RE: Philips DVDR-70 MP3 problems

cant answer your question - but i can say `philips` know jack about their products - they just seem to guess - which we`re all qualified to do - and here`s mine:

had a philips 635 seem to play mp3 ok

max filname length 8 characters - you can nest .mp3s to 1 folder depth (have you tried putting them in a folder)

folder navigation was a seperate play mode - you had to switch off `autorun` from the main preferences menu

also check the integrity of the .mp3`s on your p.c. - Windows media player will pretty well play anything (even if they`re corrupt files) - suggest you try to play them in a more dicerning application - you might find they`re corrupt & need to re-record

RE: dvd on 4:3 (tosh sd330)

thanx for the reply - but all the zoom features you`ve mention change the ratio

i was looking for a dvd that will simply enlarge the 16:9 picture & crop it, till it fills the 4:3 frame

doesn`t seem such a big deal - had a philips DVD550VR which did this fine, but had other querks - if it` such rare feature maybe i`ll just get it back and put up with the querks

thanx anyhow

RE: Toshiba SD-330E SD330 (multiregion)

Have you put your pics onto standard 650mb cd`s as stated in instruction?

If you are trying to use 700mb extended Cd`s (which your post implies)- & the player is only designed to take standard 650 mg disks then it may not be able to read the table of contents properly

stick to the instructions and you`ll be fine

dvd on 4:3 (tosh sd330)

anyone know a dvd that works on 4:3 tv?

just bought philips dvd625 with zoom - but it doesn`t enlarge the 16:9
window (just the image inside it) - bottomline it cant fill the screen
(unless i put the dvd in 16:9 mode - then it stretches the picture
[vertically] - weird)

even weirder - when the 625 is in any zoom mode - it leaves the mode indicator on screen - of course i`m taking it back tomorrow

anyone know a dvd that will fill 4:3 screen? without distorting the aspect ratio
(just lose the edges) - had a philips dvd550vr that did it perfectly

i know the tosh sd330 also has zoom - but can it fill a 3:4 frame ?
