<description><![CDATA[I downloaded it. I installed it. It doesn't work. Gives an error messaage for its system. "Some components not installed correctly."
O.K. I tried to uninstall reinstall. Because it took my registration fine last night. Its not uninstallable. It shows nowhere in my system for uninstall. I tried to use the uninstall for the program. That was a lot of help too. It just tried to reinstall and tells me that its no longer able to. Time is up.
 I am disappointed. I wanted to be able to watch my DVD's on here. So my woman could have her T.V. time too.
I'll be watching for something else simular soon. Hint Hint.
Now I must be off. I have to try to figure out how to get it off my computer now.
Thanks anyway

<description><![CDATA[Holy Crap...  PPL just don't get the hint.  The Advanced Specialist needed to defend White Rabbit and start crap with others leaving comments.  I think the comment section is getting outta control.  A whole page by the advanced Specailist responding to others here that have nothing to do woth the software.  I don't think 2-sheds was outta line at all.  He speaks the truth.

I think it's the RUN ON commments that are the problem here.  And the Advanced Specialist is just as guilty as other "Bloviated Blowhards".  If you can't keep the comments to the software, plz post somewhere else. Like the forum.  Geez, more like the advanced babbler.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#56  For all you guys saying peole shouldn’t “complain” or post negative comments. What do you think the comments section is for? I’d rather see all the complaints and none of the obligatory thank yous since it tells me whether something is worth downloading or not. If someone walked up and handed you a pile of dog doodoo would you just smile and say ?thank you for giving me this for free”? And I’m sure the vendors learn something from the feedback as well. So grow up already and stop complaining about critiques. Sheesh.

Comment by Critic — February 15th, 2007 at 2:02 pm 

THERE is a difference between these 'negative commenters' that people are talking about here, and an actual technically critical poster. These are not people who have actually evaluated the software and note technical features, the ones they are noting are people who are just plain WHINERS.

Example: There is no problem with THIS:
#50 This player looks really nice, i like the interface but without CSS support and without video scaling options? Actually, there are no options at all ;) Quick Time Alternative does much better job for me. But Thanks.
Comment by cyberfly — February 15th, 2007 at 11:54 am 

THIS IS GOOD. This person is NOT a whiner. He has tried the program. He puts technical information into his comment. And he suggests a possible alternative that people can try, and to compare. This is a 'negative' comment, but it is fine, and perfect.

Now HERE is the problem:
EXAMPLE:
"#79 This program isn’t good." - Comment by john — February 15th, 2007 at 11:08 pm also known as... you know who it is.

This post is useless. It has no technical information. It does not say WHY it's no good. It then goes on to insult someone. This is not useful and this is the most annoying kind of user polluting the comments section.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE:
".... Take that you pooh pooh players. Now hand him that pile of dog doodoo and let’s hear what he has to say!
Comment by RK — February 15th, 2007 at 3:05 pm "

This user and his comment contributes No technical information, merely personal insults, no software suggestions, links, solutions to possible error messages, etc. This RK is just a whiner complainer user that is the same as yes, you guessed it. 


Now for MY technical information:
This program is ok for a casual player, however one issue is how to 'save' the viewing SIZE of the video. It defaults to a smaller viewing window, then if you change it and expand it larger, but then open another video, it reverts back to its default small playing window and needs to be resized again, this is inconvenient. I poured over the settings but found no way to permanently set the size of the viewing window. This would be a compelling reason for me not to use this program.

Alternatives: For playing, I would say ZOOMPLAYER PROFESSIONAL has many more features than this program. And it retains the viewing size. However, like the name says, it's for expert level users, which I prefer. So novice users might prefer VLC player which is more of a beginner's program. With Zoomplayer professional, which #19 "AJ" also mentioned up there, you can even program the mouse scrollwheel to slo-mo forward &amp; backward through the file, or you can program it to zoom in or zoom out. You can also set Zoomplayer to such detail as to set the actual # of frames, seconds, or minutes to "SKIP" "JOG" or "SHUTTLE" which are features employed by professional post-production studio VTR features. Now Zoom Player may not venture into the ripping area, but as this Elecard program is given here, it does not include the ripping plugin for the program anyway, so the potential is *noted* but does not come into play here since it is not included anyway. The original "OLD" skin for this player *looked* better, but the controls were more awkward, and small (I use an extremely high resolution screen), the newer default blue skin was more functional but less appealing. I'd compare it to the OLDER one being more reminiscent of a piece of professional equipment that might be found in a recording studio for audio engineers, and the newer Default blue skin as being reminiscent of some TV remote found in BESTBUY. I'd almost prefer to have VLC player's interface (or lack thereof). VLC's interface is reminiscent of WINDOWS 95. It's good for novices because VLC will usually play things when people new to computers can't figure out how to load proper codecs and filters and so forth. That's fine, but ZoomPlayer PRO is more professional and advanced, and that is what I happen to prefer. With that, I can even edit the File Associations, I can custom modify the toolbars in Zoomplayer to include the options and icons that I prefer, I can make it do color correction, make it play 1/2speed, or slo-mo which is useful when learning Guitar or Martial Arts fighting moves because you can slow it down and review every nuance of the technique. I can use the mouse to augment or attenuate the volume by using the mouse WHEEL in zoomplayer, and I can teach it to display the RESOLUTION, the timecode, the video FILENAME, and a % progressbar. I can set A/B points for stop-start and repeat, aspect ratios, and more. Zoomplayer Pro unfortunately is not FREE, but one can evaluate it via shareware. There is a Zoomplayer standard version that has less features than the PRO version. 

So in any case, much appreciated for the opportunity to evaluate Elecard dvd player, and thank you to GAOTD for providing it. It does not unseat my preferred player, but it will remain installed for perhaps use at some point.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#31 Well I can see some Bloviated BlowHards are at it again (White Rabbit). What an ego this guy must have. (”AKA”) lol. 
Comment by 2-Sheds — February 15th, 2007 at 9:04 am 

Actually 2-sheds, YOU are one of the main annoyances here and one of the minor users that lowers the quality of the entire GAOTD website. You harangue and riducule others, you hardly ever provide any technical information, you chime in when nobody cares and nobody wants to hear your guff. You don't provide anything helpful. Your posts are inane and useless as far as evaluating anything. Either you jump on some bandwagon or insult someone for no reason. You need to get a job or a gf or some sun, or whatever it is that is making you all cranky and sour. And stop posting again under different nicknames, you know we can see when you do that, right? We see all the various other names you try to use.

As for White Rabbit aka Stephen, he has posted some good technical information and I'd rather read what he has to say than yours. 

As for your little phrase, and the reply to it:
...the phrase ‘Bloviated BlowHard’ because ‘bloviate’ is a verb...
Comment by mitch — February 15th, 2007 at 10:22 pm 

I'd like to point out that unlike mitch who actually knows his vocab, 2-sheds is a little Bill O'Reilly wannabe who copied his bloviated phrase off of FOXNEWS. That's why 2-sh*s doesn't know how to use it properly. And as usual, 2-sheds doesn't know what he's talking about.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'd like to point out that no one questioned the phrase 'Bloviated BlowHard' because 'bloviate' is a verb (more importantly, not an adjective) and words never have capitals in the middle of them. #31 obviously just quickly looked up that in a thesaurus and either missed or didn't understand what 'v' meant.(good one, indeed).  Add that to the fact that those two words combined are repetitive and unnecessary and you've got a classic mix for the uneducated faker of intellect.

More appalling is the great deal of people who let this go unchallenged. And we wonder why we can't choose a good president...

All else beside, this program works for my situation, but I certainly wouldn't have payed for it.]]></description>
