Estupendo DVD.
Actualizado con el firmware 2.36 gracias a las páginas que hay en la red que hablan sobre los clones de este DVD (Daewo,scan2000,divido etc)
He conseguido liberarlo de macrovisión y los nombres largos en los Mp3.

Lo que me gustaría es saber como puedo navegar en los Mp3 mientras los escucho.

I'm very happy about this player.
It plays all my VCD,SVCD,DVD,DVD-R movies.

I'm using firmware 2.36.

To burn DVD-R, I use RecordNow Max 4.5.
With Nero, which I used before, I had some problems. I had to burn DVD with UDF 1.02 mode, but I didn't work everytime.
With RecordNow, no problem. (DVD-RW are recognized after 30s by the player, but it works).

Very great player for a low price.

I have no problem with vcd ,svcd,xvcd,xsvcd,minidvd, but I think the best picture quality will be with DVD.
I get some DVD film on noname DVD-R .PLAYER works right with them.
I bought a Toshiba SD 5002 DVD-R/RW writer ,because it is the cheapest nowaday.
I try it a TDK DVD-RW disc ,because i think TDK is a good brand name.
I wrote this media wiht the following software:
Nero 5.5.10.20 udf 1.02 /1.50 /2.01
Instand CD=DVD 6.5
DVD decrypter
Instantcopy 7
but none of them worked.
Afterthat I tryed a noname ARA dvd-R disc.
It works at first time .
Can anybody use this player with DVD-RW disc???
And WHAT kind of DVD-RW?
Thanks
aIRWIN

Hello,

i have a problem with some DVD's (SVCD overburned).

The player shows for example 48 min. but after 30 min.
the player stopped.
Also with the fast foreward it stopped after 30 min.

The same DVD is running for the hole time on other DVD players.

Grunding make a new update but this problem is still open.

Any solution for this problem???

funktionierende Video-DVD erstellen:
(Punkt 5 und 6 sehr wichtig, damit's funktioniert)


1. Dateien gecaptured/codiert:
-MPEG2 mit Hardware Encoder Hauppauge PVR(PCI) 6Mbit/s
-MPEG2 mit Software Encoder TMPGEnc Plus-2.58.44.152
-MPEG1 mit Hardware Encoder Hauppauge PVR(PCI)
-divx4.12 2000kBit/s & PCM 48kHz 16bit Stereo mit VirtualDub 4.13
(Menü [Video]-> 'Set Custom Format...' benutzen und auf z.B. 704x576 setzen)
Tip: Beim Capturen von Mpeg2-Dateien gleich mit der Bitrate capturen, die die DVD später
auch haben soll. 'Ulead DVD Workshop 1.2' braucht diese Dateien dann nicht reencoden.
Software: www.tmpgenc.net
Freeware: www.virtualdub.org
Hardware: www.hauppauge.de

2.
Mit 'Ulead DVD Workshop 1.2' authored, aber nicht gebrannt sondern in ein Verzeichnis auf
Festplatte geschrieben. (Nicht ein Image, sondern die Ordner VIDEO_TS und AUDIO_TS
mit den entsprechenden IFO und VOB Files).
Maximale Bitrate für Grundig GDV130 liegt zwischen 5000kBit/s(funzt) und
5500kBit/s(funzt nicht-> Disk wird nicht erkannt)!!
=> Probleme bei Import von divX4.12 Dateien lag an corrupten mp3 VBR-Header
(Bei divX4.12 Files war plötzlich im VOB file der Ton weg), aber
sonstige divx und Mpeg1/2 (auch 704x576) klappt gut.
Software: www.ulead.com

3.
In 'Nero Burning Rom 5.5.9.14' DVD+RW Rohling mit 'Wiederbeschreibbares Medium KOMPLETT
löschen' neu formatiert (da vorher schon was drauf war).
Software: www.ahead.de

4.
Mit 'Nero Burning Rom 5.5.9.14' DVD+RW gebrannt (Video-DVD gewählt und die IFO und VOB
Files in den Ordner VIDEO_TS in Nero gezogen, Ordner AUDIO_TS bleibt leer).
Dabei folgende Einstellungen genutzt:
Tab 'ISO': ISO-Level1, ISO9660, Joliet
Menü 'Rekorder' -> 'Rekorderauswahl' -> Button 'Optionen':
'JustLink' aktiviert und 'DVD Hochkompatibilitätsmodus' aktiviert.

5.
Nach dem Brennen den Typ der Disc mit 'DVD Bitsetter 2.1.12' von 'DVD+RW' auf 'DVD-Rom'
gesetzt.
Freeware: http://www.dvdplusrw.org/resources/bitsettings.html

6.
Update der Firmware meines Standalone Players 'Grundig GDV130' auf Version 6.36.
Firmware: http://www.grundig.de/produkte/dvd.html

=> funktioniert gut auf Standalone Player 'Grundig GDV130' mit Firmware 6.36
(entspricht Stand Scan2.36)!

Excellent DVD-Player.
It plays all my DVDs, SVCDs, VCDs.
It accepts 90 min CDR (good for SVCDs).
A very good player for a low price.

Info : don't forget to update the firmware. I have the version 2.36.

This player is based on the famous SCAN2000 Player. So, firmware for the Grundig is the same than the one for the SCAN2000.

You can download updates on this forum :

I use Ulead DVD-PlugIn and DVDit! for authoring my VCDs and SVCDs and it really works without any problems. The quality is OK (output over RGB), the handling is simple. In Media Market (Germany) the price was € 199,-, I would by it again.
