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.

On the newer version, that is correct. You can get an external DVD player and plug it into a USB connector and it works perfectly.

You gave no info agout your machine and operating system so I can just answer you in general. I watch DVD and BR using VLC player. There are other player capable of doing that but i've been using VLC for a long time so I stick with it. The device is plugged directly into a USP port on my laptop (Toshiba) with no additional connections. It seems that the current provided by a regular USP port on a computer is enough to operate it. I don't have it that long (about a month) so I don't know if any problems develop with time.Ronny

Eli - great questions. I am wondering the same things about this player. Cracking DivX function would definitely get me to buy this item. Hopefully Leonardo will get back to you before long.

Hi there K.........how did this unit turn out for you? I've had mine for a couple of years so far, and it plays DVD's great. I gave up on learning how to copy a tape to a disk, but that is the one feature I needed to rid myself of boxes of old VCR tapes. (See my posts dated 2/21/10.) James says I need a tuner, however the inst. book does not mention that. Thanks for the help, Jeanette

i would also love an answer to this question! i'm finding it impossible to find a dvd recorder that does not connect to a tv directly through a receiver box..........i'm way past aggravated w/ the whole thing! why can't they make products as good as they used to?

1) You must use an external DVD drive. There are many on the market including some portable USB-powered ones.2) Yes.I hope this helps you in making your decision.

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?

Jack, I just put a photo CD in the DVD player and it worked well...........Jim

How do I even get the video onto a dvd? When I play it in Quicktime, it plays sound but no movie. When I use Windows Media Player, I get video but no sound. What am I doing wrong?

You probably won't like this answer. I could only get the player to work on one or two DVDs. I did lots of googling to try to find a fix. Nothing worked. I ended up just trashing it, since it was so cheap. Lesson learned. Find a used one at Goodwill or pay more for a decent unit. You gets what ya pay for.

If you use a USB to MICRO USB adapter, you can use a flash drive to watch movies. I usually just rip DVD's to micro SD card and watch movies, but I also use a flash drive on occasion. I just find it more convenient for me to not have to worry about misplacing the flash drive. Yes it does have a video player.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player. It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

No - this is a basic DVD player. I was looking for a low-price, fairly quality player just to have on my desktop while I work. Right now, I feel like the Blu-ray versions are higher priced than they are worth and since I've gone through two different portable DVD players (not this model or brand) and I didn't want to waste that amount on something I was unsure of.

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).

Yes and the machine not only works pretty well but can be used as a DVD player. The only thing I can't figure out is how to use a flash drive in the machine. I download onto the drive, plug it in and can't get the words to show up on the screen. They have been no help with my issue. So the machine works well, customer service not too much help though, I would still recommend it.
