New DVD player is the cats meow
Posted on Sun 23 April 2006 in Misc
On the advice of a friend I picked up a new DVD player this weekend. Up till this point I have been using my PS/2. I recently downloaded some videos from the internet and and a heck of a time transcoding them to DVD. I tried twice on my PC and finally succeeded on my MAC.
My friend at work explained that new DVD players could play PC/MAC videos burned on a disc.I got the Toshiba SD-3990 from the evil empire (no not Microsoft - Best Buy).
Sure enough it played everything I threw at it:
- MPEG
- DIVX
- WMA
(I haven't tested Quicktime yet)
UPDATE: No Quicktime.
The best part - it only costs $59!
I also picked up Top Gun to add to my 80's action movie collection.
