r/dvd

I remember buying my first DVD the night I bought my PlayStation 2 at EB Games. I was lucky enough to get one on launch week.

The DVD was Mission Impossible II! What was yours?

hey so im a complete noobie at burning dvds, but i have been wanting to for a while.

would someone be able to explain how and what i would need to do? ive only just started making the menu via DVDStyler, but i would love some advice so i dont mess it up and have to burn the disc over and over again :)

What's the difficulty/probability of the general public getting their hands on a Region 7 and Region 8 DVD?

It couldn’t burn audio CDs without skips and some songs not working

But it could burn the whole windows 7 SP1 ISO onto a DVD and it works perfectly😭

DVD supremacy🫡

Also, the CDs work on the windows 7 computet

I purchased a DVD in 4k and I am interested in purchasing more, I don’t have a 4k player yet but, I was going to purchase one (either a Sony 4k or an Xbox.) But, I have been reading that in the long run people have had issues with multiple 4k players, which is making me hesitant to purchase one, even a cheap one. Should I just stick to Blu-ray?

My parents have some home movies on their iPhones and I would like to burn them onto DVDs so they can be kept forever. The movies are between 30 minutes and 1 hour long but in the HEVC format which iPhone likes but no other software does (can't download the codec to play them on their laptop either). Is there any good software where I can upload the videos from the phone that converts into the DVD-video format which I can then burn onto a DVD using DVDstyler or any other recommend app? Have had a google but there's so many different software to do this and none mention being able to handle HEVC.

I just got liarliar dvd from a thrift store, specifically the full-screen version and I cant help but notice the subtitles are out of sync. Im going to assume its cause its a recording

Hi everyone! My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and she is a DVD fiend, she loves collecting them and is currently making her own plex server (there’s more stuff too but it’s over my head tbh). Anyway, I’ve been searching for one of those old motorized DVD towers because she’s been wanting one for forever. I’ve look on FB marketplace, garage sales, estate sales, online auctions, eBay (but I don’t want to spend $500 on the item alone and then shipping and everything.) So I’ve decided to try to recreate one where the CDs move in a vertical loop inside the tower (not just spinning on a base, but actually cycling up and down like a conveyor).

From what I can tell, it uses:

\- a continuous belt/chain loop

\- top + bottom pulleys

\- individual CD holders attached to the loop

\- a very slow gear motor

A few things I’m trying to figure out:

\- How were the CDs actually secured so they didn’t tilt or fall while moving?

\- What kind of belt/drive system did these use (timing belt vs chain vs something else)?

\- How slow should the motor realistically be to keep it smooth?

\- Any known teardown photos, diagrams, or internal views of these towers?

If anyone has owned one and opened it up/ tried repairing one/ attempted a similar build, I wouldlove any insight, photos, or advice before I start prototyping.

I would appreciate any help, I just want to make sure I do it right for her!!

I’ve seen it before on hdtv on pay tv and enjoyed it but it’s rarely aired on tv that much and I’m watching it in honor of Ron kovics upcoming birthday which if he’s still around he will be 80 on the 4th of July which will be our 250th birthday.
