How can you connect a standalone dvd player to your PC and watch movies?

Answer
You can:

A) Install a TV tuner card which will allow you to not only plug in a DVD player or VHS player, it will also allow you to view TV on the PC as long as you plug in either cable or an antenna.

There are many different ones but here is an example:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116007

Or

B) You can use a similar USB device, does pretty much the same thing but uses the USB port and you don't have to open the computer

Like this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116034

But why would you want to??? Doesn't your PC have a DVD drive?, if not you can install one or get an external USB one.

Answer
No.

DVD players for home theaters are NOT data devices. Find a friend with a working DVD drive in their computer and bring a USB Flash drive. Have him copy the files to the USB flash drive, then use this on your PC.

Will this cord work to connect my dvd player to my computer screen?

MAlloy

It has red yellow and white plugs on one side like the ones from the dvd player that plug in the tv on one side and it has that big blue thing you have to screw into the tv on the other. will this work to connect my dvd player to a computer moniter to watch movies?

Answer
Nope. There are no simple cords that will allow you to connect a composite-RCA source to a computer monitor blue VGA port.

Those VGA-to-composite-RCA cords are intended for video cards with a specially-built VGA port that can also send out a composite signal.

It will NOT work if you try to use it in reverse to connect a composite source like your DVD player to a VGA monitor. You will get no image.

Why not just play DVDs on your computer? Most likely your computer already has a DVD drive built-in.

What type of blank CD's do I buy to rip movies off my computer which I can play on a DVD player?

JebusJake

Do I just buy reg. blank CD's? Or do I buy some special type fit to run with a DVD player. Avi files only.

Answer
You should not need any special type of blank CD.

Do be aware that not all DVD players can play AVI files. And for the ones that can, there are some codec requirements. You can't use just any codec and for the codecs that are supported there are some limitations on what they can handle.

Can I make a slideshow on windows movie maker to show on a dvd player?

best dvd player software xp image

misa

I made a slide show for my friends on Windows Movie Maker, but it can only show on the computer. How do I get it to play on a DVD player?

Answer
You need to be sure that you've saved your project as a movie file then use Windows DVD Maker to create a DVD you can play on DVD players. You'll find Windows DVD Maker at: Start>All Programs>Windows DVD Maker (unless you have Windows XP which can't burn DVDs - unless you've add an external DVD burner and DVD burning software - and which doesn't have Windows DVD Maker.)

Windows DVD Maker let's you add a menu to the beginning of your DVD but it's optional so, if you don't want a menu, you don't have to have one.

How does an up-converting dvd player work?

best dvd player for 720p tv image

Jules

If I have a 720p lcd tv and I want to use a 1080p up-convert dvd player is it going to make my DVDs look better?

Answer
Not as much as if you had a 1080p TV and wanted to up-convert a DVD. Your TV can't display more than 720 lines and a DVD is 480 lines; it's not even double the resolution. A DVD on a 720p TV should really shine but up-converting it may be a waste of money, if you're looking for that feature specifically.

What resolution should i set my upconverting dvd player to?

Matty A

I just bought a Philips DVP5990 upconverting dvd player, and i have a sharp 32" 720p hdtv. The player is hooked to the tv via hdmi. What resolution should i set it to? The obvious answer seems to be 720p, but the 480p looks better. Is it something i've done wrong or what? I know its a bit of an awkward question but i could take any help i can get.

Answer
You may have answered your own question.

In theory, as you note, 720p should be best, but there is really no way to predict ... you have to try different settings.

The problem is that there are various video manipulations involved and some scaller/video processor chips do a better job than others.

For example, if you set the DVD player to 480p output, your HDTV upconverts the progressive signal to fit the native resolution of your HDTV (i.e. 720p). If you set the DVD player to 720p or 1080i (for example), the HDTV processes this accordingly. 1080i is converted to 720p and the 720p signal is used direct.

So, depending on the relative quality of the DVD or HDTV scalers/video processors you get better or worse results.

That said, you don't say what connection type you are using and that can matter. Ideally upconverting DVD players should be connected via HDMI since on some models component is only outputting 480p, not 720p or higher, despite menu settings. And you can't get anything higher than 480 from composite or S-video.

If you are connected via HDMI, and 480p output works best in means the processor in the TV is better than that in the DVD player (and essentially you wasted your money .... not uncommon since budget upconverters rarely work well). On the other hand, if you are connected via component, composite or S-video try HDMI (you don't need to spend more than $10-$15 for a cable ... expensive HDMI cables are a rip-off).

