Question about DVD external HD (Blue Ray) players with Tecra M5

I have a laptop TECRA M5 (in XP), although this could be relevant to other users of laptops with no internal HD DVD players.

Is there an external HD (e.g. USB) DVD that I could connect my laptop? Then to watch HD movies on my laptop?

If such a thing exists would it also directly connect to a HD TV (as my laptop has no HDMI)?

Is there a way I could exchange my internal DVD for a HD one?

Oh boy,

I'll show you why you _shouldnt_ think about buying an external drive to your machine.

1. Yes, there are a LOT of external HD DVD readers, most of them are hollow connected USB
2. you could connect it to your laptop, Yes and no doubt you could play HD DVD movies on your computer, but NOT in HD from your screen only supports a maximum resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, but need to HD movies at least a resolution of 1280 x 720. Any sufficiently fast computer with a screen resolution of 1280 x 720 or higher is able to display HD video, even if the computers are generally not advertised as such.
3. No, you cannot connect directly to an HD TV, I mean why Don t you then buy a HD DVD player?
4. Yes, you could, but you are quite familiar with the computer systems to exchange a player that is integrated into your machine? If you would really spend money for the reader, you should ask then spend the extra money for a technician. ;)

See you soon

    What is the best setting for H264 Blu Ray bit rate, which will play OK on most / all blu ray players. When you use CBR and VBR. What are the benefits of progressive and interlaced with regard to playback on all players.

    You don't need to worry about compatibility with Blu - ray playback.

    I prefer a variable bitrate for its effectiveness.  (Not necessary spending 25 MB on a framework in need of 10 right?)

    Using interlaced or progressive will depend on what you shot.  (Take note that 30 p is an atypical, so do not pull that.  Pull only 720 p/24, 720 p/60, 1080 p/24 or 1080i/30).

  • HP mediasmart dvd - play the blu - ray disc Avengers

    Hello

    I have a hp laptop with win 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    I use the HP Mediasmart DvD version 4.2.2.5122 of the software and I can not play the Avengers Blu - ray disc - all other bd drives works fine (tintin, avatar, etc.). Does anyone know if there will be an update for Mediasmart dvd software support disk Avengers?

    Hello

    If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the latest installer for it on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56904.exe

    Once the download is complete, open windows control panel, open programs and features, make a right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - when this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, open your downloads folder and double-click Setup for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.

    Kind regards

  • How to get the PE9 DVD to play on the new blue ray players?

    I upgraded to PE9 because my PE2 dvd play on my new blue ray LG or Sony players.    Unfortunately, PE9 discs do not play or the other.   How to make the disks that are going to play?   It is a real disappointment, since my goal is to change the years of family videos and make a nice set of DVD pick up and watch it with the family.   I can't believe that people that I send to the family to go including our buy a DVD player (and some of them do not work either)...

    Help?   He is not much of interest to one program editing if you cannot produce a final result for video display!

    p.s. I'm happy to do all the work around that will work... burn a file on the disk and access through the data area of the BR player?    Use another program to take the exit PE9 conversion and make it playable on dvd s... anything that works is fair game.

    Thank you

    David,

    DVDs created with pre will normally play on most players, if DVD or BD. However, no DVD, or BD player is certified to play ANY disc - DVD-video or BD. They are certified only to read discs replicated in trade. Some players are better at handling serious records, than others. This ARTICLE will give you more background and some suggestions to get the best possible disc.

    In a Word, two major considerations are the brand of blank media. What brand do you use?

    Then, and although it is less important than a few years ago, the media type may play a role. What type, - R, or + R, are you using?

