs (and not buy or rent Blu-ray disks) you don't need a Blu-ray player ... you need an upscaling DVD player (it's about 1/3 the cost of a Blu-ray player).

Second, Blu-ray disks require a minimum moderate sized 1080p HDTV (e.g. 37" or larger) to provide maximum benefit. There is no advantage to Blu-ray (or an upscaling DVD player) on a standard TV.

Third, Blu-ray disks offer superior sound to DVDs because of advanced audio formats. ... but you must have a good audio system to hear the difference.

Fourth, Blu-ray disks are, and will remain, more expensive than DVDs. They are a premium priced (and performance) DVD alternative.

Fifth, unless you watch close enough to see the difference (many HDTV viewers sitt too far from the screen), Blu-ray won't look much better than DVD.

So ... a Blu-ray player is a good bet if you are comfortable paying extra for Blu-ray disks and intend to slowly switch to Blu-ray, but if you intend to stick to DVDs consider an upscaling DVD player instead. Just recognize that any improvement won't be startling.

Should I buy a multi regional blu ray dvd player?




John


I live in the united states their are a few kpop albums that I would like to buy but they come with dvd's that are region code 2 dvd's. I was told you can buy multi regional blu ray dvd players online. I am just wondering do they really work?


Answer
Keep in mind that universal blu ray disc player are not very common. I only know of two brands that are some what reasonable, one is a Pioneer Elite with a price range of around $350 and make sure it is a universal (not all Elite players are universal). The other one is the OPPO 103 for around $510, which is also one of the very best player in the market. It also has many options for output connection and input. Then you have higher end brands thata are in the thousand of dollars (McIntosh $5,000). Hope this will help you out.

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!

Im thinking of buying some headrest monitors/dvd player?

how to play on the wii on a portable dvd player?




Jordan


hi i know you can play on a wii on a portable dvd player by going on av output but my portable dvd player is a argos value one and i can not find out how to play on the wii on it please can any one help me ? thanks


Answer
First: Do you have a Portable DVD player with an AV IN or OUT or BOTH on it? if u do, follow this.

First you'll need to buy an AV adapter at any electronics store Best Buy, Radio shack ETC. it should have the Three AV Inputs on it.Red, White, & Yellow. with a headphone input stub looking-thing, at the end of the cable. plug the little nub into the DVD players AV IN or OUT input outlets and ur good to go. They are pretty uncommon and usually come with a DVD player with such outlets on it, good luck.~~James

Is there a portable DVD player that can also serve as an external DVD drive for my laptop?




Chuck_L


If so, where can I buy it?

My laptop does not have an optical drive (DVD or CD-ROM). If I can buy an external DVD drive that also is a DVD player with LCD screen, I will be able to kill two birds with one stone. Of course, it would not be economically sensible if such a device costs more than a DVD-ROM and DVD player combined.
