westvan_dude Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I play dvd movies with windvd. Super sharp picture. Don't have a "carputer" just yet. Workin on it. At home I have a separate computer running BeyondTV from www.snapstream.com to record all my fav tv shows. When I watch the shows it has commercial skip feature. Luv that. Anyway... windvd has a very sharp picture on my tv....61" JVC LCD rear projection. Using DVI output on the computer to HDMI input on the tv. Forget blueray and all that other marketing gimmick crap, just get a dvd player with dvi or hdmi output. It'll blow you away. If you are using S-video, composite or even component it's not even touching DVI's digital image quality. I use my 61" as a monitor and can read small text. Try that with s-video or whatever. Blueray is for idiots who want to see Sony stock rise and get a walletectomy. If you don't have an HD tv you're REALLY wasting your money. Powerdvd also works good for video playback. MS media player is a POS, avoid that resource hog that calls mommy every 2 secs to report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibby>Chode Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 nero is fine if its skipping its your media or your source That is what I thought too, but i tried two versions of it, and my friend tried the same 2 versions on his laptop, and it did the samething. PowerDVD seems to be the one of choice here. I'll look into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
