Best Dvd Player For Playing Scratched Discs
far have just come up with a few anecdotal recommendations for Panasonic, Pioneer and JVC. I was really hoping to find a site that rated players on this issue, but no joy after nearly an hour of searching. (Incidentally, a similar question WAS asked here on Metafilter before - but nearly five years ago. Only a few recommendations and of course VERY out of date). posted by worldshift to apex ad 1100w Technology (8 answers total) 2 users marked this as a favorite The Oppo players are excellent, not sure how mainstream they are by you though.posted by zeoslap at 1:20 PM on April 27, 2009 Looks like these guys have them http://www.audiotweak.co.za/ Review from them http://www.oppodigital.com/press/download/Oppo_981HD_AVSA2008Review.pdfposted by zeoslap at 1:22 PM on April 27, 2009 An editor at Ars Technica claims that the Playstation 3 has a high tolerance for scratched discs. I use a PS3 as my main DVD player (after having used a fairly expensive Philips player for seven years) and I've yet to have a disc skip in it. It's even handled a DVD that skipped in my Mac desktop. I'm not sure whether you consider that affordable, though, and it does have features you say you don't need. But it's probably the case that a player that has features you don't need will also be the best with regard to the features you do need.posted by Prospero at 3:05 PM on April 27, 2009 The best (cheapest) solution might be to rip the DVDs ahead of time with a computer that can do error correction on the rip.

I've had the best luck with players that use a Philips-made swing-arm CD drive. Those disc drives coast through scratches and other defects that bring lesser drives to their knees, and they have no trouble playing CD-Rs (but not CD-RWs). There are many different makes and models of players that use these drives. Unfortunately most of them are well on in years, though the CDM-4 and later drives seem to hold up in long service better than the CDM-2 family of drives did.

Blu-ray Player Recommendation in terms of DVD Error Correction Ability? Thread Tools 07-24-2012, 10:12 PM #1 reventon_703 What http://www.highdefforum.com/blu-ray-ultra-hd-blu-ray-players/136987-blu-ray-player-recommendation-terms-dvd-error-correction-ability.html is HD? Join Date: Jul 2012 Posts: 1 Blu-ray Player Recommendation in terms of DVD Error Correction Ability? Nice to meet you all! This is my first time posting and I am glad to join this forum. So here is http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/cd-error-correction-on-cd-players-vs-sacd-players-vs-dvd-players.61594/ my story, I brought a new DVD last Monday and had it play in my old Pioneer DVD Player which I brought back in 2006. Playing nearly halfway, the DVD starts to skip and it became unbearable to watch. So I dvd player took out the DVD and realized there is a minor scratch on it. I then had it play on my computer and the playback was flawless, though if I pause for too long, the DVD will occassionally crash my computer. Anyhow, I brought the DVD back to the vendor and ask for an exchange, they played disc in their Toshiba DVD Player which they "claim" is turned on for 24/7 and would had been more "exhausted" than my own personal DVD player. best dvd player Anyways, the DVD played flawlessly there and there was not a single skip or stutter. So it occurred to me that perhaps it is time for investing on a new disc player. So why am I posting in this board? Well, since the current market is slowly migrating towards Blu-ray, I thought that it would be a better idea to buy a Blu-ray player instead of a DVD player as it would be more future-proof than the latter. As such, I am hoping to get a Blu-ray player that is more robust in terms of its DVD error correction ability and has a reliable laser. Currently I am looking at the Sony BDP-S590 and Panasonic DMP-BDT220, any suggestion on which player better suits my needs? On the other hand, should I really be getting a Blu-ray player if I want to have good DVD error correction? I did some research online and came across the fact that the actual blue ray in the Blu-ray players are more sensitive to scratches and does not cope well with reading scratched DVDs. The reason for this is because DVD playback on Blu-ray player is considered a "Backward compatible technology" Link: answers.yahoo. com/question/index?qid=20100211005659AA1NOHT (Take note of the other answers) Any ideas and thoughts on this?

open for further replies. C6H12O6 Forum Resident Thread Starter Location: My lab I basically have two questions regarding error correction on playback units. Has error correction improved in the last five years? Do SACD players, DVD players and DVD-A players have superior error correction compared to standard CD players? I ask this because I burned a CD-R with about 75 minutes of audio and there appears to be errors on the last few tracks. I first noticed when I played the disc on a portable Panasonic CD player that dates to about 1998. You can hear the player churning when it plays the last few tracks and eventually it starts to hiccup. I tried ripping the tracks with jitter correction on a PC with a DVD burner using jitter correction but that didn't do any good because the resulting wav files still had errors on them, something like white noise. I thought the disc was useless but I popped it in a Panasonic DVD player and it played fine with no problems. It's two years old and is compatible with DVD-A but I don't think it's anything special. I bought it at Circuit City and it's supposed to be really good by your average consumer standards. C6H12O6, Sep 22, 2005 #1 Grant A Musical Free-Spirit Location: Arizona, United States Simple. Some older players, and portable and car players just cannot easily negotiate non-standard CD lengths over 74 minutes. The original Redbook spec only specifies compliance for 74 minutes, so anything after that is a wild card. However, if these players play commercial CDs over 74 minutes, it could be tha fault of the burner and/or the blank used.

Metoo, Sep 23, 2005 #3 C6H12O6 Forum Resident Thread Starter Location: My lab Yeah, I figured that but my original question was about error correction in playback units. Has the technology substantially improved in the last five years? Do SACD players, DVD-A and DVD players generally have better error correction than CD players when it comes to playing CDs? C6H12O6, Sep 23, 2005 #4 bordin New Member Location: Pittsburgh, PA, USA CD (Redbook Audio) is beased on PCM encoding while SACD is based on DSD encoding. From my understanding, the most error-prone process in CD music production is at the glass-cutting process in which y
