RE: Computers at Tesco

I hate pc manufacturers who give 128MB ram or less because thats what I got with my pc 3 years ago and they should double the RAM they give every year so 512MB is sound enough for me.

RE: GTA3- PC or PS2?

Go for the PS2 version as you need a kick ass graphics card or a crap one tweaked up to get a good frame rate.

RE: dvd backups

use www.vcdhelp.com DVD movies have copy protection called css. In order to decrypt the content scambling system you need to rip the dvd to hard drive using smart ripper or dvd decrypter. For this reason it is not possible to do on-the-fly copies. Please be aware that I am in no way condoning you to do this as there is a law that states it is illegal to decrypt the css protection.

RE: H&B 5415s Macrovision Workaround (sort of !!)

blackrat you are correct. Most new discs have macrovision but some olds ones do not. Also VCD`s, SVCDs, DVD silver, DVD-R, do not have macrovision on them.

buying DVD`s from America

I am interested in buying this Terminator 2 DVD :http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004TRD8/qid=1023100316/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-2659847-5520651?tag=myrev09-21 for $19.99 I was wondering how much they would charge me because I understand that they will charge me tax or something if I spend more than a certain amount. I have heard that you can get them to write "gift" on the packaging so that they don`t charge tax. I have never bought anything from American (online) so would appreciate any help that you could provide me.

Thanks in advance.

Which Terminator 2 DVD has the most stuff ?

Which Terminator 2 DVD has the most stuff ? ITs so confusing as theres like Special edition, there`s an unltimate edition of 2 DVD-9`s and an ultimate on 1 DVD-18 in a metal case.

RE: Robocop Prime Directives 4 disc DVD is it worth it?

RE: What to buy for Dolby Digital 5.1

cheers for replying m8.

What to buy for Dolby Digital 5.1

I would like to listen to Dolby Digital 5.1 sound with my DeccaVideo 2110 (Dansai 852 clone) DVD player. I`m not sure what I need to buy. I already know that I needed and amplifier or receiver thingies but then i saw on a site that my DVD doesn`t have a decoder. What is this decoder thing. Shouldn`t you just be able to connect a dvd to an amp with the rights speakers? If not what can I do if I don`t have a decoder?

Thanks in advance.

RE: Pacific DVD-750 (Asda) or Decca 2110 (Powerhouse)?

My m8 bought one last week and he confirms macro can still be disbled. The Decca can be updated to a 3 year onsite warranty for £20. If you use this link http://www.powerhouse.co.uk/mum you will find the Decca to be £98.99 and not £109.

Other advantages,
Decca wil easily play VCD`s, SVCD`s. It will even play my home made VCD`s that I made with Nero. It can play DVD-R. Decca has 2 kareoke ports and can output DTS.

RE: Decca 2110

A few powerhouse stores sell the Decca 5100 DVD player. It is similar to the 2110 in most respects excepts for the fact that the 5100 has an in built dolby digital decoder and no kareoke.

Macrovision can still me disbled.

RE: MiCo no macrovision disable.... What now ??

If everyone really just wants a mico classica 20 but needs macrovision to be disabled then just buy Mac Master from www.playstationmods.com It can be used with any DVD player and it means you don`t have to buy a cheap player just because it has macrovision diabled.

RE: MiCo no macrovision disable.... What now ??

Decca Video DDV 2110 @ £102 (inc delivery) from www.powerhouse.co.uk/mum
It consists of identical internal hardware as the Dansai 852 using the same multi region and macrovision hack.

It plays VCD, SVCD, MP3, DVD-R, etc. It even looks good. I`d advise you to take the 3 year easycare plan (£20 extra) so if anything goes wrong you get a brand new one delivered a.s.a.p.

I`ve got one of these and I`ve yet to try a disc that doesn`t play.

RE: Decisions Decisions

If you like the Dansai but also like the kareoke feature not on it consider the Decca Video DDV 2110 from www.powerhouse.co.uk/mum It is exactly the same as the Dansai 852 but with a different Chassis and includes the Kareoke , It uses the same Multiregion and macro hack as the Dansai and looks better than the Dansai. It plays CD-R, CD-RW, VCD, SVCD, MP3, DVD-R, etc.

RE: Decca Video DDV 2110 - Buy one quick!

I don`t have a picture of the menu screen but looks good and is simple to use. For MP3 discs it will on show the first 10 characters. I`ll try MPEG1 as data and get back to you.
