DVD players are AWSOME!!!!
 

After looking at my DVD player, in the box, sitting on the floor for 6 months, I finally hooked it up last night. I watched "Time Machine." A good movie. I am astounded by the sound and picture quality versus a VHS tape. Amazing!!!! And the special efects fun you can have is a lot of fun too!!!

Does anyone know of any good offshore DVD's other than the WAY over priced ones I've seen??? Any at the rental stores??

welcome to the 90's

no , just joined freezeframe video club, my DVD's are on the way:D i do agree DVD is the @#$%

you mean besides Feeze frame???
Want to borrow some of mine?

If no one takes offense to this, I can take a DVD, Convert it to Video CD (VCD) and copy the VCD a few times then Woila---a new VCD every so often for everyone....

Hyperbaja, you've got email.:)

Advantage Rob, I love the 90's!! Glad to be here. ??? LOL!!!

foul, seriously where have you been? you're killing me. ;)

Hey, I got the thing thru an AOL discount deal.....they sent it to me promptly....in MAY!!!! Then all hell broke loose with my boat and I don't watch much t.v. in the summer anyway.....so there it sat, in the box, on the floor all summer. Now it's hooked up!!!

Is that gay porn? :D:D:D

Hyper, what do ya get 80 minutes or so on a disc?
I had trouble getting complete movies on so I scrapped the software. Waiting for a better version.
What software are you using???

American Hot Boats is selling a new DVD about performance boating on Lake Havasu......really great price, like $20 to $30 or something. It's from the Spring Heatwave Poker Run earlier this year.

No ****, I thought you were hip!:D

Smart Ripper
Flask MPEG ver 5.94--
TmpgENC
Then Nero Burning Rom

actually you can get 70 more on a cd then stated on it because burning an audio cd takes 70 megjust for the cd player to be able to read it.

Hey Foul next thing you are going to start to tell us about the cool round things that are in your truck that when you insert them into the slot in the dash board music comes out!!! :p :p Yup two times the quality of VHS and digital audio (you will know about that in another ten years at your rate). Waite tell you see HDTV!! :D:D

"Black Hawk Down" on my new Mitsubishi 55 inch widescreen HDTV........:eek::eek::eek:. Welcome to the new age, 'foul.....

Technology... You either love it or hate it :D :mad:

I just got a CD burner for my computer and it is dam cool.

Hey Foul, your doing better than me dude. I have yet to purchase a DVD player:eek: :eek:
I figure if I dont have time to watch TV, what are the chances I am going to watch a movie.

Glad to hear you like it. I've heard great things about them but have never even seen one in action.

Guess I'm stuck in the 80's too:rolleyes:

Now I don't feel so bad, I bought a suround sound amp/processor when I bought my last TV and that SOB sat on my floor for quite a few months before I actually hooked it all up (yeah all the speakers sat dormant also:rolleyes: )

Now that's debatable. :p

I haven't switched to DVD yet either.... I have WAAAAY to much porn on VHS !!

Has anyone brought a SONY DVD PLAYER FROM JEFF FREEZE FRAME? DO THEY WORK?

Ain't that the truth. But you know it will be easier sneaking the dvd's out of the newsstand than the bulky vhs's.:D :D :D

Gee, I've had one for three years already and looking to replace it with a newer model.
Cost me 200+ back then and a similar model today goes for 80.
Been working on buying DVD's to replace my VHS tapes. Have over 100 VHS tapes and about 100 DVD's now.

Has anyone found a DVD that doesn't play right or not play at all?
I have.
Sent several of them back to various distributors for replacement.

The unit is a Sony and is good. He is just doing it as a service to people, not to make money. It is a great deal and they are good players.

If you have a older player it could be that it will not read some of the new DVD's. The newer DVD's have multi layer stuff on them and the Lasers can not pick up the info.

Jon

I have the same Sony as the one Jeff is selling. I think I even paid 10 bucks more at the local retailer.

It works great on all DVDs. You can't go wrong with a Sony.

Remember, your kids play station will also play DVDs. Not sure about the new ones like Jeffs, but it's worth a try.

foul
I plan on hooking up my Sony Betamax next week.

I just realized, most of you guys on this board are probably not old enough to remember VHS vs Beta.
OMG, I feel really old.
Gary

I still have a Beta Player..... So much better then VHS. BUt oh well another marketing mistake by the Japanese.:eek: :eek: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :p :p

Hey Audio.... will my play station2 play dvd's as well as a dedicated player? I know it is supposed to play cd's, dvd's, but I don't know if it can play cdvd's? What do you think? Tx. Bill
