I haven't had much luck watching MP4 video podcasts this way, though I have both listened to music and viewed photos - and a friend of mine with the same model was very impressed at its ability to show "Internet videos". The DVD298 also has the ability to plug in a USB drive or SD card and look at either images, listen to MP3s, or watch downloaded videos files from online. Once you've done it, you can take DVDs from anywhere in the world and watch them - from BBC spy adventures to obscure Japanese horror movies and Italian thrillers to Indonesian martial arts movies, all unavailable in the US.
These can be hacked to become region-free, and how to do this for these players, including the DVD298, can be found with a simple Google search.
However, some DVD manufacturers (like Coby) make players that are global at the factory, then write the region encoding into software because it costs less than to build region-limiting into the hardware.
It plays NTSC and PAL DVDs right out the gate - but as anyone who's bought a foreign DVD and tried to play it on a US player knows, there's a little thing the movie industry stuck on all DVDs called "region encoding" that is supposed to make that impossible.
But for those who don't have the need for that and just need a player that will make their standard DVDs look hi-def on their HDTVs, fear not - while it's not the best 1080p upconverting DVD player I've seen (that would be the Toshiba SD900, which is stunning!), it's still an extremely good one that's inexpensive and easy to use.įor those who DO want to watch DVDs from around the world, though, the DVD298 shines. Be it the mosquito repellent split air conditioner or superior functioning of commercial and floor standing air conditioners, ceiling cassette, ceiling concealed duct type and HRV cooling solutions.I bought the Coby DVD298 DVD Player less for its 1080p upconversion of standard DVDs to 1080p than for its ability to be easily hacked to an all-region DVD player.
