Is there a Doogie Howser DVD region 2 version i can buy?

best dvd players uk image

Jaime

Does anyone know if there is a doogie howser, md DVD compatible with my DVD player in the UK? I can only find region 1 dvd's and they will not work with my stuff. I need region 2 and does anyone know if there is such a thing or where i can buy it?

Answer
It seems its only available on region 1 and this is direct from wikipedia but: Anchor Bay Entertainment released all 4 seasons of Doogie Howser, M.D. on DVD in Region 1 for the very first time between 2005-2006. As of 2010, these releases have been discontinued and are out of print.
The fact that they have discontinued the region 1 dvds it is very unlikely they will be released on region 2 I'm afraid. If I were you I would invest in a regionless dvd player I picked one up for under â¬50 and it plays all dvds-hoped this helped.

How to burn a dvd with mp4 movie including subtitle which can be played at home dvd player?

Megan Vins

I want to burn a dvd with a mp4 movie including its subtitle which can be playable at home dvd player...most importantly without any video quality loss,with subtitle and less weight so that i can burn as many movies as i can in a DVD5 or DVD9...How do i do it?....i need the best answer since i was trying to burn those movies in a dvd 9.But unfortunately,i don't know what's the reason i succesfully burnt it but its not playing in my home dvd player...Do i still need to keep the mp4 format of the movie or do i have to convert it to any other format so that the weight can be less....??

Answer
DVDs that you play in a DVD player do not have mp4's on them they have .vob files. It sounds like you have just burned an .mp4 onto a DVD and expected it to work in a DVD player because it's on a DVD. Unfortunately that's not the way it works, a DVD player will usually only read a certain format of video and it has to be laid out in a very specific way on the disc. When it is in the correct format it is called a video DVD when it is just an mp4 file or other files (documents or whatever) then it is called a data DVD. Depending on the length of the movie you can probably fit the whole thing onto a dvd5 (single layer) without losing quality but you need to do it through a program like nero (windows) or toast (mac). Select the option that allows you to make a video DVD and the program (assuming it has the correct codecs to be able to read your video file) will create the vob files for you and arrange them on the disk in the correct way.

EDIT: Lossless (no loss of quality) conversion is possible, I do it every day. If you are coming from an HD file though then it will lose quality going to SD (standard definition), or if the video is particularly long then the 'bitrate' (amount of data required to make a second of video) will have to be reduced and you will lose quality. Part of the problem you will find is that most SD videos on the internet are 525i/p at best whereas a UK DVD player will e 625i... The video's may well look better on your computer screen than it will on your TV set (even if you were using the TV set as a monitor for the computer) because of how much better the processing is in a computer graphics card than on a TV set. Either way, you need to download Nero or Toast or some other 3rd party software.

Driving to Florida with 4 kids, and one on the way... tips?

Preggo egg

We go to Florida every March break with the kids. This year it'll be easier because all the kids are; of course- a year older, and more mobile. The twins are 3 and my other 2 are 5 and 7. However, this year I'm pregnant. Not even a month yet, but I have terrible morning sickness ALL DAY. I must admit, it isn't as bad as it was last week (I'm taking something for it), but it still gets bad, and I'm afraid the long drive there (24 hours to be exact) is going to be sticky.

Any advice on how to keep myself sane, and how to keep the kids occupied? I know I've been down there about 10 times, but it's always a challenge and I'll take any extra advice I can get! We will be stopping in Washington to sleep a few hours before continuing to drive!

Thanks!
Also, we're staying at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando... anyone been there/knows anyone about it?

Answer
Ge them each a little backpack and pack it with things that your children like to do, relevant to their age group, as well as little snacks and such. You can go to the dollar store and get them little games and stuff to keep them occupied such as perhaps crayons, coloring books, writing pad, pencil, little toys, perhaps small books, or even cheap mp3 players with their favorite songs on them. etc. It would also not be a bad idea to pick up a portable dvd player for your children to watch little movies and stuff on. You can also set up a little scavenger hunt for them, (such as find mommy a green car, etc) you can play I spy, and even sing along to their favorite songs with them. Perhaps you can even find them a cheap kids camera (wal-mart, 20 dollars apiece) and let them take pictures of all the interesting things they see and etc. this will keep them busy for a while.

