I prefer to watch dramas on my TV, thus necessitating the conversion to DVD-Video...

Also, I'm doing it as a favor to Geez, since he's not the PC techno-dweeb that I am... *accidentally deletes files, then crashes OS*

I only watch some dramas on PC in an emergency - if I'm watching something on TV and I have to check on a burn for instance. Otherwise I coudl never enjoy it anywhere else except in the full living color and size of the TV screen. It's amazing the detail that is lost on a computer monitor.... a detailed night episode on TV is nothing but a black blob on PC. :doh:

By the way, I'm now using Tmpgenc plus for conversion of avi to mpeg2 and it really is faster compared to Quenc. And I got the hack for it from the hack site that you gave me. Thanks again :D :bow:

There's another solution that's affordable. A standalone DVD/Divx player. The Philips 5140 will play almost anything you throw at it (except MPEG-2 on DVD -R). Really cool thing is that it's smart enough to pick up the soft-subs. You can watch Attack No. 1 with .avi and .ssa data files on your television set.

Another guy mentioned that he saw a Divx Home Theatre player at Wal-Mart for around $25.

Before getting the 5140, I too was also using TMPEGenc 2.5 to convert the Divx to MPEG-2 and author to DVD. But you aren't getting better quality. It's nice to have all of Attention Please on 1 DVD. But still it's sometimes neccessary if you want to give them away to play on their regular DVD player (most people don't know Divx standalone players are so cheap or even exist).

There's a region free hack for the 5140 or you buy it from an outfit that has "professionally hacked" it.

There's also a Toshiba for about the same price. That one will convert PAL to NTSC on the fly. But lacks something else (maybe it can't be region hacked).

Yep. That's the one that's the very best. Saw that one while shopping for a player. But isn't it much more expensive? The Philips and Toshiba were both well under $100

Well i got mine for the retail price of 150 bucks...it's not cheap per se...but i wouldn't consider it expensive for what you're getting

You're right. After reading about the functionality from the above link, that is a good deal.

i thought so...it's traditionally cast as a budget DVD player...that's why given its features, i found it worthwhile to purchase.

I've got an older region-free LiteOn DVD player, but it doesn't recognize the softsubs...

Besides, if I loaned the discs to someone, they'd have to have a player that could use the softsubs as well.

My solution of hardsubbing the dramas and creating DVD-video versions is universal for all standalone players. :)

I like your solution. :hehe:

now there's a congressional aide saying he warned members of congress in 1997 about Foley's Gay ass pediphile tendencies....
