Re: [ARSCLIST] Multi format DVD/CD/SACD, etc Player
Hi Mike,
I was wondering if you had received the Philips DVD players, and whether
they indeed play MP3s embedded in a DVD.
Thanks,
Marcos

Tom,
A quick survey of these brands yielded no results if one is looking
for a universal player that will play a DVD full of MP3s; also, I
believe they are not able to show DVDs full of JPEGs. It looks like
the DVD-anythings must be formatted as DVD video (or DiVX). I am sure
there must be a strong reason for this, since it sure would be
convenient. An expensive workaround may be to buy a Mac Mini and hook
it up to the TV. Or, the way of the future will probably be card
readers.
The Toshibas (now unavailable modified from the previous source)
played MP3s and JPEGs from CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. According to the specs,
the Philips I have on order will do so as well. The Toshiba spec said
44.1 ksps only but in fact the unit was fine with 22.05. It made no
claim to play MPGs but did so without complaint.
As I said before, I'll report on the Philips when it (actually, they)
arrive(s).