you can go to craigslist.org and find a cheap portable dvd player in your area that you can buy. My husband and I found an awesome one for our 2 year old son when we went on a trip to oregon (we flew... 18 hour trip including layovers, and three planes there, three back....) and we paid only $40 dollars for it.

also if you have a few extra dollars, it would be a great investment to pick up some little leapster for your children, as these have multiple games they can mix and match and can keep them occupied for hours.

you can probably find one or two cheap on ebay, craigslist ( i just looked and they have them used for as low as $25), or go to wal-mart, they are $50 apiece, but they will provide you with sanity for years to come.

also how about driving down at night. That way the children will be asleep and you can keep your sanity then as well. just pack extra sipppy cups in case they wake up, and put on some soft music in the car. You can watch your kids the day before and let your husband get some rest, and then when he is driving down, you can rest, or since the kids will already be asleep, if he gets too tired, he can pull over at a rest stop for a few hours. then when you get to florida, you watch the kids for a few hours while he takes a nap, he can do the same for you, and that night, start up with you old routine.

The Dynami

http://newsroom.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/11/poverty-in-america-if-poor-people-own-luxury-items-are-they-really-poor/

"âAccording to the governmentâs own survey data, in 2005, the average household defined as poor by the government lived in a house or apartment equipped with air-conditioning and cable TV. The family had a car (a third of the poor have two or more cars). For entertainment, the household had two color televisions, a DVD player, and a VCR,â the Heritage Foundation report reads."

So owning a refrigerator makes one "not poor?" That sounds like conservative logic. Logic being highly suspect, that is.

How am I supposed to mount a DVD player to a TV mounted to the wall with an extending/rotating arm?

tenente

Arlight, my TV is mounted using a rotating (180 degrees)/extending arm. I have an oddly shaped house, and I've mounted my TV to one of the inside corners so I can see the TV from the kitchen, living room, and dining room. It works really well, but I have no idea how to attach a DVD player with the TV, so it rotates with the TV. Any ideas?

Answer
If it will mount on top of the tv, buy 2 inch velcro with adhesive tape on the bottom and use as much as possible.
The velcro has adhesive on the bottom of each piece and it will stick to the tv and dvd player but you can remove it also.
Just make sure you clean the tv and dvd good before you place the tape

Can I connect a Roku to my old TV through my old DVD player?

best dvd player streaming netflix image

Touscents

This is mainly for Netflix streaming. I am not tech-savie. The TV is not in the same room as the computer, but I am thinking my wireless router means that I do not have to physically connect the Roku to the router. Would a Blue Ray DVD player that can stream Netflix be a better choice for me than a Roku?

Answer
The roku box does a lot more than you think so check them out before you buy. http://www.roku.com
A blu ray that connects to the internet will give you Netflix and maybe 3 other apps. Look at what you get before you buy. Each brand gives you some different apps. However, you will be able to play your old dvds in the blu ray and have a better picture.
One thing of caution, in order to go wireless, some blu rays require a wireless lan adapter that can add $70 to the cost. Sony has a built in antenna.
Also, your speed is crucial to getting good results with Netflix. The higher the better but it has to be above 2 mbps. The further your modem is away from the blu ray the more your wireless signal can drop and it's subject to interference from cell phones, cordless phones and any wireless device.

Do Netflix movies lose their quality when streamed from the computer to the TV (by cord)?

yecalrae

I have a blu ray dvd player that does not stream Netflix unfortunately, so I am looking for another solution rather than just going out to buy another bluray disc player. The AT&T installation tech mentioned that I could buy a cord from the Apple store and connect it from my 27" iMac to my HDTV. Will the quality be the same? Will it be full HD? Thanks.

Answer
Computer is more intelligent & powerful than Blu-ray with streaming facility. Only thing is it should have HDMI Port. Then get HDMI cable and see everything on your HD TV with HD quality if your video is in HD.

What is the top plate in a boom box, that spins and weighs a cd or dvd down called?

best dvd karaoke player image

Maliik

I must have lost that part on the dvd/cd player so now every time I try to play a disk in it, it makes this weird grinding sound like the disk is sliding around while spinning. I have a gpx cd/dvd/karaoke player and I want to see if they have those parts, but I'm not sure what its called.

Answer
It is called a clamper.

