best dvd players reviews image

khaileebab

I am going to buy a portable DVD player here before July, but I need some help decided which are the best. I don't care about the cost. I want the best for my money.

Answer
Well if you are looking for a portable DVD player the best recommendation I can give you is to look at a few review sites.

What are things to look for when buying a DVD player?

Brian

It seems like all DVD players are virtually the same, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what are the distinguishing differences.

What are differing qualities to look for when buying a DVD player? Why choose one over another?

Answer
Most manufacturer have stopped producing stand alone DVD players, due to the new blu ray disc player will also play the DVD. What you want to look for is quality and dependability of the brand. Pioneer and Panasonic are the top brand for quality and dependability. My first DVD player when it first came out was a Sony, model 7000 and 7700 which cost me over $1,100 but they did not last more than 3 years. My Pioneer Elite DVD player is now over 20 years old and still running strong. My Panasonic blu ray disc player the first generation model BD-10 which is 4 years old has had no problem playing over 300 movies. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. Go online to home theater magazine and read the reviews on players. Panasonic has had a player each year being recommended as one of the best entry level. Hope this will help you out.

Is it true that DVD players have been downgraded since 2006?

best dvd players reviews image

J.O.I.

As a former DVD collector and home theatre salesperson, I remember hearing that in order to sell more Blu-ray and HD-DVD around 2006, all upcoming DVD players' capable resolution would be scaled down from 720p to 480p. The best DVD player I've owned is from 2005 and is capable of 1080i via component video.

Now I tell customers this, that older DVD players were actually better resolution-wise than those that have come since but I'm having trouble finding legitimate sources to back up this claim. I'm not sure how current upscaling players compare, either.

Can you help me find something?

Answer
Keep in mind that DVD video resolution was only at the 480P. DVD players prior to that date never up scaled the video, now they up scale to 720P. Also you can not see the difference between 720P and 1080P in screen smaller than a 46". Most major manufacturer have stopped producing stand alone DVD players due to the Blu Ray disc player can play the DVD and up scale to 1080P if you have a DVD. Also the higher end players will do a better job up scaling than those bargain price unit. They never did down grade the DVD players. You are providing wrong information to the customer. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for. I recommend you read Home Theater Magazine reviews on all products and the pro and con of each technology. Hope this will help you out.

Can I use my laptop to hook my dvd player to the internet?

best wifi dvd player netflix image

Jim

Im would like to hook my Network Blu-Ray disk player that is eithernet ready but its not wifi ready`. Can I use my LapTop that is wifi to my dvd player to recive netflix on my tv?

Answer
ToTo raises an excellent point that I didn't even consider - sharing your Internet connection from your laptop with your BR player. It may be what you need.

You could get your BR player on your network by either using an Ethernet WIFI adapter or by using an Powerline Ethernet adapter/bridge.

With Powerline Ethernet you usually get two adapters. One adapter plugs into an A/C outlet near your player, and you connect the player's ethernet to the adapter. The other plugs into an A/C outlet near your WIFI router, and you plug another Ethernet cable into the second adapter from your router. Then the magic should happen - your BR player should appear on your network. I've used such adapters and they've performed well for me. I think they work well and are cheaper and easier to setup than WIFI adapters. but that's your other option.

Can an internet dvd player have spyware installed after market?

Tom

I purchased an open box dvd bluray with wifi from ebay. I noticed that after winning the item most other dvd players with wifi were open box too from the same vendor. Iwas wondering if passwords used on the system ie netflix etc could be compromised?

Answer
Not likely. The reason they are open box is because the seller probably bought them at an auction because most stores don't sell open box items.

Cna you tell when a DVD player was last used or what was played?

sosadtoday

Is there a way to look at settings or tell - What was last played on DVD Player? When DVD player was last used?

Answer
go into the add/remove programs and it will tell you the last time it was accessed....but sometimes that date is incorrect....i use Firefox 90% of the time and my add/remove programs say last used 16 June 2010...even though i use it everyday......so really there is no way to really tell the last time it was used....

Can you convert a ppt slideshow to dvd movie file?

Jamie

I am in the process of making a slide show of pictures on the newest 2010 version of ppt (beta) and was wondering if there was any way i could burn the slide show to a dvd so that it played like a movie off a dvd player?

Answer
PowerPoint 2010 has the function of creating video, but you need to convert the PowerPoint twice (PPT to video, video to DVD). The whole process seems complex, you can use a tool to burn PowerPoint 2010 to DVD directly.

Answer
It will cost more than you have in your piggy bank there, Skippy... You just don't go out to an airplane that has been sitting for that long and light it up and fly away. Every single part of the airplane will have to be torn down and inspected or replaced.

If you have a full crew of mechanics, working full time on the restoration it will STILL take months if not years to make it airworthy again, and the cost could be will into the Millions of dollars.

If you want to go flying, I suggest something a bit more in your budget range... Like a 50-year-old Cessna 172.