Hope that helps.

How do I transfer video from the hard drive to the SD card on a JVC Everio GZ-MG630RU camcorder?

best dvd player win 7 image

Cody

I have a 2010 JVC Everio GZ-MG630RU camcorder. i recently bought a laptop with Win-7. i found out that Win-7 does not recognize my camcorder . My question is: how do i go about transferring the videos on my camcorders Hard Drive to the cameras mini SD card ?

Thanx

Answer
Excerpt from Amazon.com. Read your manual and your question makes no sense. Why do you want to copy from HDD to SD when the camera doesn't seem to have an mini SD card?

Everio Features

All 2009 Everios make sharing and watching videos easier than ever. New for this year is the One Touch Export function that allows Everio videos to be imported into iTunes and loaded into an iPod or iPhone. All 2009 Everios also offer One Touch DVD burning and the One Touch Upload function that JVC introduced to users in 2008 as a new and convenient way to upload videos to YouTube.

To use any of the three functions, simply connect Everio to a PC using the supplied USB cable. Then, the user chooses one of three buttons on the Everio: UPLOAD, EXPORT, or DIRECT DVD. Pressing the button will launch the appropriate Windows PC application that comes bundled with Everio, and the user simply follows the simple on-screen prompts. With just a few mouse clicks the process of uploading to YouTube, exporting to iTunes, burning to disc or transferring to an external hard disk drive will be completed. For uploading to YouTube, the user can perform an in-camera edit of any length video to fit the 10-minute YouTube limit.

For disc based archiving, there is an alternative to using a PC. JVC offers the CU-VD50 Direct DVD Burner/Player as an option, which allows burning of Everio videos to a DVD disc without having to use a PC.

The new Everio MediaBrowser software supplied with all Everio models is a Windows application providing an easy-to-search calendar-type graphical interface for indexing and finding video files. Thumbnail images of recorded videos and stills are superimposed on the calendar so itâs easy to see when any scene was recorded. The Everio MediaBrowser also allows easy playback, simple cut editing, and "Decomotion" to spruce up recorded footage with animated graphics for upload to YouTube. It also supports Export to iTunes, Upload to YouTube, burning to disc or transferring to HDD.

Another new feature found on all Everio camcorders is Digest Playback, which offers an easy and entertaining way to check the content residing on Everioâs HDD or SD/SDHC card. The function automatically selects highlight scenes from among the recorded content using JVCâs proprietary algorithm and plays back what looks like a "coming attractions" trailer for a movie. Sixty minutes of footage is condensed into five minutes of highlight scenes.

Other Everio features have been enhanced for 2009. Laser Touch Operation has been updated to allow control of zooming and recording using either the Laser Touch scroll bar or buttons next to the LCD screen, as well as by the standard zoom lever and REC button. And as before, Laser Touch makes it easy to browse through thumbnail images of recorded scenes and access menu selection. Power-linked operation, long offered by JVC, goes a step further this year. Simply opening the LCD monitor automatically opens the built-in lens cover and powers up the camcorder. Closing the LCD also closes the lens cover and shuts down the power. With Quick Restart, recording can start in about one second after the LCD is re-opened.

In addition to performance and convenience, the 2009 Everio line offers plenty of style and shooting comfort. A new design features elegant curves, a silver-framed LCD and a comfortable angled grip with a new dual use strap. The strap can be used in the usual camcorder fashion, supporting the userâs hand when shooting, or it can be extended and used as a wrist strap like the type on most digital still cameras.

how do I shut down my computer after watching a DVD if I fall asleep. Is there a sleep timer like a TV uses?

tamster52

I like to use my laptop as a DVD player when I go camping. Problem is I fall asleep, movie is over, but computer stays on. Then the light of the computer screen wakes me up later. Is there such thing as a "sleep timer" for your laptop? Like the ones that TVs have?

Answer
Sleep mode can go by many different names, including Stand By (Microsoft Windows 95-Server 2003), Sleep (Mac OS 8)-(Mac OS X) / (Windows Vista,Windows Server 2008), and Suspend (Linux).

When placed in this Sleep mode, the computer attempts to cut power to all unneeded parts of the machine. Because of the large power savings, most laptops automatically enter this mode when the computer is running on batteries and the lid is closed.

