DVD on a DVD player or DVD on a Computer

Postby Raynovac » Thu Sep 06, 2007 4:45 pm

This is something interesting I thought about.

When playing the video at an event, (such as a AMV contest)would it be better to use a DVD player or a computer with a DVD player?

There are things I looked at such as cutting off using the component of the DVD player vs. the possibility of lag on a computer using VGA/DVI.

Any one have some thoughts and opinions on video output in regards to these 2 methods?

.. Depending on the Convention you go to, most places rarely use Gaming Computers anymore. At our last Convention everybody brought their AMV's on Mini 3" DVD's. Six DVD Players then set-up the AMV's to Start one after another with one person fading the AMV's and Queing the Next. Doing it this way, if the AMV got "Booo'd" at -- we started the next one.
.. it all depends on the Convention you go to. 8-)

It's a hell of a lot more important to just make sure whatever you're doing works, plain and simple.

And that you have at least one backup plan in the off-chance it doesn't.

I had both as well as multiple dvds given to different staff members for safe keeping. I was looking at more of a technical aspect.

And all of my plans and back up plans work, I checked.

This is more of a technical question of quality.
