Some Details

On DVDR's I've gone with the Philips DVDR and DVD+R/RW format as it plays in the early DVD players unlike DVD-R or most other writable formats (CD-R...). The Panasonic DVD-A100 for example will play the DVD+R finalized disks, but says no disk to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, VCD, SVCD, Picture Disks and so on. This is also true of the early RCA DVD players and most I've run across. Players from 2002 on should play any of the formats (many don't play VCD these days, like the new Go-Video dual DVD/VCR deck which will do SVCD but not VCD) including MP3.

The Arrival is another high quality DVD. It is single sided, but has two sides. One is letterbox the other 'full screen'. It is copy-protected so VCRs, RF, and Rabbits won't work well if at all to watch it. You really need a good modern TV for DVD to work. If you have one and use S-Video you'll see video that looks as good or better than most laserdisks.

Rock'N'Roll High School is poorly mastered and isn't as good as most laserdisks are. It does have movie trailer & interview with Roger Corman and other add ons.

Beavis and Butt-Head The Final Judgement 1995 50 Minutes
From MTV it's 8 Beavis and Butt-Head Episodes back to back:
1. Program Start

Stargate was likely the first or one of the very first DVD's made. It has about the same quality as the CDROM (Making of Stargate). This means the video was poorly done and is subject to dot crawl, and blockiness in general. The sound is excellent, the video was poorly compressed.

Total Recall is excellent. Much better compression on the video and the disk is better made over all. Stargate is double sided and lower quality, Total Recall is double sided with what looks to be at least laserdisk quality. It has both letterbox and 'full screen' formats (one on each side).

MGM/UA charges too much by far for their films over their web site. Also once you've ordered something your stuck that second, you can't cancel or abort the order after you get a number. Three of their movies from Circuit City here in Nashua NH is $59.85, the same three from the MGMUA web site is $~85. For customer service inquiries or order status inquires, please call toll free (800) 586-2021 but you can only do so during normal working hours for them. They are off sprint net at: sl-pnoakland-1-H0-T3.sprintlink.net where ever that is.
 

The best of the earily DVDs were from LIVE Entertainment.
You can get DVD Players by Toshiba (SD2006), Panasonic (DVD-A100), RCA (RC5200P), Hitachi , Phillips and others for about $70-300 in most US stores. The videos (DVD) go for between $8 and $30, with the most common price being about $22. These players have composite video & S-Video outputs only. It's best to have a 1990s or newer TV to use them (Pluging in via a VCR will show you the copy protection and generally poor video if you try to use RF). A new feature of most of these is MP3 and CDR/CDRW read, this is a feature to look for. It will take pretty much any MP3 disk (or CDROM with MP3's on it) and play them. It is also much more likely to work with DVDROM and other such formats that you can write with your home burners. I've been converting most of my audio to MP3 format at 160kbps (18KHz Bandwidth; CD's are at 176kbps[44K sample rate] but most MP3 players and encoders can't do that rate - they do 160kbps[36K sample rate] or 192kbps[52K sample rate]). Basically about 10 albums of audio fit on a standard 650-700MB CDROM as MP3. Napster stuff was generally encoded at 128kbps and sounds like crap to me. On PCs WinAMP [Needs a Pentium 100 or better and Windows], mpg123 or MPlayer [Needs 486DX2/66MHz or better under Unix/Linux] are the best players for MP3. My Riovolt will also play the CDRW format Adaptec software writes (and a few other CDRW writer software AKA UDF 1.5) [no other players do] and can enter deep subdirectories most DVD players can't.

More on MP3's
Most DVD players that do MP3 make a 'flat-file' system out of the disk, meaning they make it look like all tunes are in the root directory. In some cases this means it reads only a a small number of the MP3's on a disk (as is the case with some of my first MP3 CDROMs). So, the most universal MP3 CDROM has audio in mp3 format, one after another all in the root directory of the CDROM - numbered from 000 to 150 or so if you want to force an order of playback, like:
001 Real Love (03.54).mp3
002 Yes It Is (take 2 01.50).mp3
003 I'm Down (take 1 02.53).mp3
004 You've Got To Hide Your Love Away (take 5 02.44).mp3
005 If You've Got Trouble (02.48).mp3
006 That Means A Lot (02.26).mp3
007 Yesterday (take 1 02.33).mp3
008 Its Only Love (take 2 01.58).mp3
009 I Feel Fine (02.15).mp3
010 Ticket To Ride (02.44).mp3
011 Yesterday (02.42).mp3
012 Help! (02.54).mp3
And so on for about 150 tunes (Beatles Anthology 2 first 12 tracks as example above). Generally they will go to the lowest level directory of a CDROM and build it's file-list from that so you could make subdirectories for each album name as an example, but you should still number the files so second album tracks are numbered higher than first album like '046 A Beginning.mp3' for the first track of Beatles Anthology 3 would add to the above example. One of my players won't play anything from the root directory if you make any subdirectories, but does play all mp3's from the lowest directory or directories just fine [The Riovolt plays all tunes no matter what].

The same is now generally true of mp4's (AAC) on players that handle them like the Nintendo DSi.
