Progressive Scan DVD Players are used with Digital EDTV or HDTV's. Although many have an option to turn off the progressive scan, it will not provide a better picture for analog TV's. For more info see....

Help buying new DVD player?

Tyler O

Mine just died so i got to replace it. Im looking at either getting an Upconvert, stand alone blu ray or ps3. I know that the stand alone blu ray upconverts dvds also but i want to know if the ps3 does other wise i dont want one. I have a 50" 720p, is it worth even getting blu ray? If anybody knows about the ps3 and upconverting please tell me. Also how did you chose your current setup.

Answer
If you like playing console games and are even considering getting a blu-ray player than getting a PS3 is your answer. Every consumer electronics expert including CNET rates it as the best Blu Ray player on the market. It does an excellent job up converting also.

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 :)

Hm, Interesting, Just burn the AVI's as a Data DVD Using Anything...

(Cnet.Download.com is a Very Good Site For Downloads)

But it Depends on the AVI Size. (A Normal DVD Holds 4.7GB)
