DVD Player Reviews and Buying Guide:With so many dvd players on the market and each having a zillion options, buying a dvd player can be confusing. Having once sold for $500, they are now readily available for under $100. The best single-disc dvd player on the market is from Sony (DVP-NS50P). It comes with intuitive menus, easy setup, and superior picture quality. The player has support for 5 channel surround sound and Dolby Digital Sound. This is the best dvd player for people that are looking for a no frills player that handles movies, mp3s, and JPEG photo files burned onto CDs, audio CDs and home burned DVDs. The cost is $70 from Amazon.com. If you are looking for a 5-disc dvd player, then the Panasonic DVD-F87S is the latest and best. It can continue playing one disc while you change the other 4. It offers excellent forward and backward scanning and it can also play MP3 music files and JPEG photos burned onto CD as well as home burned DVD-R and DVD-RW discs. Sells for $99 at Amazon. The best DVD-VCR Combo we found was the Samsung DVD-V5500 with great picture quality and compact build. Sells for roughly $90 at Amazon. The new Panasonic DVD-S77S is an HDMI DVD Player. HDMI is a new interface that allows video and audio signals to travel digitally to your TV. Other types of DVD players must convert the digital DVD data to analog, then back to digital for display on an HDTV. If you have an HDTV with HDMI input, you'll get better picture quality than with an analog composite connection but the reviews don't support that theory. That model sells for a little over $200.
Reviews on the best car dvd players?:In car entertainment is the latest thing with dvd players being the most prominent. DVD Players for cars come in 3 categories - underseat DVD players, in-dash dvd players, and car dvd changers. All car dvd players offer premium sound and picture quality and can give you multichannel surround sound. Car dvd players are small and compact and allow you to mount them underneath a seat or in a cargo area for convenience. The underseat car dvd players cost from $139-$259, the in-dash car dvd players run from $149-$319, and the car dvd changers are more pricey at $349-$1099. I have had a portable dvd player in the car for years that mounts to the back of the passenger seat and is perfect for long drives. If you have kids, then this is a must buy for any driving trip.What is the best portable dvd player?:With the invention of portable dvd players, long airline flights and extended car trips have become much easier to take. You can now watch your favorite movie on board an airplane or have your kids settle in for that 6 hour drive to grandmas with their favorite Disney movie playing right in front of them. I'm not sure how our parents did it on long road trips without in car entertainment like portable dvd players. The best portable dvd players we found are the Sony DVP-FX701 ($246), the Audiovox D1710 ($225), and the Toshiba SD-P2600($299). All have 7" screens or bigger and offer all the functions you would expect from a quality dvd player. Sounds is often a little lacking with some movies since the speakers on the portable player don't have surround sound capability unless plugged directly into a cars stereo system.
DVD Player Software:The big thing for home computer users is copying DVDs and burning their own movies onto DVD. There is plenty of software to choose from, but we found ULEAD to have the best dvd player software for burning your own DVDs. You can visit their website for the latest versions of their software at Ulead.com. There is another great product called DVDShrink which can be downloaded at DVDShrink.org. The program lets you shrink down movies on DVD and copy them to your hard drive and then let you make a copy of the movie.