If it is a door that opens the top rather than a slot or drawer, I would (and have), eliminate the clamper and replace the bottom clamper type spindle with a tri-ball one, from a PS1 or portable CD/DVD player.

Whats the best choice of Karaoke DVD Player?

mitchiko6t

Were planinng to buy a dvd karaoke player. Our choices are Hyundai platinum, Karavision and Promac Cantana. Calling owners of these brands for your comments/review of these products. Can you tell me the best choice in terms of the following
1. price
2. availability/update of songs
3. sound quality
4. number of songs included
5. special features
6. scoring
7. package inclusions

your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
What you will really want is a multi-format karaoke player. Only a fraction of available karaoke music is available on DVD. The most song titles by far are found on CD+G discs.

Will my dual dvd players fit on my head rest?

best dual headrest dvd players image

NSH

I have a Town and Country mini van. My head rest are not adjustable. Does anyone own a Philips 7" Dual-Screen Portable DVD Player, PET7402/37? If so, can you tell me if the straps are horizontal or vertical? My seats are one full seat so Im hoping they are horizontal.

Answer
I would not use strap on headrest monitors,if you get into an accident they will end up in the face of your rear seat occupants.Spend the money and get ones that are securely mounted in the headrests or a flip down unit.

What is the strap called that is used to hold a portable dvd player on the headrest in a car?

C

Is there a "technical" term - because I can't seem to find one online and when I ask if stores the clerks look at me like I'm crazy.
Thanks! We just bought one and because the strap was missing we were able to get it for about $110 [for dual screens] but our kids are so young they drop it more than they watch it. =]

Answer
Tether strap or an adjustable velcro strap.

I have the dual screens in my minivan for my 2 and 5 yr olds, best investment.

Why does my Samsung LCD TV screen have a blue tone when I connect peripherals using component cables?

best dvd player for lcd tv image

bluedecept

I have a 19-inch Samsung flat-screen LCD TV. When I connect peripherals (DVD player, XBox 360, etc.) through the component ports, everything has a blue-ish tone to it. I know it's not the component cables themselves because I've tried 3 different sets of component cables and they all have the same blue tone result. So I'm guessing there's something wrong with the TV itself. If I connect things through other ports (S-Video, Composite, DVI, etc.), everything is fine. Could I possibly have changed a setting on my TV by mistake to make everything blue when connecting things through the component ports? Or is this just an issue with the TV itself? Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer
Sometimes a Samsung LCD can push blue if you have your color settings on "Cool" - and for that matter, ALL TV's have a color push out of the box.

If you want to reduce the blue push, try changing from "Cool" to "Warm" in your picture settings.

Also, check to see if you're receiving blue as a result of your component settings not receiving a "red" or "green" picture. Sometimes it takes a moment to notice, but blue will be pushed because red or green aren't transmitting from your source content (DVD player, or whatever) to your TV.

If that doesn't help, try calling Samsung's toll free phone number - 800-SAMSUNG during M-F normal business hours. That number connects you to one of the three offices in the United States, which is cool that you aren't being rerouted to India.

Good luck to you!

Will the use of component video cables increase the picture quality from my DVD player to my new HDTV?

jaycrazy

I just recently purchased a 32" 720p LCD TV. The DVD quality isn't as sharp as I expected it to be. I'm not yet ready to upgrade to Blu-ray. I'm currently using the composite cables (red, white, yellow). I noticed that my DVD player has component video output and my TV obviously has a component input. I understand the audio will be separate from this.

Will using component video cables noticeably improve the DVD image quality?

Answer
Yes, component cables will definitely improve.
Try also Progressive video out.

Why can't I play a DVD on my computer? How can I make it work?

best dvd player xp free image

Q. I have Windows XP.
I've never tried playing a DVD on my computer before because I have a dvd player. This is a dvd for my statistics class, so i cant simply view it on my tv, i need to do stuff. It won't play on my computers because I think I don't have a dvd decoder.
What do you guys think is the problem and how can I make it play?

Answer
Make sure your computer actually has a DVD drive in it.

It should say "DVD" on the front of it.

If it does say "DVD" on it, try viewing the DVD using the free open source program "VideoLAN," AKA "VLC Player."

