Burn any queick time format to DVD player?

Pedro c

Im trying to Burn a short I made convertied it to quick time MOV and wont burn on my PC, what software can I download that would allow to burn any quicktime format to DVD to watch in any DVD player ?

Answer
If you wanna make a DVD that will work on a standard DVD player, you will need a DVD burning tool to do this. Just copy the movie to a DVD disc, it will actually not read by DVD players.

The best and most reliable DVD burning tool that I've ever used is a tool called DVD Creator. It's able to burn all kinds of videos to DVD disc. After that, you can view the DVD on DVD player. It also lets you edit videos and create DVD menus. Easy to use and professional.

You should really give it a try. You may check out at:

Best of luck.

Sony re-branding of Philips DVD players?

LibraryFan

I read in a review that Sony's DVP-SR200P DVD player is just a re-branded Philips machine. My question is whether all of Sony's DVD players are re-branded from Philips, including Sony's DVP-NS710H and DVP-SR500H. Philips has some products labeled "DVP" itself. Does anyone know if this is the case, specifically with the latter two machines? Why would a company re-brand another's machine?

Also, does anyone own either the DVP-NS710H or -SR500H and can give a review of their quality? Thanks!

Answer
Phillips has been the innovator in dvd players much like sylvannia made most of the old picture tubes.
I don't think you will ever find out for sure if Phillips is making dvd players for Sony. But a lot of appliances do the same thing.
I do know that Phillips is coming out with the first dvd player that will play all dvds in Full Screen.

My blu ray player will play DVD's but not blu ray movies, Why is that?

Drew

It says can not load disc but it will play some blu ray movies but most of them it will not play. I just bought contraband and a few other new blu ray movies and it will not play them. The player is only 6 monthes old, what do I need to do?

Answer
First of all have you ever updated your Blu-Ray player's firmware before from the default that came along. IF NOT go to player's website and look for the firmware to the model of your player. Sometime you need to do that in order to play certain movies, IF there are NO parts problems. When I first got Terminator 2: Judgment Day Skeynet Edition it would not load up to the menu screen and stay at the loading wait on my Pioneer BDP-51FD. So I looked online for info, and that got me to do my very first firmware update, and NOT leave it at the default firmware that came along. This was back in late May or early June of 2010. After I updated the firmware to 1.65 from the company's site. I had never update my Blu-Ray player's firmware since I got it in mid February of 2009.

I had this problem when the remake of True Grit was released back in June of 2011. I got it the second or third day. The first time I put it in my Pioneer BDP-51FD it would not play, after it finished saying closed and went to loading. It would stay at that to a certain point(I would guess it always the same amount of time), and then a message would show up on the HDTV screen and player's little screen saying "Can't Play This Disc" and Unknown Disc. Back then I didn't know what was going on, The first seven time I have try it in the player, it did not play at all, and the same thing happen. Altogether I try the disc in the player 22 times with in a week and three days. It only worked three different times in the player. Then my guess was that either the disc hates my player the player hates the disc or this disc of True Grit out of so many made has problems. I just return it to Costco in the end, but before doing that I did try the disc on my friend's PS3, and it work the first time in there. I also tryed it on my uncle's Sony Blu-Ray player, it also worked the first time in there.

Move forward to mid August 2011 certain Blu-Rays I got way before the release of True Grit(remake) had worked in the my Pioneer player with no problems. The first one I notice with that problem was Casino, I had got that back in early April of last year, and it had always worked. Ever since mid August more and more started not to play on the player, with the same problem as True Grit. What I have notice was when it would not play and with the same messages is that there is no fan like spinning sound, when it does disc loading. I have also sat in front of the Blu-Ray player, with the TV sound turn down to listen and notice no fan like spinning sound. When I first had this problem I had also found two forums with sections devoted to my player. One is a section at http://www.avsforum.com, with 1009 pages, and at http://www.blu-ray.com. As time went on the Blu-Rays that did not play on the Pioneer, that had worked before with no problems are The Magnificent Seven, Cop Out, Miami Vice, Public Enemies, Never Say Never Again(sometime works sometime don't), Spy Game, Apocalypse Now, Die Hard With A Vengeance(sometime works sometime don't), and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I Have not try all of my Blu-Rays in the player. Sometime new ones I get will not play the first time in the player like Taken, Pulp Fiction, Rounders, X-Men: First Class and The Guns Of Navarone. Sometime there are new one that will still play first time in the player, like Cowboy And Aliens. It just will it still play as time go by say two and half months later.


