Portable DVD player as a PHOTO Viewer? Then I saw the portable DVD players and I am curious to know how it would be to use one of the portable DVD players to view photos?

Photo frames have an input for several types of memory card and will read jpg files directly from the card. Some frames have built in memory for a limited number of pictures which you load via USB. A portable DVD usually has no memory card slot but you can of course make a DVD on your PC to show a selection of slides. Video editing programs will allow you to crop your pictues plus pan and zoom but this is a tiresome process.

Yup....it seems there are problems. My player just stopped playing DVD video discs (ie any non-bluray disc). UGH...very frustrating. I must admit that up until now I've been very pleased with the player. All I can figure is that its one of the latest firmware upgrades. Back to the factory...

The portable DVD player you're looking at here is not a computer laptop. All it does is play DVDs and audio and video files from the iPod. If you're looking for DVDs that include interactive games I think the Walt Disney company or some other educational company might sell some DVDs like that. Otherwise it's just a player. Not a computer. What you're looking for is a laptop. And the Eee PC might be what you're looking for. It's $400, small and light.

It plays only DVD format (I think they call it VR mode), not any other video. It plays MP3 music and displays JPEG. That's it.

You should be able to burn the pictures to these DVD-R's and others should be able to copy them and view them as they wish. Of course, you could prevent that if needed, but that isn't what you asked. I've successfully burned many pictures to these for later use and sharing, without problems. Most of my pictures are less than 200 kb in size or less, so one DVD-R holds a LOT of pictures, too. These hold a lot more than a CD-R would.

Russell B. and MKF,Thanks for the answer. The lack of a portability explains the difference in price with the other Philips 7" frames. The ability to pass the frame around to view the pictures is a feature that I need.

There is some limited internal memory (for things like stock photos supplied by the manufacturer); however, I was unable to find any info on how to, or whether it is even possible to, transfer any of one's personal pictures to this internal memory. I just assumed it's not possible after reading the instructions. The viewer accepts SD cards or USB-type memory sticks. You plug them in and view the pictures on the memory devices only while they are plugged in. It does not seem possible to transfer pictures from these memory devices to the internal memory. - John

I'm confused... The specs on this page and in the downloadable user manual both say it has repeat...That's the main thing I need on a portable DVD player and why I was considering this one....However, it doesn't go into detail about the repeat, is it repeat for title, chapter, A-B, or all three?I need the A-B repeatWhat gives?

Donald, Have you had any success fixing this problem? I am having the same problem, I try transferring DVD files to the MP3 and it seems to work, but when I go to play the video on the mp3 it gives me an error. I think it needs to be converted but don't know how. Thanks.

Actually I purchased the DVD for my brother who lives in other country and took the DVD player with him. We put USB drives and Data DVD's with videos in AVI format, and played them without difficult. Probably some videos were in another format but I don't remember, the fact is that all the videos in the media were played. I don't think it would be able to read video formats from camcorders or Digital cameras without conversion to playable formats.

Did you ever find out if it would play PAL format DVDs? I wonder it as well, i have one and i want to buy something on PAL format but i am afraid that once i buy it the player will not play them. Anyone know?

Where did you by the sound drivers and how much?I finally got mine working but before Brian's post. He is correct' as best I can tell, and the problem rests with our computer software. I purchased a " DVD Decoder" download load on line from Roxio (I paid $20.98 but you can get it for a one time only down load for about $15 -if that is what you want). It now plays DVD movies and installs software which is what I wanted. I uninstalled the Hero program from my computer. Happy with the results but I only wish that I had been able to read Brian James post before I purchased the fix.

My GUESS would be to record/transfer to DVD or other device. I have never used mine. Owner's manual says "for future use"? meaning what I have NO idea-take off cover & see if connected to anything-or hook to something that records and see what happens while it's playing.

I am thinking about purchasing the Matsunichi Photoblitz 8" to create a photomemory show for my husband's 50th birthday present. I want to create/include a few short video clips in addition to several still pix. How do you think the product will perform? I will use IMovie and Final Cut for the video pieces. And, I will be scanning and creating jpegs for the still pix. Also - I have a SanDisk Card Reader ... which plugs into a USB port. Is this the correct apparatus I need to load my "show" from the PC to the frame? Any comments will be appreciated.

Hi, It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

How does one convert the mov files into something that can be playable on non PC DVD players? All I can do is burn mov files onto DVD that play on PCs only. I'd like to be able to make DVDs to play on regular DVD players. Please help!