If I burn jpeg (or other image file types) onto a blank DVD disc, will it play on a regular DVD player? If not, how can I do this?

You can use software to create slideshow DVD's.

Nero PhotoShow is one of the best slideshow software available. You can download a free trial.
http://www.usnero.photoshow.com/

Ulead cd and dvd picture show 4 is also highly recommended.
http://www.ulead.com/dps/runme.htm

Roxio's PhotoSuite would be another alternative, however Roxio does not match Nero's popularity.
http://www.roxio.com/enu/store/photo.html

Windows PhotoStory 3 is a free alternative if you have XP.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx

Windows Movie Maker is another free choice, which is not all that bad, although there are many more features in the above choices.

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

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.

What are the legal consequences of playing In-Dash DVD player while driving?

J Whodi

If I were to wire my DVD player in such a way, which I know how to do, what would happen if I got caught by law enforcement. Granted, the punishment will differ from state to state, but does anybody know in general what kind of fine/charge this would cause?

Answer
SC $400 + if the cop wants he can have the vehicle towed unless u remove the radio there on the spot......

now one way around this is if u buy the model that has build in navigation.....then as long as u switch it b4 the cop gets to ur window ur good.....


also if u wreck ur car u could b held criminally liable.......not likely but if whoever u hit has a decent lawyer they could go after u....


** btw most ppl i know that have in dash dvd have it wired so it works wile driving....most put a toggle switch under the seat or under the dash that ground it so it works.....flip the switch and the cop can't get the dvd to play so cannot write u the ticket....but have to have switch pretty well hidden......

Is it possible to hook a sub to in dash dvd/navigation?

K G

I have a dodge avenger with the in dash DVD/navigation touch screen. Have a w6 jl audio sub and 500 watt amp for it. Is it harder or even possible to hook it up or do i need to put a standard cd player in?

Answer
Look online for a pinout of the connections on the back of your existing stereo.

Basic wiring you'll need:

1- Power wire from battery to amp (with an inline fuse near the battery)
2- Ground wire from amp to vehicle's steel frame
3- Remote turn on wire either from the head unit (look at pinouts to see if it has one), or from any +12V accessory source in your car (the type that gets voltage only when key is turned to the ON position)
4- Speaker wires from amp to sub

Besides the basic wiring you'll need to do, you will also need to give your amp a sound signal from your head unit. This can be done directly from the speaker wires coming out of the head unit. You will need a hi-lo converter to convert the audio signals from your existing speaker wires to an RCA signal to feed into your amp. Then you'll run a basic stereo RCA cable from the hi-lo converter to the RCA input on the amp. Some amps have speaker level inputs which will allow you to bypass the hi-lo converter. Check your amp for this.

When buying the wiring make sure to get a wiring kit rated for the amount of watts your amp can produce.

Can you hook up two separate portable dvd players to play one movie at the same time?

I wanted to use portable dvd players so my kids can watch them in the car. I already have one portable dvd player and i was just wondering if i can buy another portable dvd player and some kind of cable to sync them ? or would i have to buy the dual screen dvd players?

Answer
In general the answer is no as those devices are output only.

The cheapest solutions are two copies of the same movie or a portable monitor slaved off one player.

Then again you could do digital down loads on lap tops

can I plug in a portable dvd player into my 2004 prius?

Kathy

I would like to take a long road trip with my toddler, and my portable DVD player's battery only lasts about 2 hours. I would like to buy a car-plug-in to use in the Prius, but will it drain the auxillary battery too quickly? I've had trouble in the past with draining the battery, and don't want to be stuck somewhere with my toddler.

Answer
As long as the Prius is in READY mode, the 12V battery will not be drained. I've gone on many long trips in my 2004 with things plugged into the power ports and no problems.

The only time you can have a problem is if the "READY" light does not appear on the dash--then the 12V battery has to supply all the power required.

Do portable DVD players kill your car battery?

Justin

We have dual screen Phillips portable dvd player and the last few times we have used it, we have noticed that after using it the day before for a couple of hours, we have trouble starting our car. It is plugged into the adapter provided by the mini-van. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?
The battery is about a week old.

Answer
it is like leaving your parkers on for a few hours, there is a bit of draw off the battery. you could upgrade your battery to a bigger capacity or you could have an accessory battery that only the screens run off, you could rig it up to the charging system with the appropriate items so it will charge itself.

how old is your battery? maybe it is a sign your battery is a little worse for wear.

