Portable DVD player as a PHOTO Viewer? Then I saw the portable DVD players and I am curious to know how it would be to use one of the portable DVD players to view photos?

Photo frames have an input for several types of memory card and will read jpg files directly from the card. Some frames have built in memory for a limited number of pictures which you load via USB. A portable DVD usually has no memory card slot but you can of course make a DVD on your PC to show a selection of slides. Video editing programs will allow you to crop your pictues plus pan and zoom but this is a tiresome process.

I also have this DVD player, it does seem to take longer than most to power up OR load a disc. It's not that long however, & the picture quality is worth it. Mine doesn't take 30-45 seconds to load.

Plugs into the USB port. It is very light and therefore very portable. Apparently, you cannot use it to play DVDs which is why I bought it. Still looking into that one.

Wade, have you tried just loading the SD card after you have got video or photos on it to the computer? I do that instead of putting what is on the disc on computer. I get the videos and photos that way. Mine works awesome that way. I hope I explained that right.

It can play a regular dvd.... It definitely can play jpg files off of a USB and it can play photos off of recorded disc as well

No.. It only plays videos from DVD... USB will allow pics to be shown an screen captured.... Nice unit but limited

Hello Paul,I use a SD card viewer to view my images from my camera on site or just manually upload images from SD card onto my laptop at home. I hope this of some help.

Sorry, I have never tried to play a dvd that I recorded myself. It seems like the process should be the same as the motion picture companies use to create dvds so my guess is that the player should read them.

Have you been able to connect to your computer? I used their program but it is not even recognizing the device. I think their usb cable is defective. huh. I have had nothing but trouble with the pictures. the video direct burner is fine though, if you don't need to edit.

Hi, It is very easy to use. Just plug into the USB ports on your laptop and activate/play your DVD (note that this player comes with a double USB port connector, so it is helpful if your computer system has double USB ports side by side, if not, it will be helpful to get a multi-USB port device).

You gave no info agout your machine and operating system so I can just answer you in general. I watch DVD and BR using VLC player. There are other player capable of doing that but i've been using VLC for a long time so I stick with it. The device is plugged directly into a USP port on my laptop (Toshiba) with no additional connections. It seems that the current provided by a regular USP port on a computer is enough to operate it. I don't have it that long (about a month) so I don't know if any problems develop with time.Ronny

Where did you by the sound drivers and how much?I finally got mine working but before Brian's post. He is correct' as best I can tell, and the problem rests with our computer software. I purchased a " DVD Decoder" download load on line from Roxio (I paid $20.98 but you can get it for a one time only down load for about $15 -if that is what you want). It now plays DVD movies and installs software which is what I wanted. I uninstalled the Hero program from my computer. Happy with the results but I only wish that I had been able to read Brian James post before I purchased the fix.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player. It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

If you use a USB to MICRO USB adapter, you can use a flash drive to watch movies. I usually just rip DVD's to micro SD card and watch movies, but I also use a flash drive on occasion. I just find it more convenient for me to not have to worry about misplacing the flash drive. Yes it does have a video player.

I burned a DVD but I cannot play it thru any DVD player (oldest and newest) at home. I can only this DVDplay via computer. Any ideas?

I'm guessing you can install a 3rd party DVD viewer. For ripped dvd's, you can watch with XBMC or some other media player I believe.
