DVD players upscaling 1280?

Bobby A

I went to purchase a Dvd player it said something to the affect of upscale 1080 or something what does this mean. Does anyone know what is planned for the future of electronics. I want to purchase a new tv do I need a flat screen. Will this dvd player i mentioned be phased out soon? What is my best option for purchasing new electronics? What product name is the best?

Answer
Upscale to 1080p means that the player interpolates your regular DVD's and sends a 1080p or 1080i signal to your TV. You would have to have a 1080p TV to take advantage of this. Blue-ray DVD players also do up conversion, regular DVD's may be phased out in favor of blue ray disks ...good brands include but are not limited to Sony Samsung JVC Sharp depends on what your getting into also Denon makes excellent HT Recievers while I wouldn't buy a sony reciever myself but their TV's are excelent Denon does not make TV's...so you just need to do the reasearch man...try Cnet; ZDnet; hometheater review and other places like that on line to get the info on the top brands.

Is there a DVD player that converts normal DVDs to HD quality on an HDTV?

best dvd players cnet image

Ian M

My mother said she saw a DVD player that you could put a regular DVD into, hook it up to an HDTV, and it would play the DVD with a high-definition quality. Does such a thing exist?

Answer
Search for Up-converting DVD Players.
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6859904-1.html
Notice that some up-convert to 1080i an others to 1080p.
1080i is interlaced, used on HDTV transmitting stations.
1080p is progressive, used in Blu-ray disks.
They do a very good job, but the end-result is not as good as those originally recorded at 1080i or 1080p.
By the way, you need HDMI on your TV, if you use Component it will not up-convert to 1080 i or p.

How to play an avi file on a normal DVD player without conversion?

Sugama

I am trying to play an avi file on my DVD player but unfortunately it doesnt work. A friend of mine made a DVD disk which had 4 avi movies and they all worked perfectly on my DVD player. Can anyone tell me which software should I use to make my avi movies work on my DVD player perfectly? And from where can I download that software which will make the movie play without conversion? Thanks.

Answer
You need a Divx/AVI/Xvid Compatible DVD Player.

You Probably have a Standard DVD Player which CANT Read AVI.

Hope it helps :)

Is Oppo the DVD player manufacturer High End?

John

I would like to invest in a nice DVD player and I was wondering if Oppo is a good brand. I like the fact that their DVD players include DCDi an that they are progressive scan and such. Are any of the Oppo DVD players good or should I stick with my Sony NC85H DVD Progressive scan changer.

Answer
Oppo players are high end in terms of performance in a number of areas, but not considered high end overall because of the price and somewhat light construction.

Whether it is a good choice depends what you need it for.

That said it would be an improvement on your present progressive changer, which was user rated 5.3 on Cnet, while the Oppo players rate in the high 7's to 8.3.

The Oppo 981 is considered one of, if not the best upconverting DVD players. It's also a pretty good SACD and DVD-A player. Reviews have consistently rated it as top performing player equal to (and in some ways better than) players costing several times as much.

I have a Pioneer Elite DVD player I originally bought for audio (particulalry SACD and DVD-A) and later bought an Oppo 971 for upconverting DVD video for my projector. I'm "sure" the Pioneer is a better audio player but you'd have to be pretty picky to hear a difference between the two.

I also have a Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player that is also an upconverting DVD player. In fact, because I can only conveniently connect two players, I use the HD-A2 now as my primary DVD video player (rather than the Oppo) because it gives almost as good an image from DVDs as the Oppo, and also allows me to play the occasional HD DVD.

My point is, the Oppo (e.g. 981) is a good "universal" player and a great choice as long as you don't want Blu-ray or HD DVD capability. If you do, either a Blu-ray (e.g. PS3) or HD DVD (HD-A3) player might be a better choice.

The HD-A3 (successor to HD-A2) can be purchased on Amazon for about $180 with 10 free HD DVDs ... or the Oppo from them direct for $229.

Hope this helps. Good luck with a choice.
