RE: Has there been an all in one DVD freeview Dvd player invented?
a HTPC (Home Theatre PC) would do what you require
RE: Anyone got a hack for a Silver Crest KH6510 DVD

RE: SATA HDD for £50 budget
If your looking for quiet drives then the samsung spinpoint series are very quiet. Also you could look at the 250 Gb Western Digital WD2500KS. I have the 320GB model in a media PC & its very quiet,fast & runs cool too.
RE: LiteOn DVD writer only £17.99 +p&p
I used to always buy LiteOn Drives but moved away from them due to poor quality burns on various media. I bought a Pioneer 111D last week & am delighted with it. Even better than my NEC drives, which have always been good.
Spend a couple of quid extra & go for Pioneer

RE: Nokia 3100 Refurbished PAYG O2 £9.99 Incl P&P
Mine arrived too but seems to be locked to O2 :(
A bit uncertain about unlocking it as apparently you only get 5 tries before you need a cable to do it.
I found my IMEI no OK but am unsure about the other stuff ie
GEN
DCT4
GID1
DCT3
RE: Nokia 3100 Refurbished PAYG O2 £9.99 Incl P&P

RE: 50 DVD-R spindle packs...£9.01 from Staples!!! - Now BOGOF!
Damn, Our Office World in Edinburgh won`t offically be a staples til the end of the month - phoned them up to see if they had this deal :(
RE: Blackadder complete £29.99
Its coming up as £42.99 now :(
RE: 19" TFT Monitor at £346 at ebuyer.co.uk
There`s also half price shipping with them this weekend too :)
RE: Pacific 1002W Dvd Player
Yes, but asda will give you a 3 yr warranty for free - worth the extra couple of quid IMO
RE: A good, cheap NICAM, Hi-Fi VCR required..
Goto Asda as you get 3 yr guarantee for nothing on VCR`s. Took back a faulty Aiwa the other week (2yrs old ) got a credit note @ 1 store & bought a sanyo for £99.99 @ another one.
They had cheaper ones than that too.
Pioneer DVD 454 (Silver)
I have one of these in silver & am considering sellling. Wondering what its worth? I bought it from Richer Sounds so I can use the extra warranty & trade it in (£90 back) or sell it.
I have the original box cables, etc & its in mint condition.
What do you think?
TIA
Alistair

RE: Help please - printer catridges

use them all the time for my Epson 880 no problems
RE: pioneer dv454 and dv 444?
Yes I got one and its great plays:
DVD-R , DVD-RW and everything thing else I`ve tried.
Highly recommended. I got mine from Avland Region Free of course
RE: Pioneer dv 454 any ideas?
I just bought one of these online for £154.99 & its great. Plays everything I`ve given it so far: DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD, VCD, MP3. I would highly recommend it.
RE: DVD Player Upgrade - help!
Thanks for the info - I`ll compare the 2
I see the difference is that the 454 has optical output whereas the 350 does not. Looks like the 454 then.

DVD Player Upgrade - help!
I`ve just sold my AIWA 370 & looking for a new player. I`m looking to spend < 200 quid & want it to have the following:
Region Free
Optical & S -Video Output
DTS Output ( maybe standard now?)
DVD,DVD-R,DVD-RW,CD,MP3 ( >=192k),CDR,CDRW,VCD ( SVCD - if possible)
The reason I sold the aiwa was because of DVD-R & DVD-RW probs.
Any suggestions?
RE: DVD burning on Pioneer A04
OK
I`m going to try a burn on a DVR Datasafe. I`ve been trying it out on a White Label RW. Just to save disks. I`ve heard that Passi Primo & Vob something or another (bundled with the retail versions) are the best for writing. Can anyone point me in the direction of where OEM copies are obtainable?
Actually. I get my disks from the same place they do (locally).

RE: DVD burning on Pioneer A04
I bought an A04 at the weekend but when I record on to a White label DVD RW it plays ok on the PC but not on my Aiwa.
I tried using Smartripper to rip to hard disk and then Nero (latest one) & stomp record max but got the same result both times.
Any ideas what I`m doing wrong ?

RE: AIWA 370 & SVCDs ?
I think your missing the point - SVCD is Super Video CD and not just straight forward VCD. Unfortunately, this is definately no-go with the 370 (tried it too).
RE: Rambo Boxed Set ?
I bought the Rocky Boxed Set not the Rambo One from Woolies (£34.99)
I decided to buy the Rambo disks from Futureent for 32.97 for all 3 not too bad considering the boxed set seems to be around 50quid
RE: Sony DVD Player DAV-S300 299pounds SONY DVD PLAYER DVPS336 149pounds
you could get richer sounds to pricebeat it. there machine is multiregion chipped already
Rambo Boxed Set ?
I have the Rocky set set from Woolies. Where is the cheapest place to get the Rambo one ?
RE: Can a DivX movie be played on a DVD player?
I downloaded The Mummy Returns, a 600MB divx file, split it in 2 and re-encoded to VCD. It plays very well on my DVD
