RE: Pointless Question

The picture is better on a monitor than on TV because the monitor has a higher definition, more pixels and because as it is progressive it has not Kell effect that reduces the resolution about the 30%. Also the TV`s are overscanned, that means part of the picture is not visible.
But the TV has an advantage: The images are more brilliant and the natural colours are better rendered on a TV.
Thus if you are going to read small letters it is better a monitor on the hand a scene about nature is more real on a TV.

RE: Who`s the greatest, Pacino or De Niro?

`Heat` - Number one film !
Why? There is another film with de Niro and Pacino and that is one the greatest films. What is the title?.
De Niro and Pacino are the best actors that overact.
The best actors are always British: Michael Caine, Charles Laughton,
Sean Connery, Laurence Oliver etc.

RE: What is MP3?

MP3 stands for MPEG-1 (audio) layer 3.
CDDA Compact disk digital audio is not WAV format. It is raw audio
2 channels sampled to 44.1 KHz with 16 bits/sample.
Mp3 reduces the space in disk roughly ten times.
MPEG-2 is the compress method used in DVD for video.

About Eprom/flash of SCAN/Manhattan/Daewoo/Emerson

I have bouhgt an Emerson DVD player that is a clone of Manhattan, Scan,Daewoo etc.
I have opened it and I have discovered that it has not a flash device. It has an OTP eprom (ATMEL 27C040).
Well I can write a new firmware with a new version in a new Device.
Somebody knows if is posible to use a flash device? (there is a socket).
The firsts units from SCAN came with a EPROM that were updated with a FLASH device?.
Thanks.
