yes but how many do you actually use *lol* ?

17-10-2003, 22:21

I haven't got one as such, not a separate one anyway, only the one on my pc, and Ive only used that once as a dvd player

djchrissy · 17-10-2003, 22:22

i have often wondered that - who actually uses MP3 cd's and Audio CD's on their DVD Player.

I do however use my dvd player to play JPEG Discs, VideoCD's, but i have never tried the multi-region feature as i have no multi region discs

17-10-2003, 22:33

I sometimes burn off a selection of MP3s/WMAs onto a CDRW and go listen to them in bed

i think that would be quite useful if you had good audio on your TV. just wondering how large cd's would work - i guess there is a built in "tree" style navigation system ?

> and would it work with all bandwidths ?

oooh

didn't know that

magic · 18-10-2003, 00:42

Blimey! my portable mp3 player doesn't even sort VBR (but it is goodmans

)

Let's see, DVD, CDA, CD mp3, VCD and that's all I've tried. Yeah it plays CDR too, didn't seem to like CDRW though.

kev · 18-10-2003, 01:28

Mine does
MP3's* - annoyingly it uses the file names to display - nice when your filenames are a mess but you have spent hours correcting the ID3 tags! And exoctic characters like é break the name down, meaning that letter is missing, as are the following ones

To access a song - foldername - filename

DVD-R
DVD+R
DVD+RW
DVD-RW
CD-R*
CD-RW*
VCD*
SVCD*
Audio CD's*
Region 1 DVD's*
Region 2 DVD's*
Region 3 DVD's
Region 4 DVD's*
Region 5 DVD's
Region 6 DVD's
Region 0 DVD's
Region 1 RCE DVD's
JPEG Discs*
I think it might do Kodak Picture Discs too but i'm not sure...
my dads got the newer version which IIRC also plays WMA and WMA/MP3 combo discs....

I've used all the *'ed ones - Seams to cope better with my scratched CD's - and saves having the PC whiring away to play MP3's

Channel Hopper · 18-10-2003, 01:37

Video Discs dont play in mine, but almost anything else does

its a Yelo thing that I found in a skip with a PSU fault, complete with remote and battery , and was fixed for a £2 component

Bitchin ! (and it has manual disable of the macrovision via the remote)

18-10-2003, 01:54

I downloaded this program for mine, just put it on a laptop with infra-red, and it send special codes to it, and makes it multi region and turns macrovision off

pericom · 18-10-2003, 02:50

Everything in this thread + DVD-RAM.

chrisbartley · 18-10-2003, 08:34

I do! We don't have a hi-fi anymore, just use the DVD player. Plus it will play SACD's
