Download Break In DVD (SVCD) - Page 37

Great DVD idea. Thanks for hosting it.

My only question is, I have it running now on my new plasma after burning the DVD .iso. But the colors definitely do not sit for anywhere near 30 secs. It will often pause for 10-15 secs on a light grey color. But then it will cycle through all the colors sitting on each color for no longer then 1 second.

It eventually gets back to the light grey and stops there again for 15-20 secs and repeats this process.

Just curious if at this point I should continue to use this disc like this or not.
Or if anyone has any ideas how to slow it down.

TV: Panasonic TC-P42X1
DVD Player: Samsung HD-931 set to 720p

Thanks!

I just burned this DVD and I was wondering if I can be sure it will repeat itself.
should I just run it at night for 8 hours? Does it matter if you always start at chapter 1 each session? Thanks

It shouldn't matter, as the DVD is properly authored and a DVD player that "follows the rules" should repeat the disc.

Why not for just one day, when you're around the house, run it for several hours, and check on it every hour or so to see what's going on?

Hi question again, I don't know what color content is on the DVD, seems to be many chapters of 40 mins or so. I need to shut off the set now, is it OK to start at beginning again when I come back? Just want to make sure I didn't miss the climax chapter at 15 hours or something :P

He contradicted himself. He calls the break-in disk/concept "Voodoo" but then goes on to say not to do certain things during the first 100 hours - which means there IS a break-in period. The break-in disk helps you get that first 100 hours out of the way with images that won't harm the TV.

Can you get his name/number? I need some personal info becuase I'm going to make a doll that looks like him and stick pins in it.

n00ber question:

1) running the break-in dvd right now on my PS3 and it's only 44 minutes long? That's right, right?

2) Also, I turned on title repeat on the ps3. Is that what other ps3 owners are doing?

Thanks guys!!

So I had a friend download and burn me a a copy of Evangelo2's Break-in DVD in Post #1of the The Official Panasonic 12G Settings/Issues Thread within the Plasma section for my new Panasonic 50X1. (That is a slightly different DVD than the one posted in this thread)

However, when I played it in my DVD player I noted about 30 chapters that appear to have content that is 45 minutes long each. Each is identical material.

The problem is that when I play the 1st chapter it flashes each color for less than a second and the chapter finishes in about 5 seconds, and I can't get my crappy old DVD player to play all chapters in succession. Instead I just looped the first chapter and every 5 seconds it repeats which I think gets the job done.

My assumption is that my friend screwed up the burning of this DVD or something but, I just wanted to check with you experts out there to ensure that my loop method with the super short color flashes (as if the DVD player was stuck in super duper fast forward mode) was okay and that I am not sacrificing anything because my DVD doesn't allow the colors to stay on the screen for a long time and slowly fade (as I understand the actual DVD is supposed to do).

Also, can this same DVD break-in be used for all Plasmas no matter the brand? I just got a free LG 42PG10 and just want to be sure it is okay to run this DVD with it as well.

Thanks,
Walt

I posed this in the Panasonic 12G issues thread, but didnt really get a response. Could someone please help a new HDTV owner out?

My Panasonic G15 is coming tomorrow, and I've spent the last 3-4 hours reading through different threads preparing for it. I am prepared to use the Evangelo DVD for break in, but I am confused....People in Evangelo's thread are saying to run the DVD with very low contrast/brightness, however in the Panny 12G thread the recommendation is to run 120 hours worth of Vivid picture. Is the D-Nice recommendation supposed to be applied AFTER running Evangelo's Disc at low contrast/brightness levels? Can his recommendation be run at any time during the first 1000 hours or so of use? Or will his tweaks only work best when breaking in with Vivid mode right out of the box?

I guess the question also applies to the various settings that users such as serialmike,orta, and Randy Walters recommend for ultimate use....Do I need to break in my Panny right out of the box with certain settings in order for the 'final' settings to look the best, or can I do a 'break in prep' for the 'final' settings at any time during the life of my plasma?

I have a 3 1/2 yr old NEC 50" PDP that (seemingly) suddenly developed major image retention or possibly burn in. The strange part is that if I put a white screen on the TV I don't see image ghosting in the backgound but a large 4:3 square of what looks like light green color. Watching a TV show gives green ghosting on most faces & shadows.

Will this ISO, that uses color as well as white, help to (hopefully) remove or reduce this image retention or would the included color screens cause more problems?

Am I better off just keeping a solid white screen or a TV antenna "snow" screen up for extended periods to try and "wash" or at least reduce the IR away.

I can't imagine where this suddenly came from. I could understand if I were seeing image ghosts but this is like a solid light green color block almost exactly in 4:3 when I display a solid whate screen. We don't have a PC or a Game Console so I don't know where this came from and we rarely ever watch anything in 4:3.

Can someone help me trouble shoot this break in DVD?

I went and downloaded the Video_TS version and used the newest Nero program to burn it to a DVD-r. I'm using my PS3 to play the DVD, and it gives me the error 'Video cannot be played (80029941)'.

I unzipped the file and burned everything in the Video_TS folder. I also created an Audio_TS folder with nothing in it, because that is the best direction I could find online.