Though Sleep and Hibernate are generally thought as two separate functions, modern Macintoshes, Windows Vista (termed Hybrid Sleep), and some specially configured Linux machines also feature a variation of Sleep mode that incorporates the strengths of Hibernate. The RAM is copied to the hard drive before sleep mode is initiated, preserving the RAM contents in the event of a power loss.

Is my insurance company trying to avoid my claim?!?! HELP!?

Marble

I'm getting just a little bit exasperated with my insurance company.

On April 27th, 2011, my home was broken into while my husband and I were on post, helping a friend recover from surgery. My husband had checked on the apartment that evening, leaving at around 9:30p.m. The following day, when we came back to the apartment, (around 3:30pm) we noticed that our front door was unlocked (my husband is keen on assuring that all of our doors are locked). When we walked in, we found our apartment in shambles.

An officer came out and attempted to collect evidence. Our sliding glass door was also , so we assumed they went in the back and out the front...unfortunately, both doors had entirely too many fingerprints to lift just one. Pictures were also taken and we were given a damages form.

Initially, my husband thought that only our xbox, desktop, and my wedding band (off due to a loose stone) were missing....but he had been deployed for 4 months and had no idea where anything was supposed to be. It turned out that a lot more was missing. (items listed below). Once the form was filled out, it amounted to around 4500.00 The following day, I started a claim with my renters' insurance through USAA. I gave them the details, sent in all the receipts I had, along with some pictures of some of the things that had no receipts, and of course, the police report.

It has been over two weeks at this point, and we have no information as to the status. The other day, I noticed that we had been assigned a new claims agent. Upon inquiry, I was told that my case was reassigned "due to the value of the claim." It struck me as odd because I had to file a claim a mere three months ago, due to the pipes bursting in my house, and the value amounted to around $4,000.00, only $500.00 short of the value of the current claim.

We called today, and were told that "our claim required further investigation" and that we would have to do an "in-person interview."

What the hell?

Is this normal?? Should it be taking this long? Is there some sort of regulation on how long they have to respond to my claim? I'm terribly afraid they plan on denying it because we've had two claims now in the past few months....and I have no idea what an "in-person interview" entails.

Any pro's out there?

List of stolen things:

without receipt:

14k sapphire ring: 89.99
pearl necklace: 320.00
amethyst ring: 140.00
amethyst earrings: 160.00
pearl bracelet: 119.00
10k gold bracelet: 149.00
14k sapphire earrings: 170.00
Flash Drive: 49.00
Portable DVD player: 175.00
PSP (older) 170.00
PSP game (inside psp) 29.99
Kinect (for xbox): 150.00
250gb HD for xbox: 139.00
Digital camera: 199.00


With receipt:

Wedding band: 400.00
right hand ring: 99.00
pearl earrings: 49.99
Xbox 360 Slim Edition: 299.99
Gateway All-in-One Touchscreen PC:760.00
Xbox Controller: 59.99
MyTouch 3g: 199.99
sapphire necklace: 170.00

Answer
First of all, USAA is a GREAT insurance company. No scarcasm, I mean that.

Second, THEFT claims are completely different from water damage claims. There's not usually as much fraud with the water damage claims, and with a break in, inflated or exaggerated claims are the norm, sadly, not the exception.

So when, with a theft claim, you have a unusual mix of items stolen, or it hits a certain threshold that varies by company, they ARE going to scrutinize the claim more closely.


Now, you realize that there's a theft limitation on jewelry, right? No matter how many items are stolen, there is a MAXIMUM AMOUNT that policy pays, which is $1200 on the standard policy. You're over that limit.

Theft claims don't settle fast. Two weeks, is NOTHING. The insurance company can't do ANYTHING, until after they get a copy of the police report, which USUALLY takes about three weeks. They won't take your copy, they want an official one, straight from the police. A NORMAL time for settling a theft claim, is one to two months.


But that "in person" interview, is a huge red flag. Clearly, they suspect that this claim is fradulent, or inflated. They're going to record that. If you REFUSE the in person interview, they will close the claim, nothing paid. So you HAVE to go jump through these hoops.

Answer
You can get an external Blu-Ray player, but Apple does not support Blu-Ray yet, so you will need to use 3rd Part software - the player will probably have one bundled, or you can get Roxio Toast with HD plug-in.

How to burn a cd/dvd to play on a home dvd player.?

the_joker_

I have been trying to burn a home movie and I can not seem to get any thing to play on my home dvd player that I burn.Is just lke maling a audio cd you just burn a video dv or dvd or is there some kind of special formatt.I did this before and messed up or somethig.So could some one tell me the step by step and the right formatt's?
I did convert it or save it as mpg2 and I got nothing the best I have ever gotten tit to do is a short spot of what I burnt.But I have never done the vs_video thig I do not really understand that.So there is more than just burning the right format on the dvd?