What the people on the two forums have said was either one of these is the problem

The laser lens is dirty (Use a Blu-ray laser lens cleaner to clen it the kind that come with a brush. IF it more stubborn, open up the player and use Q-tip to clean it.)

The laser lens is starting to die

The drive could be starting to die( one person said the drive for the model I have, have known problem)

They say it has nothing to do with the firmware update, which I did do since I updated mine from 1.65 to 1.71 when there was problems with playing True Grit and then to 1.72 when my older Blu-Rays started not to play that use to with no problem. And still the problem is still there for me.


One thing no one have said was how to tell is the laser lens just dirty and it not starting to die at all. Alos that there are NO parts problem.

When I told my uncle about it, he told me it parts can't be dying at all. It must be like a record player when there a little piece of bread crum on it, it will not play the record in it right way. I have yet to buy a blu-ray laser lens cleaner and try that. I know all those disc will work in another player. Right now 100% no problems with the DVD and CD side of the Blu-Ray player.

The best thing for you is to ask a home theater expert or store a worker that sell this kind of stuff like at Best Buy and Magnolia Hi-Fi or those good mom and pop kinds. Also try the disc at friend and relative's player to see does it work. Last of all look for forums devoted to your player, and post questions

RW Compatible DVD Players?

Xander

My mom found some old VHS tapes of some family reunions and get-togethers. She asked me if I could transfer them to DVD.

I have a DVD burner that can play and burn on DVD -RWs, DVD +RWs, DVD -Rs, and DVD +Rs.

I went to get the tapes from her and looked at her DVD player and all it said was "RW Compatible."

Does this mean that is can only play DVD RWs? And if if can, does that mean it can play +RWs and -RWs?

Or does it mean it can play DVD -Rs, DVD -RWs, DVD +Rs, and DVD +RWs?

Thanks.

Answer
Hi Xander,

The RX compatible simply tells you it can use a RW DVD. Many units will not play RW DVD's.

Her machine probably supports either +R or -R media but your safest bet is to probably use DVD-R media. That being the oldest format it will play in just about any player ever made.

To be safe I would take a DVD you burned and play it in her machine.

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

best dvd player ever made image

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

What is the best way to conenct these audio components?

Franz

I just bought an intro home theater system. It includes an LG 32" LCD HDTV with HDMI, a Yamaha HTR-5840 6.1 surround receiver, two Klipsch Synergy F-1 speakers, and a Sony DVP-NS70H DVD/CD player with HDMI.

In order to get the BEST quality out of this combination, how should I connect everything?

I currently have the HDMI from the TV to the DVD directly since the receiver doesn't do HDMI. I then have a coax from the DVD to the receiver, and a fiber from the TV to the receiver.

1. Is this going to give me the best possible sound for what I have right now, or should I reconfigure it a bit?

2. Is fiber or coax better?

3. When I turn on my DVD and receiver to play a CD, I also have to turn on the TV. When I turn on the TV though, it doesn't see the DVD player until I force the menu to choose HDMI as a primary output. Is there any way to make the DVD visible to the TV by default?

Answer
Whenever in doubt, keep things digital for as long as possible by using Digital I/Os. It appears that you are already doing that. If this is the case, then you should be getting the best signal reproduction that your receiver can deliver!

Keeping things digital for as long as possible, decreases the chances of Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and eliminates the effect of this interference, which in the end, provides you a window of opportunity to maybe not buy the "Highest Quality" interconnect cable. Simply, 1s and 0s are 1s and 0s that all represent amplitude and frequency. Truly, how would you lose any signal, using 1s and 0s to represent that signal? Without signal loss, then the most accurate reproduction of the source material is practically guaranteed (of course, limited by the capabilities of your receiver). Of course signal loss is a product of using metal based conductors (such as with coaxial connections as opposed to the light-based operation of fiber-optic technology), but unless you plan on having your source equipment in one state and your receiver in another, this provides no further complication in having to purchase Monster Cable digital interconnectors,

Another thing, start saving now for a new receiver! Although Yamaha will always be remembered by me as my first receiver manufacturer once I began seeking high-quality equipment, their quality has decreased with their insistence on providing more budget oriented receicers. Although I would unwaiveringly purchase a Yamaha budget over one made by Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, or Panasonic, there are more capable receivers that are more accurate by other less well known manufacturers such as Denon and Harman/Kardon. Attempt to get a receiver with the highest quality Burr-Brown Digital-to-Analog conversion. High quality DACs are your final chance at getting the best sound quality from your system! Look around the net (visit manufacturers' websites and such) until you find the receiver that melts your heart! Upon finding that "magic-receiver," search online retailers to discover the least expensive manner in which you can obtain it.

