Hi !

   Can anybody help me either find the 'EZ Patch' DVD player software to download
(written by Jason Olsen), or at least give me a way to access the archived Yahoo
discussion forums on this subject ?

   I followed the links that were E-Mailed to me, but the page just keeps asking
me to 'sign in'.  Obviously I have already tried this.

   Many thanks, Richard

hello.
I have bought Voxline DVD933 Divx player
it does plays mpeg1, mpeg2 and mpeg4 video formats
(.avi, .mpg, .mp3, .wma .dat etc)
But it does not play .3gp and windows media video (.wmv)
I updated my divx player with bank30.rom file
What is bank30.rom?
How can I add windows media codec and some codecs to my divx player?
I want to play .wmv and .3gp videos on my Voxline DVD933 Divx player.
What is Ezpatch?
is it a rom hacking program for dvd and divx players?

Subject: Any final conclusion on Philips DVP-642?

So, what's the final word on the Philips DVP-642 DVD player? Does the
current production run (for the US, at least) include MacroVision
copy-defeat and Regional Coding? Does the machine no longer perform
trans-coding (i.e, will it no longer play a PAL DVD and output an NTSC
video stream from it)? And are these changes non-defeatable? Is there
no work-around or patch?

I've been using a GE 1101 with good results, but it doesn't transcode;
and besides, it's bound to wear out or break down eventually. As I
read the thread on the DVP-642, I started to think that I'd found my
replacement for my GE...until I reached the last post in the thread,
and read the suggestion that recent samples of the Philips probably
all have non-defeatable MV. If that's true, then the machine is
useless to me.

I've been hoping that someone would respond to that last post, to
either verify or negate the supposition, or perhaps just to elaborate
on it. Guys?

BTW, once you upgrade DVP642 to the latest firmware (1109) it's no
longer MV free, so it may not be MV free out of the box, and Philips
seems to not allow downgrades on players manufactured on or after
Oct 04.

Regarding VCRs with Macrovision copy protection -

I do have a 5-year old VCR with Macrovision protection. I have seen
commercial DVD movies loaded in an un-patched DVD player connected to
the VCR's input RCA cables where the color fades in and out
constantly, or there's consistent display distortion going in and out.
  After I have patched the DVD player's firmware to be
Macrovision-Free, this VCR connection/display problem goes away.

I did have an older VCR manufactured in 1985 that do not have the
Macrovision protection (but this VCR is now broken).

Just my 2 cents...

Hey Rick,

You are incorrect when you say, “A dvd disk does not have the
macrovision code embedded like a vcr.” All dvd discs that use
Macrovision as their protection scheme have bits of code in them that
trigger the Macrovision circuit in your dvd player to enable for that
particular disc. (VCR’s don’t have any built in Macrovision circuits
like dvd players do.) My comment refers to the ability of the 642 to
copy a DVD onto analog tape but not to make a digital copy. My guess
is that the type of Macrovision circuit used to prevent video taping
is not installed on the 642, but the type of Macrovision or CSS
circuit used to prevent digital copying is installed on the 642.

Here are several comments about this from vcdhelp.com:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm running this player into the VCR and there is no Macrovision!
Thanks Philips, you saved me 20$ not buying an RF modulator!WOOT!LOL!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use the on-eject-7-8-9-OK-0 region-free hack, it is also RCE
free (tried with Hollow Man R2) and analog Macrovision free!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All it took was a few simple keystrokes on the remote, and poof!
region free! No silly firmware upgrades needed for macro-off and
region-free.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pros
- 8x fast-forward and rewind on MPEG-4 movies!
- complete folder support for data discs (CDR or DVD)
- brilliant picture quality on everything
- real multisystem (played PAL DVD great on my NTSC TV)
- easy region code hack
- appears to be Macrovision-free out of the box
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The hardware technical specs are better than the Lite-On, much better
signal to noise ratios and video sampling. I hope they leave
Macrovision disabled because I wanted to use this with a HT
projector. Nobody copies to tapes anymore, copying and decrypting is
done on a copy, plus it degrades the video image.

I recently replaced my Apex AD703 with a Mintek 3610.  My apex would
not read DVDR's.  The Mintek will read MOST DVDR's I've fed into it,
but sometimes near the end of the disc, the movie/disc will skip.
If I play the same disc on my Terapin TT2600 it plays fine :(  ???
Is it possible the Mintek 3610 might require some kind of laser
adjustment to increase its reading power or something????

Any help/advice would be great.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Well, I'm baffled again.  A dvd disk does not have the macrovision code embedded
like a vcr.  The macrovision encoder is built into the dvd machine and is either
on or off.  What do you mean, "macro vision free for vcr's but sadly not for dvd

I love my GE 1101P. It has always been reliable and served me well. I
just bought the Philips 642 recently as a backup. This is an amazing
new DVD player. It not only plays dvd, svcd, vcd, mp3 but also divx
and xvid. No more fiddling about trying to convert an avi to an mpg.
All formats play flawlessly so far. It is officially divx certified.
Got it at Wal-Mart for $70. It is firmware flashable just like the
1101 and 5803. It is macro vision free for vcr's but sadly not for
dvd output. There is a hack to make it region free if you need that
too. So far there is no customized firmware but I'm hoping some of
the computer wizards from this group might get interested in hacking
this deck. I can see this deck as the hacker's choice for their new
favorite.

