Region Free DVD Player Buying Guide


Many people get confused when buy a DVD player. Hope this region free DVD player buying guide will help you. To buy a DVD player, there are three elements: region code, video standard, and voltage.
DVD region codes are a digital-rights management technique designed to allow film distributors to control aspects of a release, including content, release date, and price, according to the region. DVD video discs may be encoded with a region code restricting the area of the world in which they can be played. DVD players and DVD discs are divided into 6 regions. Canada & US are in region 1, so DVD players and discs sold in US or Canada are labeled with Region 1. These DVD player will only play disc of region 1 or region ALL (Region ALL discs have all eight flags set, allowing the disc to be played in any locale on any player). Below is the chart.
And there is also a problem of video standard. Most of DVD player can only play PAL DVD on PAL television and play NTSC DVD on NTSC television. Code free DVD players are able to play DVD disc from any region in the world and modified to play PAL DVD disc on an NTSC television or play NTSC DVD disc on PAL television.
Besides region codes and video standard, voltage can be another element that needs to be paid attention to. DVD players from different areas are equipped with different voltages. Canada and US is 110V, while Europe is 220V. Some comes with dual voltages (110-220V).
So, to buy a region free DVD player, you need to consider about problems stated above. Actually, to meet with people overgrowing requirements, many DVD manufacturers produced region free DVD player that plays PAL and NTSC DVDs on any television and also has dual voltage for worldwide use. For example, Pioneer DV-120-K, Pioneer DV-320-K. Before you decide to buy a DVD player, you should make sure whether it meets your needs or not by checking information on its manual and specification chart.
As a matter of fact, you can think about getting a DVD player software. With a region free / code free DVD player software, you can play all DVDs on your computer, and no need to consider about so many problems. DVD X Player is a good choice.  It is the worldwide most authoritative Region Free DVD player software. It is quite easy to use; just install the program in your computer then you can enjoy your loved movies.

What kinds of CDs or DVDs can I burn?


Many people who would like to burn a disc may usually ask: what kinds of disc can I burn? This article will tell you something about the types of CDs and DVDs can be burned.
1. CD.
Normally, you can use either a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc for burning. But it depends on the type of removable storage that your CD burner supports, and your preference. You should keep in your mind that not all CD players can play CD-RW discs. You can use a player to burn the following types of CDs:
1.1 Audio CD. Burn music CDs in standard Red Book audio format. Audio CDs can be played in most computers and in home and car CD players that play CD-R and CD-RW discs. You can burn an audio CD from either Windows Media Audio (WMA), MP3, or WAV file formats.
1.2 Data CD. A data CD, also called a media CD, can store about 700MB of music or video files. Data CDs are also can be used to back up your data files. Note, however, that some CD players and computers may not be able to play data CDs.
2. Data DVD. A single-sided, single-layered data DVD’s capacity is about 4.7GB, that is to say a single-sided, single-layered data DVD can store about 4.7GB of music, video, or data files. The storage capacity of a DVD disc is doubled to 9.4 GB when you use either double-sided, single-layered or single-sided, dual-layered discs. The use of a double sided, dual layered disc quadruples the DVD’s storage capacity to 18.8 GB.
The type of recordable DVD disc you would use depends on your DVD burner. Certain DVD burners can only burn certain types of recordable DVDs. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only burn files to a DVD+R or DVD+RW or to a DVD-R or DVD-RW. However, other DVD burners will let you burn files to all the recordable DVD types. Make sure what types of DVDs your DVD burner can burn; browse the manual that accompanied with your DVD burner.
So long as your DVD burner supports burning files to these types of discs, you can burn a DVD in a player using one of the following types of recordable or re-recordable DVD media: DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and double-layered DVD+R.
