My DVD player can play AVI files burned on CDroms [edit AND DVDS TOO]. My life has all new meaning.

ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I BREAK THE LAW

welcome to 2006. what kind of player is it?

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

it's a hacked toshiba sd 3990 [plays all regions]. the manual actually claims it doesn't play DVR-avi, just CDR-avi, but it lied.

Nice. I used to have a Philips DVP-642, but I traded up to a modded xbox so I wouldn't have to burn stuff anymore.

[kamakhai.livejournal.com]

Of course not!

..just that you can see why everyone else is.

My new dvd player does that too!
Danny burned Weeds onto two dvds for me and it works great.

[chris.livejournal.com]

yeah i just got one of those. they are hella cheap too.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

mine was $100

[henry.livejournal.com]

oh brutal, the philips is like half that and plays way more. take it back!

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

i looked on amazon and the philips does the same shit except it isn't region-free.

[henry.livejournal.com]

oh I thought you said it only played divx. the philips is region-free with a button combo from the remote.

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

oh that's tricky

but i can hear the disc spinning in the philips player which almost makes me want to throw it out the window.
