Latest Yakumo Xl2 Multi Region Dvd Player Information
Playing DVDs under GNU/Linux has not had the happiest of histories, what with the DeCSS debacle and subsequent legal battle. So you'd be forgiven for thinking that you will never be able to play your DVDs on your GNU/Linux system. Luckily, this is not the case, and there are several applications available for you to download and use. The issue with DeCSS is still with us but is slowly getting clearer. However, this has left some of the DVD players officially not supporting encrypted DVDs, although unofficially, playback is possible via third-party additions. Well, assuming you already have a TV and assuming that you might like to be able to move your DVD player around with a minimum of trouble, Sony has an affordable portable DVD player that you might want to check out. The PSYC, as Sony calls it, is a DVD player that can also play audio CDs as well as CD-R/CD-RW discs that are loaded with MP3s. The PSYC weighs less than three pounds and is quite compact when compared to the traditional rectangular stereo component shape of most DVD players. The PSYC is even able to be color matched to your room: the player comes with a silver background from the factory, but there are three color panels that you can insert to change its looks. Another year of the Consumer Electronics Show unveils a new crop of portable DVD players with interesting features. Swivel screens, wireless headphones and tablet designs are just a few of the new portable DVD player ideas coming in 2005. Portable DVD players are hot items for those who want to take their DVDs with them on the road. Many manufacturers have put out portable DVD players which offer lots of cool features. The holidays have come to an end. It seems like just yesterday thanks were being given, wrapping paper was being torn to pieces and you were nursing that New Year's hangover. Through it all, you've probably snapped dozens, hundreds-maybe thousands-of digital pictures. Now you've got a hard drive full of snapshots, all dressed up with no place to go. Some of your family and friends have dial-up accounts, so you can't send a slew of pictures that way, and you can't expect them all to come to your house to view the pictures. Heck, maybe some of them don't even own a computer. What to do? Why not create a disc that will play in a DVD player, with your images as a slideshow and maybe some nice holiday background music? With a CD burner, you can create a VCD-a CD which will play in most newer DVD players. (Our DVD player is at least four years old, and it plays VCDs). Samsung's DVD-V4600 DVD/VCR combo has a full complement of AV inputs and outputs for its 4 Head HiFi VCR section, as well as composite, component, and S-Video outputs for the DVD side. There is both a digital optical and digital coaxial output for DD 5.1 and DTS soundtracks. The DVD side is compatible with CD, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and (VCD) discs. For TVs with no AV inputs, the DVD-V4600 also has RF outputs. Where's My (Bleeping) Sex? Who wants a DVD player that automatically deletes all the juicy bits of movies? One guess. Companies that will, without anyone asking them to, protect us from media evildoers and exposed flesh and scary exploding things and that part in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" wherein the universe is blessed, for the briefest of moments, with the joy of Kate Winslet's radiant nipples. New Wireless Home Solution Connects the Home Entertainment Center and Home Network Together for the Delivery of Internet and Digital Content. Linksys®, a division of Cisco Systems, Inc., and the leading global manufacturer of broadband, wireless, and networking hardware for home and Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) environments, today announced a new wireless multimedia product called the Linksys DVD Player with Wireless-G Media Link (WMLD54G) which includes a high-end progressive scan DVD player and the capability to wirelessly distribute digital video, music, and pictures stored on a PC to view and play on a TV and/or stereo system. The holiday shopping guides were all atwitter over the new DVD formats, Blu-Ray and HD-DVD-competing systems for recording and playing back high-definition movies. Both feature hugely increased pixel counts, more bit-depth and a surfeit of storage. But here's an important question that goes unasked in all the hype: What features won't your next-generation DVD device have? Your DVD might not be the first device that springs to mind as a channel for connecting your PC to your home entertainment system, but why not? DVD players can already handle some of the files stored on your PC: MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 movies and in many cases MP3s. And DVD players are already on good terms with your TV and your sound system. Add a PC card slot for wired or wireless networking; toss in support for WMA music, MPEG-4 video and JPEG still images; and you've got yourself a pretty good PC-to-entertainment-center bridge.
