Plays DVD-RW/+RW? Let's say that you have 4 or 5 movies at 700 megs each in 1 dvd-RW/+RW, will this player allow you to play all 5 movies?

You have to burn all the movies at the same time. I tried this out..I got all 6 episodes of Star Wars DIVX on a single DVD-R in one shot, Plays great, It gives you a menu when you put in the disc and you can select which episode to watch, then it just keeps playing from there until the end of 6. I got another 2 hour movie (which I can't name cause it isn't out in "wide release" yet) which came as 2 700mb DIVX files, I put these on 1 DVD and it only paused briefly when the switch from CD-1 to CD-2 came up, too cool. Then for fun, I burned another movie onto the same disc in a second session, It didn't recognize it. So put as many DIVX/AVI files as will fit onto a DVD and it gives you a little menu to play them from, if you burn them all in one session. If you add to the DVD later, you'll be wasting your time, you'll still be able to see the movies originally burned however so you won't be adding to your coaster collection. In Technical terms 5140 will only play files on a finalized disc, anything added after finalization of a multisession disc will not be recognized.. HUH? Hope this helps Peace!!

So, is there a "special" DVD player just to play region 7 DVDs? What a bout the multiregion DVD players?

You can, as long as you are using rewritable DVDs - those are the DVD-RW and DVD+RW discs. I use DVD+RW for TV programs and it works great - the other thing I like is that DVD+RW is the only disc format that will play in other units without needing to be finalized. When you load the recorded DVD+RW into another player it will start playing from the beginning and you can just skip ahead to the desired point. When you are ready to reuse the disc, just load it into the recorder and you can either reformat it or delete the titles to free up space (I just delete the titles on mine). Then you're all set to record again on that same disc. Good luck - hope this helps!

It depends completely upon the DVD you are trying to play in a loop! You can set the "loop" function, but roughly half of the DVDs in our (large) collection just go to the end of the first play and stop, ignoring the "loop" or "repeat" setting. That's the reality, despite what some will say below. And it doesn't depend on the DVD manufacturer, either. Believe me, my wife and I have tried for a few years to get DVDs to play in a loop, and it is NOT a reliable feature with some DVDs. We separate the "will loop" and "won't loop" on the shelf next to the TV, if we want to leave something playing on and on. Luckily, a few of our favorite movies loop forever (unless there's a power failure)! It depends completely upon the DVD you are trying to play in a loop!

not exactly. It will only play items in the current folder that is open if you choose to open a folder rather than choose to play by either music or movies. IE: From the main menu you can choose movies, music, photos or folder. If you choose movies, it will play all the movie type filess on your drive one after the other (avi, mpeg, mkv etc.) If you choose music, it will play all the music type files (mp3, wav, wma, etc.) if you choose folder, it will play all the file types shown in that folder, but will not play anything in a sub folder.

Actually I just did this in an art gallery. I put one 8 minute mp4 in the root directory (no subfolder). All the staff had to do was turn on the player and the monitor, and it played looped all day automatically. They never used the remote control. What it doesn't seem to do is play mixed files (video and photos). But it will play through multiple movies then loop back to the first one.There is a "settings" from the remote control. You can choose "autoplay" and "movie" in the menu items. That sets your "default" player.

It works very well for all my movies. I will skip some areas so when i get new DVD's I will insert them. However you can't add more pages, it will overload it. Good luck

I have used both DVD-R and DVD+R as blnaks. I have not tried DVDRW but I ddon't see why that wouldn't work.

To be honest with you, especially when dealing with money, I sent mine back after having it for only a week. I sent it back because it did not play all m dvds or my flash drive. With my dealings with it, it played some of my items, which did not suit well with me. I hope I answered your question and I am not trying to discredit the company, I'm simply being honest in my dealings with the projector and why I do not have it anymore.

Yes, you can connect & see DVDs from different regions if your Player is multi- system. For me, I get DVDs even from over seas & played with no problem except few DVD. My other suggestion is, you can directly insert the DVDS & play. The time you posted this question, I tried to connect with two players. One in A/V & the other with HDMI & both works fine. Hope it helps.

The one I have plays all the region 2 movies I've tried on it. Most were from England but at least one was from Greece and it played them all in addition to my Region 1 American ones so I don't think you'll have any problem.

It plays all the DVD's both DVD+R and DVD+RW that I have. Store bought movies and home made movies.

I only play home dvd's so I can't answer your question. Contact Sony for an answer.

Mine does 5 discs at a time. It looks as though they are using the same reviews for both the 5 disc duplicator and the 7 disc duplicator.

Hi, it does burn DVD RW discs. Either + or - RW discs. Please keep in mind that the format we listed are for copying discs. The original disc still need to be formatted to be play on other DVD rom or players in order for the blank discs to be copied. Also, as mentioned by previous user, only non-copy protected discs can be inserted in the master drive to be use for duplication.

I just put in a DVD of .mpg and .avi files and it played them fine. No menu on the DVD, just files. It brought up a list of the files and you can select which on you wouldl like to play. Good feature.