Why was the DVD box set of the Earthworm Jim cartoon only released in Australia?

NauseousPe

That show was one of the most clever cartoons I've ever seen, but living in the US, my only option is to watch them on YouTube with the video squished to the top of the screen and NBC removing them one by one.
Does anyone have any idea why the DVD was only released in Australia, and if there's any chance that it could see a region 1 release?

Answer
The reason why the complete series is only released in Australia is because Vision Entertainment who released the complete series as a 5-disc set in Australia are a based DVD label taking premium DVD and video content to major retailers Australia and New Zealand wide. Other publishers such as Universal currently have no plans to release the show on DVD in the US although there is a chance seeing as how the TV series was released on June 1, 2011 for Australia and there is quite a demand for this series to be released for other regions seeing how the fan-base is quite large.

My advice to you if you no longer want to wait for the DVD's to release in your region would be to get a region free DVD player and buy the box set through an internet retailer such as Amazon.

Any tips for traveling with a 2 year old?

best portable dvd player kids car image

Amy Y

We are about to take our first long trip with our soon to be 2 year old. She doesn't do well with even short trips in the car. It is a 9 hour drive, but we have decided to stop overnight half way, so it doesn't overwhelm her. Traveling at night is not an option either. Any ideas on stuff to keep her busy & in a good mood? We did buy a portable DVD player, but I'm sure that will only keep her busy for about an hr or so. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, as I am extremely nervous.

Answer
1.Patience
2.Magnadoodle
3. Wireless childrens headphones if you can afford it to prevent safe driving for you and entertainment and something "new" for the little one.
4. A very good spill proof cup, preferably the one with the snack bowl attached
5. Practice and skill in selective hearing.
6. Pull ups- accidents happen.

Sometimes there will be screaming. You will be on the road. It might come at the time when you are on the Highway. Pay no attention to it, block it out, focus on the road. Screaming does not exist until you are off.

You may get luckily and she will most likely sleep most of the way. Most kids do. Even on the train my son slept most of the time.

Any ideas on how to keep my 1-year-old entertained during a very long trip?

Q. We're leaving in a couple of days and the trip takes 8 hours (driving). I don't have a TV in the car, nor a portable DVD player and can't afford ot buy one. Plus she's not supposed to watch too much TV anyway. I'll be in the backseat with her, I just need to know what I can do to make it as pleasant a trip as possible. Thanks!

Answer
Kids looooove looking out the window. Sit with her and point out things together ("Look at the big bus! Look at the cow!" etc haha). Somehow that seems to entertain little kids for hours...as long as you act excited about it she will also feel excited looking at everything.

After that, bring some CDs of kid's songs that you can sing. Some of her favorite music or something that you can sing with her with hand motions. And of course some toys and books to look at, and healthy snacks and napping will fill in the time as well.

Does anyone know of a good portable DVD player for a preschooler?

Jacque

My son is almost 4, and in the last year he has broken 3 portable dvd players and 2 full size ones. He does not break them on purpose, but we give him two hours a day to watch movies and he is a very independent child so he likes to work things for himself. Usually the door breaks, that holds the DVD in place. That is our most common problem. We are trying to find a DVD player that would not break as easily, that we could buy him for Christmas. We were thinking about the Fisher Price Kids Tough DVD player but I have read bad reviews on it lately. Any Ideas?

Answer
Buy a cheap one with a extended warranty that covers accidental damage. They will just exchange it for a new one when it breaks.

Is there a way to connect a home dvd player to a computer monitor?

best dvd player for the computer image

Is there a way to connect a home dvd player to a computer monitor? If so are there converter cables available or instructions on how to make your own?
Add a reply

Answer
In a nutshell... YES!

More broadly, the method all depends on what you have available...
1. What output(s) does the Player have?
2. What input(s) does the monitor have?

If your output=input, then all you would need is a cable to connect them together e.g. s-video output and s-video input, all you need is the s-video cable (usually the cable is of male-male type)
There are multiple common input/output connectors for these devices:
1. S-video (already mentioned) (both devices)
2. RCA (RF type connector) (both devices)
3. Optical - (both devices - although these are very rare on a monitor)
4. VGA (15 pin connector - monitors only - have not heard of this on a DVD player)
5. DVI (most commonly on LCD, TFT and plasma monitors)

Signals are either anologue or digital in nature so if your output is not equal to your input then you would need to insert a modulator between the two devices so that signal can be converted and this should sort this problem out for you.

You would need to identify the inputs & outputs and check with you local Radio Shack type store and check if there is a modulator for connecting that specific output with that specific input.

How do I get my kids to play with their toys?

parenting

If I have to estimate my kids have at least 300 toys. They have big bulky toys and they have small toys and a bunch of toys in between. I plan to do a garage sale to get rid of some. Will having less toys get them to play with the ones they already have?

I admit we did by them a back yard swimming pool today. They have a computer in their room, and a portable dvd player. My kids get new toys on a regular basis and then our neighbors old toys.

