Starter Plugs Media

free media player for windows 7?

Hello friends at Yahoo answer groups,
I have a Dell net book running windows 7 starter and am using an external dvd drive, but when i open windows media player it won't play a dvd because it says something about a plug-in that i don't have.
i tried using the windows help page but couldn't get results.. does anyone have an idea, or can you suggest a different "free" media player? Thank you!

Windows Media Player is fine, just install the codec pack from http://download.cnet.com/Media-Player-Codec-Pack/3000-13632_4-10749065.html and it will play all your DVDs.

Great TV at a great price
Got the TV with the BD-C6900 and 3d starter kit as a package deal for a bargain. 

DELIVERY SERVICE: 
The TV was delivered from CEVA with their white glove delivery service. It was 12 days from ordering to delivery, which was a bit long, but I'm shouldn't complain because shipping was free. The CEVA driver helped me carry the TV downstairs to my theater room, unbox it, plugged it in, set the time zone, made sure the HDMI input worked, made sure the remote worked and carried the box back up to the garage for me. 

GENERAL IMPRESSIONS: 
The TV is very thin. If you are using a slim wallmount make sure your connections are in place before mounting on the wall because you won't be able to make them after it's hanging on the wall. 

I can't get used to the amazing picture quality on this TV. Even old DVD's look better than ever. There is definately some video processing at work in the TV to achieve this effect, and I love it. Everything looks crisp, clear, and vibrant. 

INTERNET@TV and YAHOO WIDGETS: 
I thought internet@TV and the yahoo widgets would be a gimmick and never used. I was wrong on both accounts. internet@TV is great for streaming movies from netflix, roku, blockbuster, and amazonVOD services. They all work very well. This is about the only feature of internet@tv I see myself using. I don't need the games, or slideshows or facebook here, but streaming movies is great. 

the yahoo widgets are useful as well because they can be popped up onscreen without having to pause the action on the tv. It's great for checking the forecast, or tv listings. 

For either of these features to become truly useful they need to allow a wireless keyboard and mouse to connect to the tv because entering text with the remote is slow, and painful. 

3D: 
I was skeptical about 3d movies, if it would be a gimmick, or not worth the money, but I have been really impressed with the 3d movie Monster's vs. Aliens and ESPN 3d which I actually liked better than the cartoon. It really works well for 3d movies. I haven't been too impressed with 2d to 3d conversions, but at least you have the option to do it. 

My wife had some issues with the 3d cutting out the first time we watched Monsters vs. Aliens. A firmware update fixed that issue. 

OVERALL: 
Great Picture Quality, Great Price on Amazon, 3D is Cool.

SAMSUNG DOES IT AGAIN
I wanted to buy a 3D HDTV. So the first thing I did was view amazon.com's 101 about 3D TV. That settled the issue for me---Plasma it is. Then I went to the local Best Buy (really WORST BUY) and viewed one. It was superb, excellent, wowed me, never seen anything like it. 

The picture is so real that at times it scares me. I see a well known actor and with this TV it makes you feel like you are right there. You see features on people that you NEVER saw before. It is true that the actors are now paying more attention to their make up--they have to. The 3D is so good it can startle you. The 2d-3D conversion is good, but depends on the movie. If it is not a action picture then the effect differs. I doubt you will want to watch the nightly news with this feature. 

One thing I always wanted to know but no one mentioned was: what happens if you play a blu-ray 3D disk that comes with the paper glasses??? Well what happens, unfortunately, is nothing. You have to use the paper glasses. This, of course, will change as more media is developed for real 3D HDTVs 

One of the best features is that Samsung was extremely smart to be in the forefront with their internet connectivity (WIFI)--- and things are already there, from facebook to netflix. It is made very easy for the consumer. Before this set I did not bother with the internet and TV because it was just to much trouble. 

As you can tell, at this point in time, I think Samsung is way ahead of the HD and 3D curve. I cannot recommend this set enough and amazon.com makes it very easy to get via their home delivery and in home setup (Best Buy with their Geek Squad want $400.00++ to adjust your settings!!!). Amazon.co should pay me for this review. Also, if you want a 3D blu-ray player, buy Samsung. Again, the connectivity is a snap and the internet is easy.

Great TV.