How can I get my parents off my back when staying at their home?

best dvd player ever made image

The other

First I should say that they are the ones who constantly beg me to come stay with them and were very angry with me last year for only staying a week during xmas break from grad school. This year, they persuaded me to stay 3 weeks before I have to go back to school and work, but they are driving me insane and its only been 3 days!

I'm in a very intense grad school program that takes a huge toll on my sanity during the semester. I take 16 credits, have an internship, volunteer at clinics, am involved in various orgnizations, and have a very active social life that I try to partake in when I have the time. I go to school in a very large city and live in a tiny studio. I take public transportation everywhere I go, meaning life is always that much more hectic with the subways and busses it takes to just complete my regular activities. I live a fairly stressful life in the city and the final 2 weeks of exams were killer, I hardly slept more than 4 hours a night, and was suffering from constant anxiety attacks due to fear of not getting everything done before xmas.

I finally made it to my parents house the night before xmas eve. They live across the country in a small suburb. I was very tired when I got here, then hardly slept that night becuase there was so much to do for xmas eve and then xmas day. I am still so tired and have not caugt up on the sleep I want to, but my parents wont let me sleep. They have yelled at me for "being lazy" and not cleaning my room (when it is the smallest room ever and is filled with my luggage and new xmas presents). When my mom caught me taking a nap today and saw that my room was messy, she said that I need to make "serious changes in my life". They don't understand that all I want to do right now is sleep in a comfortable bed (which I dont have in the city), sit by the fireplace (my apt has bad heating system), read books that I bought on my kindle but haven't touched (due to having 100s of pages to read for school every week), watch TV and movies (i only have 10 channels on my TV in my studio and no DVD player), and leave the house when I WANT TO. Why won't they just let me relax? At least for the 1st week i'm here? I don't even have many friends in this town and my 2 closest friends work over full time and have to take time out of their busy scheds to see me. I like planning things with them but I don't feel like that yet! I don't feel like wasting more money getting dinner and drinks or stay out late partying right now, I want to relax at home for once!! I went to enough holiday parties and end of semester shin-digs and met up with enough ppl before visiting my parents. I just want to be alone for now! Am I weird for this?

Answer
No weird, your fine. Your parents are just kicking into parent mode. Tell them both that school is a full time job and that you would really like to catch up on some sleep for a day, that's all a single day. That way you can be refreshed

How can a person copy a old vhs movie to a dvd?

Jenn F

I have looked on ebay for this movie on dvd and they only have it on vhs all so.I am not sure if they ever made it on dvd. No other place has it either

Answer
all you need is a VHS player/Recorder and a DVD Recorder ( Blu-ray recorders are available)

You connect your VHS outputs to the inputs of the DVD Recorder, then your TV to the DVD recorder

Then you can convert your old home movies from VHS to DVD

A similar set up will also convert the mini-tapes from the old camcorders

It is also possible to also convert some old shop bought VHS tapes
But many of the later VHS tapes have Embedded copy protection, which DVD recorders are programmed to recognised. They will not record

What film were you seeking
Some of the old films are starting to appear in huge boxsets

How can I play my DVD player through my computer?

best dvd player for computer image

I would like to hook my DVD player to my computer because my CD/DVD rom drive is broken. How can I do this, and will my computer recognize the DVD player as a drive?

Answer
You would need a TV Tuner card to be able to do that.

If your DVD player has composite output, then you should look for a TV Tuner card with composite input.

Then again, replacing the DVD drive would probably be less expensive than buying a TV Tuner card, so buying a new DVD drive is probably the better choice.

Is it possible to use a DVD player with a Computer Monitor?

iKING

I want to use a dvd player with a computer monitor.

Answer
Yes, but you more than likely will need an adapter, as most DVD players I've seen only have composite (yellow AV), S-video, and component outputs, and most monitors only have VGA, DVI, or HDMI inputs. Although I have seen some monitors with composite inputs.
You may need one of these: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=s&hl=en&q=vga+to+s-video&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=15223743978350771745&ei=oBrZSeupHpestgf73KnhDw&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&resnum=1&ct=result#ps-sellers
And a set of speakers of course.
