Cool...

thanks!!

PC-GUY · 29-07-2005

Wasn't it ripit who did these?

*justcallmebob* · 29-07-2005

So I guess it's true you can never have too much media?

*ninbang* · 29-07-2005

Wow!! Is it Saturday already? Lol ... good stuff!! Keep it comin'.

Re. Compusa 50 pk @ $9.99 .. there's probably good reason why there's no brand identified ... the last time they had some ridiculous sale priced media, turned out to be Khypermedia (at 2.4x I believe) for RW media. Great price. Crap media. You decide. Haha.

zevia · 29-07-2005

Those Fujis may not be TY.. lot's of MIT Fujis are showing up now.. in both the + and - R...

I am already set for media.. 200 Fuji, 60 Fuji colored discs, 85 unbranded TY and 50 16x Verbatims. Right now I am saving my money for a decent all region player with a NTSC-PAL converter.
Ahhh.. who the hell am I fooling.. if those Fujis are MIJ I am grabbing some next week... damn my lack of willpower!!! MORE MEDIA..I NEED MORE MEDIA!!!!!

Thanks for the warning.

outsidah · 29-07-2005

The FUJI's really depend on the best buy you have... I found some MIJ last time by searching at a different best buy... they MIJ's were scrawlled around the mix of cakeboxes.

And if it is MIT DVD-R media, avoid it like the plague! This stuff if Pure Crap Media! We are talking as bad as PRINCO media!

**Jesterrace** · 29-07-2005

I don't know that Prodisc is quite as bad as Princo (depends on the media ID code) but I agree that if you can get TY for the same price then it is a no brainer.

Not to mention it isn't that great of a deal if it is Prodisc. I just want someone to get off their arse and start doing some sales on D/L Verbatim again (I'm talking $4 a disc deals or less).

I'm curious. What do you plan on getting?

Well.. I had my eye on the Philips DVP 642. I have seen the negative reviews, but there has also been a lot of positive reviews as well and it's only about 50 bucks. I wish I could find something more reliable in the 100.00 range that plays dvd+-Rs, Mp3s, all region or hackable to all region, a good NTSC/PAL converter, coaxial and optical out (the coax input for my reciever died) an profressive scan.
I can pass on Divx playability.

I wont even have access to the ads till around noon give or take. It doesn't hurt to post what media is avalable sooner if someone else has access to it sooner. I'll have scans up tomorow as usual (plus whatever media is at office depot and office max plus the drug stores if anything since some want that). I got some photoshop action's worked out to avoid what happened last week too.

I think that they are usally cmcmag. I have had decent results with the +r cmcmage01 but I think opinions kind of vary a little on it.

Osiris_Strife · 31-07-2005

What media code have the Fujifilm dvd+r MIT?

*ghetocowboy* · 31-07-2005

prodisc

*[buck]* · 31-07-2005

prodisc f01 for dvd-r and ritek r03 for dvd+R

All depends on your writer and your firmware.

*Dalen Quaice* · 31-07-2005

I have the Philips 642 - superb player you can't go wrong. The only negative thing is that it is a tad noisy... it tends to "chirp" while it is playing. Mine came region free and macrovision free, too. However, I think Philips has revised the firmware and the newer version is not.

If you have a HDTV with DVI input:

let me point you to the right direction, this player does everything under the sun and then some. It was rated top 4 beaten by only top of the line Denon costing $3500. You can buy this puppy for only $199 or even less if you search for it!!! The built quality is excellent including gold plated inputs which is unheard of for players costing so little. It's region free and can convert PAL to NTSC and vice versa out the box!!!!

http://www.oppodigital.com/opdv971h.html#

read the review.....like I said before top 4:

http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/cgi-b...h&articles=all

unfortunately it doesn't up convert or output progressive through the component output, only DVI!

Dude.. that's a bit pricey for my financial status.. but I will keep it in mind.. Thanks.