Truly, the most important pieces of your sound system come before the loudspeakers! In reality, the best DVD Player with comparable quality digital signal interpretation to maintain signal integrity is most appropriate! Read reviews of source equipment published in Home THeater focused magazines such as "Home Theater Magazine" and "Sound and Vision Magazine" (which was formerly known as "Stereo Review").

You deserve it!

Especially with those Klipsches! The fact that Klipsch generally produces highly efficient loudspeakers, receiver power requirements can be scaled back a little to get a higher quality (build-wise) receiver to bring out the ambience and presence of the Klipsches! Although I do not personally own any Klipsch loudspeakers, I have yet to be let down by any Klipsch based listening session.

With that said about the in-store listening sessions hardly ever being letdowns, I don't see any reasonable explanation as to why you should be let down in your own home.

...

Regarding your other questions, you should really examine your DVD Player's manual to see if you can set HDMI as the default output method, that way, you won't have to "force" it everytime... There's no reason to have any other output as the default since you are using specifically the HDMI interconnection to deliver the digital video information.

Finally, with the question of which digital interconnection is better between coaxial and fiber-optic, remember that the chance of signal loss is far less with fiber-optic connections, because light can travel much farther through a tube than an electrical pulse through a metal conductor. In the end, again, if money is the issue, coaxial connections use the same RCA cable that your analog devices have used over the years.

Using fiber-optic based installation prevents corrosion, for there is no metal connector that can corrode. However, again, be advised that there is no direct quality improvement by using fiber-optic interconnection for your device as opposed to coaxial, for a 1 is a 1--whether it is being transferred over coaxial or fiber-optic cable.

I would say to use the coaxial I/O to save money initially, but look forward to making use of the fiber-optic connection as time moves forward or if you're thinking of permanently installing the receiver in a particular location.

Hope that helps!

Happy listening!

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 I hook up a VCR and a DVD to a cable box then to my TV?

best dvd player ever made image

justinband

I have a Sanyo TV from the 90's. It does NOT have any A/V slots only one spot on the back for a coax cable.
I would like to hook up a Emerson VCR ,a Philips DVD player, and my cable box to the same TV.
I tried running a line from the wall to the VCR then to the cable box and then to the TV and used A/V cords to hook the DVD player to the VCR. That made my cable picture terrible. I tried moving the A/V cord from the VCR directly to the cable box. No change.
Even when I don't hook up the DVD player at all and attempt to run just from the VCR to the cable box to the TV....I can't seem to ever get the VCR to display a video on any channel both with the cable box on or off.

HELP!!
What is the correct way to hook this up so that it all works without me having to unhook the cable and hook up my VCR or DVD player every time I want to watch something other than TV?
You cannot hook the cable box to the DVD player because DVD players do not have coax type connectors.
The TV stays on channel 3. I change the cable channel using the cable box only (which displays what channel I am currently watching)

Answer
You need 1 cable splitter, 1 coax cable switch box, 1 RF modulator and several pieces of coax.

Cable that comes from wall - hook up to cable splitter. One output of splitter goes to the cable box in. Other output of splitter goes to VCR in. Output of cable box goes to cable switch box. Output of VCR goes to input of RF modulator. Output of RF modulator goes to cable switch box. DVD player hooks up to RF modulator via A/V cables.

Position 1 of cable switch box will enable you to watch cable box. Position 2 of cable switch box will enable you to watch VCR or DVD player.

Hooking it up this way will enable you to tape one show while watching another.

Have you gotten rid of your old DVD player to have space for your new Blu-Ray player or did you keep both?

Bright

I have a very good sony blu ray player (that I hardly ever use). I would like to stack it with my others underneath my tv, but it's so high that I'm afraid it would fall in an earthquake if I did that. What do you think, keep the cheaper to replace DVD player or change it in favor of the blu ray player?

Answer
apparently blu-ray can play DVDs as well as its own blu-ray disks. but still... i'm sticking to the now classic DVD player. what's the rush? feels like just yesterday we made the switch from VCR to DVD! so keep the blu-ray bc it can play both i guess. i mean since you already bought it, don't let it go to waste.
