DVD Disappointment
My Tevion DVD player has been playing up for a while. It doesn't seem to play DivX or MP3s properly (it tries) and often stutters or freezes. I'd been thinking of buying a replacement, but holding off because the idea of building a PC media centre is more appealing (but I don't have the $$$ yet). Part of the motivation is that I've recently received some burnt DVDs with MP3 and DivX files on them. I could just use my PC to play and watch them (especially after getting the new speakers) but I don't really want to wear out the burner.
Anyway, David gave me a free DSE DVD player. Just plugged it in and tried it - it really plays the commercial DVDs quite well (better than the Tevion) but just won't read anything burnt, and lacks a zoom out feature. Oh, well, time to save up for a media centre.