How did you get your child to play with their toys? They are 4 and 2 years of age.

Answer
take 90% of them away and put them in the garage. they have far too many things, and are getting confused with all the choices, so thay choose nothing.

if they get bored with one toy remove it and replace it with another

Is it possible to update/change a Laptop (VAIO) DVD Player to a Blue Ray Player?

TheHelper

I have a VAIO Laptop with a DVD Player (Windows Media Player). Is it possible If the shop can change my DVD Player so that it can play Blue Rays and DVDs?

Thank You,
X
PS: If possible, please list your source.

Answer
I can't say definitely for your model, but usually laptop CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives are replaceable even if they're not meant to be user replaceable.

Your best option is to take it to a computer repair shop, they can open it up and have a look
(note opening laptops is a very fiddly procedure there is like a million screws and you need a precision screwdriver set to do it.).

If it is, you or the repair shop should be able to purchase a " laptop blu ray drive " from ebay or a computer parts seller. It doesn't matter what make, it's a standard fitting.

I have had my DVD players for a long time now, but it they both stopped working at the same time. I will put a DVD in one of them and it says "Error H02" and the same message appears with on the other one when I try it too! What is wrong with them?! They were working just fine a week ago, and now they won't play anything! Please help, because I really don't want to have to buy new DVD players. Thank you!

Answer
Only the manufacturer will be able to tell you what that code is saying. Like you said, it is very old and it is time for a new one. Most manufacturer have stopped producing stand alone DVD player due to the blu ray disc player will also play the dvd. The most reliable player in the market is made by Panasonic. You can get a model BD-75 for around $75 at Best Buy. Hope this will help you out.

How do I put the pictures from my panasonic lumix camera into my laptop?

Sky

Ok so i recently had a sleepover and i have a lot of pictures i wantto put on facebook but how do i put it on my laptop? i have a SD card and a card reader in my laptop so i put it in but i can't find the pictures. I clicked computer but the only "removable disk" was for the dvd player thingy. help?

Answer
Your laptops card reader might not detect your card if it is bigger than 2G.


Download camera to pc

You have 3 ways to do this.

1. install the software that came with the camera and connect your camera via the USB cord, put your camera in playback mode. Your software should auto download your camera.

2. Use a card reader (you need a external USB card reader if your card is over 2G). Open MyComputer (XP) or Computer (vista) and see your card, open it and copy paste from your card to your pictures file or videos to your videos file. Please note that videos and pictures are in 2 different folders on your card.

3. If you have Windows Vista with Windows Photo Gallery, then you do not need any software, just hook your camera to your pc, via the USB cord and put the camera in playback mode, WPG will auto download and the program will launch and voila your pics and videos will be there.

If you want to use Windows Movie Maker to edit your cameras videos, you will need to convert the videos using a free video converter, http://www.handbrake.fr/ or http://www.any-video-converter.com/download-avc-free.php

can i use an upconversion dvd player with a regular tv?

nutmeggers

i am looking for a new dvd player, and i am looking to spend between $50-100 (the price range i settled on b/c i think under $50 and it's a disposable machine - at least it has been my experience lately). my question is, the best rated dvd player i see at my local store is a dvd with upconversion. i looked up that term and find it connected with HDTV. I have a regular, run-of-the-mill toshiba tv. can i still use this dvd player? better yet - will the upconversion work on my regular tv, or is it a feature i shouldn't spend the $$ on? thanks!

Answer
You can still use the upconverting DVD player on a regular TV. Obviously it won't be able to upconvert, but the DVDs will still play.

Even entry level DVD players are providing upconversion now-a-days with many falling well within your price range, so don't worry about that.

And, if you do get a HDTV later on, all you'll need is a new cable to connect your DVD player to it, and all your DVDs will receive an instant upgrade.

How do I burn a DVD that will work on my DVD players?

best dvd players for windows 7 image

I have no problem burning a DVD that will work on computers, but they do not seem to work in the DVD players on my TV sets. I am good at computers, but in no way a pro. Can someone explain to me how to do this in a way I can understand? I am using Windows 7 on a brand new Dell computer.

Answer
Because most normal DVD player only recognize the standard video DVD, don't recognize the data DVD(directly burn video files on disc), so you have to convert and burn your videos to standard video DVD, i am using rz dvd creator to do this well, it can create/burn standard video DVD from any videos, easy to use, you may have a try, hope it can help you.

Some games (like Madden/Civilization) require you to leave the CD/DVD in the Drive and not run it completely off the CD/DVD Drive.
I mean run it completely off the hard drive.

Answer
It's best to reinstall any applications or games on the new computer instead of copy and pasting the files over. Sometimes that will work but a lot of the time the programs have dependencies installed in other places (such as the registry or a folder with saved data).

To transfer you will need to hook up your old hard drive to a PC and burn the files to a cd or flash drive.
