It makes the latter function easier because a person can readily jump back and forth from one scene to another during editing.īecause of the scarcity of DVD-RAM players on the market, Craig said the current format is better for storage than for moviemaking. And DVD-RAM discs can be rewritten 100,000 times, while a DVD-R/DVD-RW disc can be rewritten 1,000 times.ĭVD-RAM can be used for both data storage and video editing. The others are DVD-R/DVD-RW and DVD+RW, which hasn't yet hit the market.īelloni said Hitachi chose DVD-RAM for good reasons: It can record at twice the speed of DVD-R/DVD-RW. However, the english dvd viewers might find it a bit annoying for certain movies also.At CES, Panasonic also announced that this spring it will begin selling the VDR-M10, a DVD-RAM camcorder with similar features to Hitachi's model.ĭVD-RAM is one of three DVD-recordable formats that will be vying for consumer attention. I watch more indian movies than english so it works out great with my cd writer. Anyway, I cleaned my DVD player with a cd cleaner and it appears to be working OK with DVD's now, but I haven't tried the old DVD's to see if they still work. However, there are small pauses that are slight, but still its annoying to have small imperfections where you expect perfect digital technology. The store owner convinced me to get this DVD player because it has no problems with MATRIX DVD. I am not sure if the problem is because I have a built in Amplifier and also a built in DVD player. So that is a huge two thumbs up! However, the problem exists with a few DVD's like I mentioned in the Weakness section. Also, the CD quality sounds better on the DVD that my JVC cd player because my DVD reads 24 bit sound. There are no problems whatsoever with the VCD's I have played and I have played a lot of em. But overall, I still do like this player, and have been fairly happy with it, even more so if these problems can be resolved. I am going to have to have this serviced soon to see if these problems can be fixed. Problem 3: subtitles almost always appear at the beginning of the movie. Problem 2: discs warm up - discs are very warm to the touch after taking them out of the player. Problem 1: dual layer discs almost always seem to pause. I really should have it checked out, but so far I just couldn't part with it for any possible long amount of time.
HITACHI DVD PLAYER UPGRADE
I was hoping the upgrade Hitachi sent out would help, but it didn't. I also have three other problems with the player. When I had the player high on a shelf and low to the ground, I really had to point the remote at the right angle or the player wouldn't pick it up. It is plain-jane, with nothing really to recommend it. The CDR and RW playback was something that I really wanted when I was shopping around, because the player is used both for movies and music.
CDs sound better on this than my last CD player and the Panasonic A120 I borrowed from a friend. Overall, I have been very pleased with this purchase. Seem to be a good player, but don't buy it, even if sold very cheap. Record directly to high resolution DVD format for instant playback on standard home DVD players. Reading many reviews here is telling me that my problems will probably still be there when i'll have it back from the shop. DVD camcorder is Unmatched in performance, design and technology. I'm suppose to have my Hitachi back in 2 or 3 weeks but i'm not holding my breath. So, i'll be looking for a Toshiba player soon. It has happen a couple of times that the player stoped playback and shutoff for no good reason. Subtitle pop up here and there while watching a movie, sometime i need to turn them off with the remote, sometime they go off by themself.
HITACHI DVD PLAYER MOVIE
Most of the movie that use the second layer pause before going on with the playback. Animated menu on DVD seem to put stress on the player and making selection is sometime difficult. It's realy slow to discover the disk in the drive and to start playing it. It's nice to know that DVD do not melt easily. I can burn my own VCD and play them with no problem. Optical output give a nice clean sound to the movies and even the CD that sound much better than with a dedicated CD player.
HITACHI DVD PLAYER TV
Very nice picture quality, on a JVC D Serie 32" TV with Component connection. I hope it will work fine when i get it back. While i'm writing this, the player is being fixed by Hitachi Canada.
But something is realy wrong with the DVD playback.