Answer
vob format .. which is composed of mpeg2 in a certain resolution, bitrate, and sound format .... usually what you have with a home video is either mpeg2 or avi in the cams native format ... it could be simple if its already in mpeg2 all u need to do is author it ... you could use nero, which i personally dont like, or some other dvd authoring app ... if its in avi you will need to convert it to dvd mpeg2 first .... you may need a codec on ur machine to decode it properly like watever came with the software package with ur cam or u can get a directshow filter like ffdshow ... then use a converting app and editing tools like tmpgenc, winavi, and virtualdub ... with what i mentioned you can convert and manipulate just about any video into a dvd ... the end format after it goes through a dvd authoring app is vob ... and dvd puts those vob files into a folder named "video_ts" and theres usually an "audio_ts" as wel thats usualy empty but include it anyway ... so in the end you will burn the two folders to a dvd as data and close the session ... thats how it will look on the disks .. two folders with the vobs' and ifos' in the video_ts folder ..

The video needs to be in DVD compliant MPEG-2 but you also need to conform to folder and file naming standards as well as using the UDF disk format and supplying information to navigate the DVD. The easiest thing is to use an app like DVDFlick to sort out the details - it's free!

Can I get an external Blu Ray player for my Mac?

Rob

I also want to know if I can play it using my DVD player app.

Answer
You can get an external Blu-Ray player, but Apple does not support Blu-Ray yet, so you will need to use 3rd Part software - the player will probably have one bundled, or you can get Roxio Toast with HD plug-in.
You can check one of the MAC retailers - like http://eshop.macsales.com/search/Reads%20%20%20Writes%20Blu%20Ray%20%20DVD%20%20and%20CD%20medias

I got my kids a portable dvd player for in our van for long trips, but it only has one outlet for headphones. I know that there are extenders and splitters, but do they make an extender with a splitter on the end, and if they do, where can I purchase one? Thanks.

Any electronics store should have something, but here is what I found online:

A portable DVD player that can play video files off of a USB thumb drive?

VanSmack

Does anyone know of a portable DVD player that can play MPEG or other video files off a USB thumb drive? I want to transfer all of my kid movies to USB thumb drives rather then lugging all the movies around.
Thanks.

Answer
Your best option is just going to be getting a netbook or a cheap laptop. I've never seen a portable dvd player with a USB port.

How or what do I use to get pictures onto a disk to watch in a DVD player?

My uncle died yesterday and we are making a CD of pictures for him to play at the funeral. We are not sure how to get it one a disc that will work with a DVD player.

Answer
Most DVD players will play slide shows of JPEG pictures. However, every DVD player I've ever seen does this differently from every other.

The first thing you need to do is assemble all the pictures, making sure they are all in JPEG format. Burn them onto a CD (it does not have to be a DVD) and make sure they were properly saved. Pop the disk into your DVD player and look for the main menu. If you're lucky, your DVD player will recognize that this is a disk of JPEGs and put itself in the correct mode.

If all else fails, see if you still have the manual for the DVD player and check it for the steps to playback a slide show of still images. As I said, every player I've seen is different.

Anyone know how to hook up a separate DVD player and VCR player?

Tiffany

I am trying to hook up separate DVD and VCR players to my mom's old TV. The DVD player and VCR player works fine separtly with the TV, but I have been trying to figure out how to hook them both up to the TV and work. Because the TV is old it does not have the hook ups in the back, so she bought a converter that hooks up to the TV that provides the hook ups.

I tried to hookup my DVD/VCR player to her TV. The VCR part worked fine, but when we would turn it to DVD, the converter shuts off.

I know that the red and white wires hook up the audio, and the yellow wire hooks up the vidio, but I don't know what the other outlets are. On the back of the DVD player there is a green outlet with a Y next to it, a blue outlet with a Cb/Pb a red outlet with a Cr/Pr, a coaxial and an S-vidio outlet. The DVD player just has vidio and audio in put and out put outlets.

Answer
you should be able to hook it up like this

coax from cable to input on VCR then out to TV use your DVD RCA jacks for DVD to VCR make sure you have the DVD out going to the VCR in. When you're ready to play a DVD you should be able to tune to whatever channel you have it set for and watch. Good Luck.
