But if this is going to be used for your main TV or in your home theater it might be worth considering a full fledged Blu-ray player as they are backwards compatible with DVDs, have HDMI outputs for higher resolution TVs, and will usually upscale lower-resolution DVDs to give you better image quality. If you're purchasing this for just DVDs alone then it will do the job fine.
Anyone wishing to play Blu-ray discs will need to spend extra money on another device that will take up both shelf space and an additional video input on their TV. Something else to keep in mind is that this is just a DVD player - it lacks Blu-ray playback capabilities. Should you own an old CRT TV or EDTV from decades ago then you're in luck as those are the perfect display for this DVD player and will be the best match for its video output. The video output on the DVD player itself will always be 480i (the lowest resolution for home video) which means the picture will look worse the higher your display's resolution is.

A lot of this also depends on what you are watching and the TV it is connected to: lower resolution HDTVs from 720p to 1080p will look decent whereas any TV with a higher resolution will probably look much worse. Due to that, video output varies from generally acceptable to blurry and grainy.
It works well as a standard DVD player, although it is limited in its output capabilities since it only has composite video out (the standard yellow/white/red cables offering the worst available picture quality). This LG DVD player is an inexpensive DVD player that would seem outdated even if it were released 15 years ago (this review was written July 2016, to put the time-frame into perspective). But I know, you don't need help ripping, so I'm sorry I mentioned it.Basic DVD player, limited connectivity options, severely outdated
Copying divx to dvd software#
You also seem to be asking, "Why does software react to low-level read errors that way, instead of just barging ahead?" There are two answers: in the common "it's really just a temporary error", case, retry logic is usually a good thing-it's just the crazy copy protected disk case where it's bad.Īnd the other answer is: there is software plenty of software out there that does in fact barge ahead, and can make copies of these disks. Or maybe it will slow down to a snails pace as the software retries again and again. Maybe the read will fail after too many errors. These bad sectors will cause all sorts of low-level read errors during a byte-for-byte copy. However, those sectors are NOT part of the actual content-when you play the DVD in a $50 player, none of those sectors are actually used. Here's one way to make "byte-for-byte" ripping hard: create lots of bad sectors randomly all over the disk. posted by AmbroseChapel to Computers & Internet (25 answers total) 2 users marked this as a favorite Then I would burn it back, and leaving single/dual layer issues aside, I'd have a copy of the DVD. I guess my fundamental question is, why can't my computer just provide me with an exact copy of every byte on a disk? That seems, to me, simpler than what it's actually doing. I'd live with the error if it let me just click "burn anyway". It says there's an error and it can't continue. It's a little scratched, let's say at about 20 minutes in, the video goes all artefacty and the audio is stuffed for a few seconds. Why doesn't the computer just read whatever bytes are on the disk, or at least, why isn't there a preference for it to do so? For instance, I was just trying to copy a VCD with Toast.
How do the film companies introduce stuff into a DVD which causes a $3,000 computer to choke, but my $50 DVD player happily plays it without question? Same with a disk that's a little scratched or worn.I was just puzzling over two things - how is it that a DVD is just a long string of bytes on a disk, just like anything else, but it's so hard to get them off? I know quite a bit about computers, but next to nothing about files and I/O and the bits of computing this relates to. Just to get this out of the way, I don't need help ripping DVDs.