UPDATE - Still love the TV, but am a bit annoyed with amazon. They are running a promotion and you can get a 3d Bru-ray player and 3D Starter kit with 2 glasses and a movie for FREE. I assumed they would just ship them, but I guess you have to put them in your cart like your buying them and than at check-out, the cost for them is removed... So I call amazon a bunch of times to get them, the only way they will do it is if I return the TV I have now and submit a fresh order... I did this, but what a waste of time for me and for amazon... oh well, its still a great deal! 

I have had this TV for about a week now and am amazed at what a great picture it produces. Video games look very nice, blu-rays, wow. This TV is also very slim, about an inch thick! 

3D: I dont have a 3D blu-ray player yet, but have played with the 2D -> 3D up convert and it is pretty nice, it dosn't have the pop of true 3D content, but you can see depth, great feature for existing video games. 

Issues: I don't hear any buzzing at all. I have read that in other reviews, but I don't hear anything. I did notice the video camera "soap opera" effect, that I had never seen on a Plasma before. I downloaded a a firmware update and played with the picture setting and this went away. 

Delivery: I have had both of my samsung big screen TV's delivered through amazon and both went great. They were on time and helped plug it in to make sure it was working and not damaged in transit. 

My other TV a 2 year old 52" samsung LCD is no where close to this. This settles the LCD vs. Plasma debate for me. Better motion, colors and price, Plasma is just better.

Best value 58 inch TV but not perfect
After doing a lot of research on 2010 model year TVs in the larger than 50 inch I settled on this Samsung. Its not perfect but it has a very good picture and all of the bells and whistles you can get on a TV this year. It is 3d ready but it doesn't come with any glasses which are rather pricey. It is a better value than any of the Panasonic plasma TVs and really a value over the LCD/LED TVs near this size. 

It does not buzz as some Samsung plasmas in the past. 

It does have some negatives: 

1) line bleed: For those that don't know what this is you can see it very clearly in one of those green preview slides where the darkness of the letters extends across the whole screen. It is annoying but you don't see it very often. I have seen this in non text screens as well. It is not the first TV that I have seen it in but it is the first "higher end" TV that I have seen it in. 

2) screen uniformity: when looking at a solid screen the color is darker in some places than others. This is really only noticeable in normal viewing when you are watching a beach scene and the screen pans up over the sky. I really don't think this should be a deal breaker for anyone but I wish I had known about this issue before purchasing. 

Also to note: be sure to upgrade the firmware on the TV.

Not nearly as good as the mainstream reviewers say
I bought this TV on the recommendations that Samsung televisions have been getting from reviewers like Consumer Reports, and it looks really good in a retail showroom, but I was disappointed with the PN58C7000 after I installed it in my home theater. 

The display itself is beautiful and the PN58C7000 would be worthy of 5 stars if the secondary parts of the TV were done properly. 

Problems: 

1. Missing surround sound passthrough on the SPDIF optical output or the HDMI-ARC ("audio return channel") output. 

The PN58C7000 downmixes surround sound streams to PCM stereo, which means that you need to put the sound deck before the TV to get 5.1 or 7.1 audio. This bug makes the HDMI-ARC capability pointless because you get the same output from the 3.5mm stereo plug. Samsung mentions this on page 11 of 198 in the TV manual. 

2. Mechanical Buzzing. 

Samsung didn't fix the 2009 buzzing problem in their 2010 models, or I got a dud unit. This ruined my unboxing experience. Yuck. 

3. IR noise. 

I can't use my wireless IR headphones because the PN58C7000 fills the room with infrared noise. Weaker remote controls are drowned out by this TV. Plasma TVs typically emit some IR noise, but this TV seems to be abnormally noisy. 

4. Electrical noise. 

This TV spews electrical noise that you can hear as humming, throbbing, and buzzing through speakers and headphones. I used both of the ferric cores that Samsung bundled with the PN58C7000 according to the installation instructions. My older TV didn't have this problem in the same setup. 

5. Shared RCA plugs for the component and composite inputs. 

You can't use the 5-cable component input and the 3-cable AV input at the same time. 

Pilot Air delivered this TV on behalf of Amazon. I live in Dallas, and they let me get the TV from their DFW depot instead of scheduling a 4 hour delivery window during the day, which was very convenient. Their DFW depot hours are 7am through midnight
