What type or format of subtitle that can play on DVD player?

Jay-R G

for example subtitle extension is .ssa or others that can play to the DVD Player,

Answer
DVD player can't play any separate subtilte file, such as .ssa or .srt, you have to put the srt file on video DVD at first, then burn to DVD disc. If you want to burn any video files to DVD with srt subtitles, and can play well on DVD player, there is an easy way can help you, I am using RZ DVD Creator to do this well, it can directly put srt subtitle file on any video file and burn to video dvd, it can directly convert any videos to video DVD with srt subtitle and burn to any DVD disc(DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, etc), such as burn avi to video DVD with srt subtitle, etc, the burned video dvd can be played well on dvd player. You can yahoo or google search and download RZ DVD Creator, easy to use, good quality, hope it can help you.

What types of files will a DVD player recognize?

best dvd format for dvd players image

Travis

Will a DVD player be able to support files like avi, MP4, and VLC on a DVD?

Also, if I put more than one movie onto the DVD, how will I choose what movie to watch when I put it into my DVD player? Do I keep pressing "next scene" until the next movie is shown or is there some kind of DVD menu?

Answer
avi, mp4 and vlc, all are media container format which can be encoded with many different codecs, such as divx, xvid, mpeg4, mjpeg, etc, so no dvd player can play all avi, mp4 or vlc video files, as I know, if your want to burn a movie onto a dvd, so that can be played well on dvd players, you'd better use a right software to convert your movie to video dvd format, because most dvd players only recognize video dvd format well, and you can add a dvd menu to directly choose what movie to watch when burn more than one movie onto a video dvd, like the video dvd bought from store. To do that, so easy, you can follow me to use RZ DVD Creator, it can fit your requirements, it can convert any format movie files to video dvd format, it can put multiple movie files onto a video dvd, and it can add dvd menu to the created video dvd, it can customize the "Play All", "titles/movie selection", "chapters/scenes selection" screens and buttons on dvd menu, can customize dvd menu background video, picture, music, text, etc, easy to use, insert a dvd disc into your computer dvd burner drive, run RZ DVD Creator, select the dvd burner drive as the target folder, drag and drop your avi, mp4 or vlc movie files into the software, then press MENU button to customize the dvd menu and enable the dvd menu, then press the START button, you will get a video dvd with a nice dvd menu, and you can play the burned video dvd well on dvd players, and can directly choose what movie to watch through the dvd menu, you can yahoo or google search and download RZ DVD Creator, hope it could help you.

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

Sol

I always used a DVD player to watch movies.

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

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

What type of dvd player would work best for a tv that is already a widescreen?

best dvd format for dvd players image

fajita_chi

I am looking to buy a dvd player for my parents and they purchase d a wide screen tv so when you play dvds or watch tv it tends to stretch out the picture. Is there a dvd player that takes this into account or does it matter?

Answer
There is a common misperception that the screen should be full. Not so. While it is nice when it happens only material at the same aspect aratio (width to height ratio) as the screen you are watching will fill the screen ... everything else will have black bars on the top and bottom or the sides (unless the image is stretched or zoomed ... but that distorts or throws away some of the picture).

The director of a film chooses the aspect ratio, and it can vary from 1.33:1 to over 2.7:1 in extreme wideangle films. The most common are 1.78:1 (so called "16:9" -- the aspect ratio of "widescreen" TVs), 1.85:1 and 2.35:1, but others exist too.

See the image at the link to see how these aspect ratios relate on a constant width screen.

TVs often have a control that allows images to be zoomed or stretched to fit the screen ... as stated above this is distortion and most people, after playing with the different settings for a while, return to a straight undistorted image setting.

A widescreen TV will "fit" more programming (particularly if they subscribe to HD programming, which is in widescreen (16:9) format) than their old style TV (Which was 4:3 or 1.33:1 format) BUT they will still see black bars on some movies, particularly on DVD (Note: TV broadcast stations sometimes crop widescreen movies to "fit" the 16:9 screen ... and you can't control this, but the same movie on DVD might have bars).

So ... no, you don't need to buy a different DVD player for widescreen since the basic aspect ratio is determined by the movie, not the player. Maybe the above explanation will help you explain it to your parents.

If buying a DVD player for a 720p or 1080p HDTV, consider a $100-$125 (less expensive ones won't provide any benefit) "upscaling DVD player" (with a HDMI connector) or if you want to go full out, consider the Venture HD DVD player from Walmart ($200) ... which is really a Toshiba HD-A3 player (a good upscaler and it plays HD DVDs).

Hope this helps.

what's the difference between an avi and dvd format?can i play avi on a dvd player?

best dvd format for dvd players image

computer l

can i play avi on a dvd player?

Answer
Normally you can't play AVI on a DVD player, unless it is something like a DivX AVI file, and the DVD player supports playback of DivX media - but it kinda depends on the features of the player in question...

DVD's use VOB files, which are essentially just MPEG-2 video files, with extra features such as subtitles.

In fact, if you have a VOB file from a DVD, and that file has no subtitles, if you rename it to an MPG file, it can be played by Mediaplayer.
