I bought a blu ray disc, and it came with a regular DVD copy. without even thinking, i just grabbed the first disc, and put it into my DVD player, and that disc happened to be the blu-ray version. now the back of the blu-ray disc has waves of color, and i dont know if i ruined it or not, does anyone know?

No, you didn’t ruin it. dvd players are strictly read-only, meaning that they will not rewrite or damage anything on the disc under any circumstances, unless the DVD player catches on fire or spits the DVD across the room, shattering it against the wall (which will almost NEVER happen, mind you!). The "waves of color" are just part of the reflection from the disc. In short, if you put a Blu-ray DVD into a standard DVD player, absolutely NOTHING will happen.

My son has an in car dvd player with two screens. He has never used it, cos he cant be bothered to set it up, I dont know what cable joins the two screens together. I get one screen working, but am unsure of what cable to use. Please help me someone…

in the box there should have been a yellow cable ( video ). plug one end into the OUTPUT of the main unit, plug the other into the INPUT of the other. As both users will have headphones ( sound ) all you need is this cable

hope this helps wg

What is the best DVD release from the Doors and why? Which come up in spots 2 and 3?

I like "Live in Europe 1968". It’s mono and black and white but it reflects the band show "as it was".

I would like to a recommendation on a good blu ray player. Should I get a standalone player and buy a Playstation 3 because of their reliability. Any recommendations is appreciated. It will be connected to a HDTV 1080p hi def TV.
I meant to say — should I get a standalone player OR instead a Playstation 3. Thanks.

As of right now the PS3 is the best choice….WHY?

Well right now the PS3 is one of the most reliable, durable and cheapest blu-ray plaer on the market today. THe PS3 is also the very few blu-ray players that can updates its firmware to the latest profile.

With this $399 price you get a blu-ray player and an ultimate game console which plays high def games, free online gameplay and can even install Yellwo Dog Linux operating system on the PS3 to use as a computer operating system…

So unless some company company comes out with a stand alone blu-ray player less than $200 or $300 the PS3 is your best choice.

I am trying to find a firmware update for my dvd drive, how do I find out what make the drive is? Also where can I update firmware?

Check out device manager, Right click on My Computer and Click on Manage. The drivers should be displayed there, right click on the DVD/CD drive there and you will see update and stuffs, alternatively you can open up your PC and look at the label on it and check out google for update.

Hope it helps

A movie called 9. Just 9. Oh! And district 9.

I was looking to buy a cheap screen for my car and I found this. I cant find any screen shots of the dvd player other than the a dvd being played or phone view. Does anyone have any other screen shots of what it would look like if i just put a cd in.

Your going to get what you pay for with a brand like pyle.

Obviously external is outside the computer but how can I buy an internal DVD Drive and install. Someone please tell me the difference?

The difference I believe you are talking about is that the External Drive is most likely going to use a USB or Firewire connection, which connect via inputs in the back panel or the front panel.

Alternatively, internal drives use either a SATA or IDE connection, which connect to the motherboard more or less directly. Instructions for install can be pretty easily found from your computer maker or the drive maker

by release date, so on Thursday I can find out what’s coming out on Tuesday.