I tested this DVD out on my brother's computer, and it played flawlessly and was recognized as a DVD.

Any suggestions for a PS3 set up?

EDIT:

Never mind. I've found an alternative solution. My PS3 has the ability to loop a slide show which is available for download at earprogramming. There aren't near the amount of colors to cycle through, and the colors aren't on for very long (5 seconds maybe?), but that has been the only differences. If I should be wary of using this method, LET ME KNOW!

Thanks.

Easiest way is to download imgburn (free program) then download the ISO version and burn the ISO direct to the DVD. Imgburn is a very easy program to use.

Hey guys,
Got a couple questions about the burn-in for my TV. First I have a Panasonic TC-P50U1, what are the recommended TV settings while using the Burn-in DVD or SVCD? Also, I am able to hook up my Macbook, via Mini-DVI to HDMI cable, to my TV. Since I can hook up my laptop to my TV would it be ok to just download the Video_TS file, Hook up my laptop to my TV (So my TV is my monitor) and Play the Video_TS file on the VLC player thats already on my computer? Last question, When I tried it this way (with my laptop connected) I had to change the format to ZOOM on my TV to fill the whole screen, is that ok? Or does it negatively affect the burn-in process? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Everyone!

I am new to the forum and did a lot of researching on this site prior to making my final decision on a new TV. My old (if you can call a 2-year old TV "old") TV died on me...56" Samsung DLP. Optical unit died on me and the repair bill was a little over $1,000. So, decided to get a new TV and was so torn between plasmas and LCD's. Didn't really even consider LED's bc of the ridiculous prices, the fact that it is a new technology and also due to the fact that the Samsungs aren't even completely back lit...only have LED's along the edges. In the end, went with the plasma because the realistic and natural picture, older but fine-tuned technology and unbelievably inexpensive price. So...

Just wanted to let you all know that I've had my new 50" Samsung plasma for a week now and have been using the break-in DVD every night for 8-10 hours. In addition, I've being watching an hour to two hours of Blu-Ray or DVD movies stretched to fill the whole screen. I've reduced the contrast to 45 (less than half of the full 100) and all the other settings were at 50 out of the box...so I didn't have to mess with any of the other settings.

All in all, very pleased thus far and have been able to deal with the somewhat bloated picture with having to zoom the picture. Don't even notice half the time until text appears on the screen and runs a bit off the screen.

I'm planning on running the Break-In DVD for another couple of weeks until I reach a minimum of 200 hours of break-in. A big thanks to Evangelo2 for the great DVD, it's working flawlessly! The download (ISO format) and burning the program onto the DVD-R was tremendously easy and the break-in program has worked beautifully thus far.

Thanks Evangelo2!!!

Evangelo2,

First of all, thanks the thread. I have a quick question. If I loop the pics (BreakIn_Images.zip), and they are changing in 3 sec, covering the full display on my Kuro 5090, can I use these pics for breaking-in the TV for 8-10 hours a day?

I ask this, because in the break-in DVD the colors changing very fast, while at my Picture Gallery in my Kuro the shortest time to change slides is 3 sec...

Thanks in advance.

I must be doing something wrong. I DL'ed the file and burned it to CD and DVD. The images just flash really quick and then its over in 2+ minutes. What am I doing wrong? DVD player is Sony DVP-NS75H.

Anybody??????

Well that's definitely not normal, the DVD should run about 43 min., then loop. So all I can suggest is burn it again, or better yet just use the USB drive method since that would be quicker. (Sounds like the DVD might be playing it at hyper-speed ).

THanks guys. I burned it with Nero. Ill DL Imgburn and use the ISO file. Hope that works!!

Thanks the reply. So the delay should be 30 sec between each images...

Anyone else having an issue where the dvd seems to be showing a ton more green than anything else? i get 5 slides of green for every slide of blue, and i've only seen red once. is it the case that reds and blues will be showing up later? or is it supposed to be the same mix of colors at all times?

uh... I better re-burn it then huh? i did a fast forwarding on the ps3, and roughly 60-80% of the time it was showing green. It did show up at 44 minutes long though. I was using the DVD iso with dvd decryptor, i'll use the nrg file this time and see how it goes..

1. has anyone used the burn in images with an sd memory card?

2. much programming i like is broadcast in standard, anything special to do when viewing on a new plasma?

3. also what about those black bars?

(i get dumb looks from sales people)

*after 1106 posts you all just stop?*

I just got my new Panasonic G10 today and have a question about burning in.

Is their any option of putting a file on a SD Card and going about this burn in process that way instead of burning to a disk?

Just wanted to say thank you for the DVD.

Forgot I had Nero on the computer and downloaded your Nero version and currently running it on my new Panasonic G10.

Thank you,
Whiteice

I'm having a problem with the .iso file. When I play it, it comes out in 2.35 format, and the white to gray gradiation shows pretty much no variance at all. There seem to be four whitish slides and then a fifth light gray slide. Additionally, the color slides all seem to have roughly 7-8 slides, but most times the white to gray is only five.
