I just burned my first DVD movie! I first used a DVD-R, then I used a DVD+R and had the same results with each….they play fine on the computer but will only playback on ONE of my THREE DVD players. What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to insure that my movies will play back on most ANY DVD player? Thanks!

We’re told it’s better for the environment if we switch TVs, DVD players, Hi-Fi systems etc off at the plug socket rather than setting them to standby. Can doing this (perhaps several times a day) damage the electrical components inside them?

I watched a movie and noticed that no sound came from the center channel or the rear speakers. Is this normal? Do only certain movies use all channels?

The only DVD’s that will play on any DVD player seem to be the DVD RW’s. The other types won’t work in any of our dvd players. None of our players are older than 3 years old some are as new as 6 months.

I’ve found a bunch of answers that talk a bit about this, but no one actually says what you can do with these dvd player slots. Why do media player companies even include them?

I have a home theatre system (Denon), a laptop pc, a Nintendo Wii, a DVD player and I want to project them all from the home theatre system to a Dell Projector. The Wii and DVD are working fine with Composite cables in the theatre. My laptop has only a S-Video in common with the home theatre and I plugged in one of the open slots. I changed the laptop to project to Monitor/TV and also tried projecting to Monitor/CRT. I changed the source on the home theatre thru every setting and never could get the laptop to display. The projector always just says “searching for source”. It’s connected to the Home Theatre with a single video component cable. The home theatre manual is very user-unfriendly so I’m pushing buttons on the thing trying to get it to work. Does anyone know what I need to do?
Kai,
Thanks for the info. but the laptop works fine when connected directly to the projector. the problem is connecting the laptop to the home theatre which then monitor-outs to the projector. (the projector is ceiling mounted so I can’t hook the pc direct in on a normal basis). No the Pc is not HDMI.

Could anyone tell me some reliable and efficient free dvd players for Windows XP?
I’m using AVS right now.. It looks fine. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Mike asked:


Should I still keep buying the current DVDs, or will they end up like vinyl records, and I’ll have to replace them?

My hope is that the new DVD player technologies will support the older format of DVDs.