    Burning speed can contribute to the quality of combustion, but forwards, we limit ourselves here. Pre will be a speed of blank media, the speed factor of the burner, and then choose the highest speed. Normally, it will be OK, but when things do not work, I recommend a different workflow:

    Burn the project to the file. This will create a VIDEO_TS folder, where you choose for the Destination, which will include the necessary IFO, BUP and VOB, files. At this point, I would like to use DVD software to test the game the VIDEO_TS folder. Then, we use a burning utility, as big, free ImgBurn to do the physical burn on the disc and choose the VIDEO_TS folder (with files). Here, you can adjust the burning speed. I recommend about 1/2 down the list of possible speeds. It takes more than a few minutes, but is often the secret to burning discs with high playability.

    I'd also look on from the mfgr of the multi-lecteur. Web site and then download and install the latest firmware for this model drive.

    Once finished, test the drive in the Multi-lecteur on the computer using the DVD playback software. If it works, then the disk is fine, but could not yet be seen by a set-top player, and this is where the first two steps we just get the best possible drive.

    Good luck

  • Make blu - ray discs with the content of the standard dvd in Encore CS5

    Given that blu - ray 25 gb discs have become affordable, I would like to take advantage of the increased capacity of the content of the standard DVD on them.

    In a Word, I would put about 8 hours of flow 8000 720 X 480 video on a disc blu - ray 25 GB with no transcoding.  If I said that my project is a DVD I can tell it to "do not transcode" my property, but as soon as I change the option on Blu - ray, I have a wide range of Hi Def only options or automatic transcoding.  This is much more than 25 GB of the file size.  I can do this in TMP GENÇ TMPGEnc works, I can specify each track or not to transcode, and what bitrate etc. and then burn a blu - ray disc-compatible with the standard def content-but my menu options are more limited than in the still and the work process is slower.   I'd rather that in again if possible.  Is there a way to do that in Encore CS5?

    Stan Jones wrote:

    The problem for me is the reason why you do not get "do not transcode" for a DVD file apparently valid, just because you make a Bluray disc.  I wonder if you change the image size in the properties of transcoding bluray.  I just show him the "do not transcode" for a non-transcoded avi file and also a previously transcoded m2v.

    all my videos that I coded for this and the last project had a black frame around them. for some reason any capture has not quite completely filled the entire box. not a BIG deal, but in the video effect > motion > scale I changed them all to 103 to 105, and I think that this IS why with my workflow wanted to transcode. so I just jumped the man in the middle and in first, like mpeg to preserve all the stops of chapter and chapter names.

  • Y580 - what is the difference between 'Blu-ray/DVD Combo' and 'Blu-ray/DVD-RW?

    Can writer "Blu-ray/DVD Combo", I want to say burn on nine DVD disc?

    The two discs are identical, they can read and write CDs and DVDs and to read (but not write) Blu - ray. They are written differently because Lenovo doing weird things like that. For example, in configurations of Y480 they are all listed as having "Bluetooth 4.0" except one which is just listed as having "Bluetooth." Sometimes, when they add new configurations to the page, they will write some of the specifications without checking existing configurations to ensure uniformity in the way they write the terminology. Include DVD double or double layer dvd too

    I had the unit today and was having a difficult time figuering how transfer from the front of my HP to the new Blu ray device.  Finally, after realizing that I couldn't remove and transfer the inards, I saw the little clip that contains the dashboard on.  Once I have communicated that the facia jumped easily.  I could transer and it worked perfectly.  So thank you for all your time and effort to help me.

  • Upgrade to a DVD to a Blu - Ray drive in a HP Pavilion DV6910 laptop

    My DV6910 came with a dvd/cd rom drive and I thought that the switch will be simple, but I have a feeling that the sata connector is going to be different. I bought a used one and it is on its way, but I'm starting to see photos of some of the connection point and the connectors while the two sata, are different. The one I bought did not have a picture of the back, but I suspect it's like others I've seen. All this experience?

    Hello

    I don't think that the laptop is powerful enough to manage blu - ray discs. I checked the specs for a dv6910us and there's a D2C AMD 2 GHz cpu and nVidia 7150 M, which is a very bad set config to play BR discs Readers Blu - Ray are supported on Intel based dv6700 recommended full portable series that might suggest that it would be the same on dv6900 series laptops.
