Hi

Starting from today for 3days, the price is for Rs 1299/- ONLY with 1 yr warranty. But I doubt for its long run.

Anyway I want to know, If I ll burn a DVD/CD with multiple folders/sub-folders inside; will this player can read all the files in all folders/sub-folders recursively ??? And if I'll put the sub title file *.srt in the movie folder will it play the sub-titles ???

Want for ur quick reply. Thank you.

Right off the assembly line
i had converted my ide hard disc to a portable one.It is 80gb.i formatted it to fat32 and is now working fine with the dvd player.There are no folders in mine, only playable files directly with only one drive for entire 80gb.
If u convert to fat32 i think u should be able to play it.
use partition magic software to accomplish changes.

My friend got a LG DVD player
*www.in.lge.com/Product/Products-Details.aspx?pid=5245&cat=255&subcat=DVD Player

I supports divx, xvid, vcd, dvd, mp3, jpeg,
It doesnt play videos above 720x480 resolution,

Is there any DVD player which can playback 720p and higher vids and even h264?
Plus it should even have a USB port and detect even external HDDs.

Why buy seperate DVD players? Most of you guys already have graphics card so why not use the TV out support of graphics card to connect TV to computer & use the DVD player application like PowerDVD or Windows Media Center.

Most people have TV in separate room .

And besides , you need a remote(which you don't get with a pc unless you a buy a TV tuner card which costs as much as a DVD player now)

hmm...point, I guess I am the only one whose computer is for everything :D

I saw that Mosar Baer DVD Player once, Rs 2,800 in E-Zone, how is that?

None of the current stand alone players in India or any other players available internationally are capable of playing HD content which have been compressed with variable codecs.If it goes above standard DVD resolution then it would come up saying resolution not supported.I wish there was a player which could player these matroska & other high definition encoded files.

Just a word of caution...I had bought this passion DVD player almost 5-6 months back. In 2 months time the player stopped working...took it to big bazaar for repairs...got it back after repairs...after that USB stopped working...being lazy I didnt take it back to fix the USB...now for the past 5-6 days it is having a problem switching on..I think it's a problem with the power switch...after trying some 10-15 times it switches on...now today when I tried it's not switching on at all :(
Need to check if I have any warranty left..

Bottomline...I dont think this player's built to last

Edit....more to add to this. The warranty's over!!...so I took my screwdriver and opened the damn thing up.

Surprised to find a 'Sony' mechanism inside. Ok..so maybe it's not so bad quality after all. But the connection between the PCBs and the mechanism and the wiring etc is done very shoddily....probby by some local assembler in Delhi.

The power switch was faulty..they've used some stupid unreliable local switch...I just bypassed the switch and now the player's working.
And....the idiot who serviced my player earlier forgot to plug in the USB connection to the PCB...I connected it back and now the player is fine and USB's working :)

So I dunno...maybe it's not as bad as I thought :D
