So What Did You Get For Xmas?

Recommended Posts

A nice Italian jacket (which cost more than my car apparently :rolleyes: Will probably get used as much as the £600 leather jacket last year which got stuck in the cupboard and forgot about, oops)

CC Jeans (34 waist, think my sis is trying to tell me something!)

... plus many other designer cloths that just don't look right on a bald fatass.

Grandad slippers (best of the lot)

Some rather decent books

Bottle of Champagne (from the boss's vineyard :thumbs: )

Bottle of 28 year old vintage port (from the lass next door :cool: )

Is that the Halfords Professional set ? If so, snap lol, I got the same, will be a god send for next year and working on the cars.

 

I also got a large poster of the Supra and another matching one of my drift car, I'll upload some pics later, the're quite cool, and will go on the wall up the stairs.

 

I also got extension packs for my scalectrix, jumps and stuff, there has been lots of racing already lol

So, if I D/L HD files and then play them though this it wont play as HD? :blink:

 

BTW, it does upscale too.

 

Don't think they work that way CJ. HD-DVD players are for playing HD-DVD's which are not made any more. It will play HD files if it is compatible with them, because it plays the discs doesn't mean it will play 1080p files.

 

You would need to check the file compatibility of the machine to see what it does.

 

Are you sure it is definitely a HD-DVD player? Didn't know you could still buy them.

 

edit This sort of thing would have been ideal for what you do :)

Maybe I am using the wrong terminology :blink:

 

It is this one and plays / outputs 1080i and 1080p. I asked for something that would allow me to connect to my HD TV via a HDMI cable as my old DVD player didn't have this function and I don't have a BluRay burner.

Ahhh, sounds like an upscaling DVD player :D

 

Those plug into TV's via HDMI & upscale regular DVD's to 1080i or 1080p. If it takes files via USB it may also upscale those. Whether or not it will play HD files in high resolution remains to be seen, couldn't say without knowing the spec.

 

The thing we are talking about is actually called a HDDVD player. HDDVD and Bluray were part of a format war a couple of years back, like VHS and Betamax. Bluray is the new VHS which HDDVD has disappeared like Beta ;)

So not quite as useless as the other poster suggested then. My son will be very pleased :)

Not useless at all, even the HDDVD players are very good bits of kit. The trouble is that you wouldn't be using it for its main use IYSWIM. It isn't one of them though so money well spent :D

 

What is better is that it looks REALLY funky!

 

It doesn't play Full HD files though, divx only by the looks of it. I think it will upscale them too though :D

I played some files through it this afternoon (via a USB flash disk - very cool idea) and the quality was superb. :D

 

I am now hoping that I can also play the Trekstor HD through the USB port too as that would make it even betterer :D
