Enjoy Virtual Surround-sound While Watching DVD Movies
Friday, November 18th, 2011It sounds contradictory that playing 5.1-channel surround-sound over a single speaker unit and enjoying the same experience produced by multi-speaker system. Actually it is not contradictory to think about the whole status. Because we have only two ears to catch all the sound information no matter how many sound sources present at any time.

10 Basic Points to know about DVD Play, Rip/Copy, Burn – (4)
Tuesday, September 28th, 2010Tip 6 DVD media (cheap vs. quality)
DVD media (cheap vs. quality)
Back in 1996 blank CD-Rs were $6 a pop in Japan and you could get cheap CD-Rs for $2 a pop. I purchased a few $2 media and had to end up buying the $6 media. When CD-R media first appeared for the first couple of years you could have terrible burns and other problems related to cheap CD-R media. Nowadays it’s almost a non-factor and almost any brand of CD-R (95% is my guess) works just great.

How to make your DVD-ROM region free
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010How to make your DVD-ROM region free? This is both a technical issue and legal issue. In order to manufacture a DVD drive one has to obtain a license from the DVD CCA (Copy Control Association). The licensing terms state that every drive must support certain mechanisms, among others CSS (Content Scrambling System) and region code. The latter has only become mandatory for DVD-ROM drives starting from the first of January 2000. Since then every DVD-ROM must contain hardware region code which the user can change 5 times, then send back to the manufacturer which can reset that counter 4 times. Before that date most drives did not have any region protection and it was rather easy to circumvent the software DVD player based region code protection by the use of a well know tool: DVD Genie. That region free state was also called as RPC-1. A none codefree DVD-ROM is called RPC-2.
