DVD, RIP?
Charles Kuffner on 2004/04/23:
„Just as consumers are beginning to get comfortable with their DVD players, electronics manufacturers are set to introduce next-generation discs that store more — and would be harder to copy.“

Home Theater Recommendations for 2Q04
rich on 2004/04/20:
„The main thing is to get one that doesn't have bugs in its video. DVD players are in an interesting state. Right now the el cheapo $200 player from Panasonic X30 or the Denon 1600 (is the same player as the X30 as long as you set it to Auto 1) is one of the best around. Go figure.“

SOA Home Theater
vinoski on 2004/04/06:
„Today, video sources such as DVD players tend to support multiple connection choices: RCA, S-video, and component video. Depending on the quality of service I desire, I pick whichever one I want. Component video gives me the best video quality, S-video next, and the lowest common denominator RCA after that.“

Potentially the Favorite Toy of Every Copyfighter
Ernest on 2004/03/26:
„Apex Digital , makers of famously inexpensive DVD players ($30!), has just announced the final specs for its soon-to-come, potentially revolutionary new PC Game Console/DVD player/PVR (Apex Digital Finalizes Spec for DVD Player/PC Game Console ). This will be the first major consumer device that really pushes convergence to the current, practical limits and, at a suggested retail price of $499, it seems pretty well-priced. It may not get everything right (first generation devices usually don't), but who knows?“

8.5GB DVD drives hit the stores
Alex on 2004/03/22:
„These double-layer DVD+R discs can contain about four hours of DVD-quality video or 13 CD-ROMs worth of data, which can be accessed without the need to turn over the disc. Another key advantage of double layer DVD+R is its compatibility with existing DVD Video players and DVD ROM drives. In addition to the PC drive, Philips will be among the first to introduce a double layer, 8.5GB disc.“

Rural India's Window to the World
Suhit Anantula on 2004/03/18:
„Said Mr Anil Khera, director - marketing, Sansui Ltd: “Slowly, and gradually, the VCD systems segment in the rural market will get shifted to the DVD systems this year. And, as part of the strategy, we hope to sell at least half a million pieces of VCD and DVD players across the country, this year, as compared to the 50,000 pices we had sold during the previous corresponding period. With the move, we feel that we should be able to achieve the respective volume growth in the rural segment, as well.”“

Risk taking
Simon on 2004/03/02:
„Being on the border of China and yet one of the richest places on Earth means there is a constant flow of good quality yet cheap products hitting the market here. For example DVD players. We have purchased a couple of Chinese made players that have worked perfectly and cost less than US$100 each. However recently one of them has had trouble loading DVDs.“

You can't watch DVDs you bought
Brian on 2004/02/22:
„But this is a silly way to look at things. We don't give licenses to inanimate objects like DVD players. We give licenses to people. So it's just nutty to say that the purchaser of a DVD doesn't have an implied license to decrypt CSS.“

A New Hope
savs on 2004/01/26:
„I'd have watched them more recently, but for the last few years since my lodgers moved out I haven't had a video recorder. I've not felt like buying one as I don't watch enough TV to want to record stuff, and VCRs are totally inferior to DVD players for viewing.“

Thanks, Santa, but...
Linkmeister on 2003/12/25:
„Delighted, that is, until it came time to plug them into the televisions. The one in the family room has multiple audio/video RCA plugs (good thing, because I got my Mom an MSN TV receiver, which also needs those plugs); the one in the kitchen is fitted only with a coaxial cable plug, so it won't accept the DVD players' RCA jacks. I guess this means I need some sort of intermediate gadget to go between the two devices. An RF modulator, maybe?“
