I need to buy a new DVD player and I'm looking for any advice or info that you may think will help me out
I understand that I can now get a Divx certified DVD player and then use my PC to burn video files onto a CD/DVD as data (ie: in the format the exists on my PC - .AVI, MPG, etc.), and then play them with the DVD player directly from disc.
That sounds like it would help me a lot.
The big problem I now have is that even though I have an HDMI graphics card and can play those kinds of data files (.AVI, .MPG, etc.) directcly to my TV, I have to be sitting at my PC to control the playback.
A wireless mouse and keyboard would help but I would really prefer the wider range of controls available on a typical DVD players remote control unit.
At any rate, I would certainly appreciate any advice or info that any of you may care to share.
Thank you.