I'm using Ritek's G04 (Ridata branded) media right now... I've also
got (currently in my possession) Lead Data and Optodisc's.  All are -
R media, tried them all and the Apex 703 doesn't seem to like ANY of
them :(  I don't think the 812S burns at 1x, only 2x, 4x, 6x and
8x... it will not write at 1x, at least I've never seen the option
for 1x write.  I've burned with Nero 6 and I've tried Alcohol 120%,
Prassi PrimoDVD and Stomps Record now Max 4.5. No difference :(

My LiteOn is running firmware US0Q (the latest from Liteon's site).
I don't know how much more I can try.  The same disc that the Apex
703 will not read (stops loading or skips while playing), will play
in one of my $29 single disc dvd players in the bed room! :p  THATS
FRUSTRATING!  but at least I know the disc are ok.

I guess I'll try to keep my eye open for one of those KLH changers.

Even Ritek's quality has been spotty lately.  I have some Ritek +R
G03 right now that has (some) issues on my LiteOn 811S that burns
perfectly fine (and works on the ol' 703!) done in the NEC drive.  Go

I've read the 812 is a totally different animal than the 811,
so...don't fret just yet.  Just get the proper firmware for it ;)

Yeah if there is, nobody has ever stepped forward with it, and I
think the question is, is there a firmware update for the carousel?
Also I burn at 4x (and no faster than 4x regardless of media) on my
NEC with no problems.

I picked up a KLH at Best Buy for about $55 on clearance, it's the
same unit at Target which is branded Kawasaki (if you can believe it)
either way, it's a 5-Disc DVD/CD/MP3/VCD/SVCD player, and it's not
made by KLH or Kawasaki it's made by Arco electronics (I think) and
there is a region (NOT MV just region) hack for it.  Probably the
closest you'll come to the 703, I guess.

I have found that the choice of media is as-important, if not
more-important than the burner
Reitek G03 and G04 dye seems to produce reliably the best results.

Fully hackED, no.
Fully hackABLE?  If the 703 (for I shall not presume again) is an ESS 4xxx
based machine - I would suggest that all of the standard OFFA hacks are
readily portable.

Is there a firmware upgrade for the loader anywhere?
Otherwise, you may have luck with good media and -> BURN AT 1X <-
...A loader is a very different beast from a PC DVD drive ;)

That's not good news.  I just retired my Pioneer A03 (2x) recorder,
for a LiteOn 812S recorder.  I'd like to keep the 703 if possible-
but it looks like a replacement will probably be the most logical
choice.

2 additional questions now though... 1: what is the OFFA project you
refer to?
and 2: What would be a good suitable replacement for the 703?

LOL

You do realize the 703 is a 3-disc changer, not a single disc unit,
right?  Your solution won't work.  In fact, it won't even come close
to working.  Nice try, though :)

To go further with this (to try and help the original poster's
problem) the solution I've found is two-fold.  You need good media
and a good burner.  I just retired a LiteOn 811S in favor of an NEC
2500A.  I had some success with the 811's burns on the 703, however I
have had no problems at all with the burns from my NEC drive.

Other than that, your only other solution is to retire the ol' 703,
lets face it, there's been 0 progress on this player for *years*,
whereas the 600A (and others, for example) have thrived with the OFFA
project.  It's really unfortunate, as far as I know there are no
fully hackable multi-disc DVD players out there.

Either way, good luck.

Replace the loader - the Toshiba 1812 has had some good reviews, but I
cannot comment personally  ...remember you will want rpc1 or "kiss"

   My Apex AD-703 seems to be extremely picky about the DVD-R media it
   accepts... I've tried Lead-data, Ridata (Ritek) and a few others,
   most (99%) do not play :(

   Is there ANY firmware, adjustment or replacement I can make to this
   unit?  or am I better off replacing it with a newer changer?

   Any help would be appreciated.

If you are a programmer you need to look in the mipsx_src group and play
with "6src"

afaik, there have been no 6xxx hacks released ...probably due to the
soldered flash chip.

Hello,
I have Yamada DVX-6000 DVD Player from Umax systems but I and many
people in Central Europe need small update in firmware. Vendor has
support for this player but he dont want make new firmware now.
This player is ESS based. I have photos on
http://abbe2003.wz.cz/obrazky/dvx6000-a.jpg and
http://abbe2003.wz.cz/obrazky/dvx6000-b.jpg .
So is here anybody who can help me with make hack for firmware,
where we need change characters in codepages? Exactly firmware
support ISO-8859-2, but we need Windows-1250 too.
