yup something along that line
you should ask for a region-free player supporting XVID & DIVX
many players exists some have features others don't, you should try to get a player with progressive scan, SVCD&VCD capabilities, you might be interested by a DVD player that can do karaoke

ok..but to use a player thet have progressive scan required a tv that also have it right?i dont have that on my tv...does it mean i can still use it?

yeah you're right but it doesn't really matter, you can still use your tv with it, most of the DVD player supporting XVID/DIVX will support it too Smile

Just a question here:

So can a DVD be burned into a sort of VCD which can be read on a normal VCD player? If so, what is the duration capacity of the DVD? i.e. duration capacity of typical CD-R is 80 minutes. I am using Nero Burning Rom.

A VCD player can only read playable media recorded on CDs. Due to different lasers used, DVDs would be unplayable on VCD players.

If you wish to watch the contents of a DVD on a VCD player, you have to transcode it down, i.e. convert the DVD MPEG-2/4 format down into MPEG-1, and burn it on a VCD.

Naturally this will decrease the quality of the show. Also a DVD can fit up to 2 hours at its standard quality. So two or more VCDs might be needed for a DVD content.

I was thinking of getting this:

TDK AID+1616DLN Dual Format DVD Writer

As far as what I know, it is the best DVD writer out there now, though LG uses an extra DVD-RAM technology.

question here: Can only DVD-R use multisession (i.e. data can be continually added onto it)? What about DVD+R?

Yebyosh · Posted: Fri Mar 11, 2005 11:29 am Post subject:

Any of the discs can be multi-session.

Only the RWs can be rewritten.

ok, I understand now. But I read something about DVD+R is more superior than DVD-R... What is that all about?

I prefer using DVD-R, most of the stand-alone players are compatible with it
I never tried DVD+R up to now
