I see you can play two different DVDs at the same time, can the players play the same movie if needed? Thanks!

Yes, right now all I do is play the same movie on 2 screens. If one of my kids falls asleep, I just turn his screen off & the other screen continues to play. It was a great buy!!!

They are supposed to, but the DVD players broke on me twice, so I was never able to use this feature. Also, it was not easy dealing with the company. Finally, I just gave up. My advice would be to get some sort of product warranty if you are to purchase this product and keep your receipt!

I've played many moves on it but perhaps they've all been regular DVD. I know I've successfully burned many BluRays (for iTunes sharing to Apple TV, which is the primary reason I bought it) but when I just tried to play a BluRay on the computer (VLC Media Player installed Win8 Bootcamp on Mac Mini hardware) I got an error, so maybe there is an issue playing BluRays. I'll mess around with it and see if I can get it to work and let you know.

I thought that if you burn to a RAM disc after editing you can't finalize? My panasonic machine let me edit out commercials on RAM discs but then I couldn't use the disc in another player. So if you use those discs with this player can you play them in another DVD player?

The answer to both would be yes. I don't think I've ever heard of a Blu-ray player that won't play DVD's as well.

WTH!My HD DVD players will start at the point where you stop it.Of course since they don't make HD DVD any more because Sony cornered the market on High Definition DVD's we're stuck with their problematic Bluray disc players.And why can't they make a bluray that can also play a HD DVD?Anyway thanks for the feedback Knocker!

I have the same player you have and have played those very same blu ray dvd'sI would unplug the player.wait a few min. allow it to reboot........andtry it againif all else fails...I would try a different disc from that collection.and If that doest work you may have gotten a defective set of discs.

if you mean the player I just got, it plays only one at a time, which is what I was looking for...works great!

I know for a fact that certain dvd players playback a certain dvds base on the format recorded. Your literature for your dvd player will usually tell you this. As for some computers being able to play back your DVDs and other computers won't, it may be the same reason as mentioned. I've never had problems playing my DVDs on multiple computers. However when I purchased these "Sony" DVD+R media, I was not able to use them. My HP desk top computer did not recognize them. FYI: It was after 30 days that I received my order, I could not return them, and there for I gave them to Goodwill.

I tried it - when I stopped playing of DVD, switch off and again switch on (no open of disc) then it started to play when I finished before. It is sufficient reply? Roman

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!!

Hmm. Good question. I play DVDs directly in my computer. But if you want to hook up the Toshiba multi-region to your PC and are playing another region DVD in in it, I wonder if the PC will reject that other-region DVD?

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

Does anyone know how to get your dvd to change to long play so that I can get more recording time I can't get mind to change from sp to anything else. Thanks Darlene

EagleI appears to have the correct answer, although I have not actually tried it. I do not think you can set it prior to playing the DVD, I think you may have to hit PLAY first and then change the REPEAT option to DISC while it is playing... have not read the instructions yet....

Did they just forget these features when they made Blue ray players? I doubt it, they just left room for improvement so we would have a reason to buy newer models. The proof in this is to ask yourself how many DVD players you have boughtt over the years, and how many of them were bought because the old one stopped working, versus you just wanted some of the cool upgraded features they offered?

I never thought to try those disks, but I just tried a music CD and it played fine. I don't have any music DVDs to try, but my guess would be it plays them also. It obviously does play movie DVDs.
