Re: [ARSCLIST] Multi format DVD/CD/SACD, etc Player



I'll betcha this has something to do with user-hostile copy protection of some sort, although I can't see what. A data disc should be a data disc, whether it's 700megs ISO or 4.3 gigs ISO, no?

Tom,

A quick survey of these brands yielded no results if one is looking for a universal player that will play a DVD full of MP3s; also, I believe they are not able to show DVDs full of JPEGs. It looks like the DVD-anythings must be formatted as DVD video (or DiVX). I am sure there must be a strong reason for this, since it sure would be convenient. An expensive workaround may be to buy a Mac Mini and hook it up to the TV. Or, the way of the future will probably be card readers.

Cheers,

Marcos

Geez Marcos, leave it to this list to make me more careful! I just assumed any player that would mount data CDR/W (ie a disc full of MP3) would do the same with a DVDR data disc. Perhaps it has to do with DVD-R and DVD+R? I have no idea -- but it sure is a dumb lack of a feature. To be fair, do a survey of most recent models from Toshiba and Sony and perhaps Philips. Those companies usually strive for universality and "Swiss army knife" solutions.

Don C -- consider a DVD player to replace that one-disc CD player.

[. . .]


Plus, if you ever get into making DVD-Audio discs, these will play it
back -- or make a DVD data disc full of MP3 and have days of background
music.


Tom,


A few months ago I looked and looked but could not find a DVD player that
would play DVDs full of MP3s (as I was hoping) --only CD-Rs. I don't know
why this is. Do you know of one that does?

Happy Boxing Day everyone

Marcos
