What is/was the absolute worst way to watch kino?
Be it physical or streaming.
>>
Streaming through Wii but you don’t have the sensor bar so you have to light a couple candles to make it work everytime you want to use it.

how does it look like?
>>
>>222617799
The fact you had to spend another $50 to access a feature already built into the hardware.
You could not watch DVD's on the xbox without buying this remote because they designed it this way as is Talmudic practise.
>>
>>222617837
Lol I forgot about this. Never actually saw one of these in person.
>>
>>222617625
I still have my ps2 remote.
>>
>>222617849
You didnt need the remote. You could just use the controller
>>
>>222617960
wrong. Not without mods.
>>
>>222617912
10 fps

>>222617982
Maybe I misremember. I actually did have the remote for the OG xbox when I was a kid but I recall just getting it because I thought it was cool and feeling dumb for buying it but that was a long time ago so IDK
>>
>>222617865
>two movies on one GBA cartridge
holy fuck that has to look like compressed anus

>>222617865
What format is this?
>>
>>222618062
I bet the audio is even worse
>>
>>222618058
feel free to Google the answer, lil zoom zoom

>>222617912

The 2-in-1 cartridge is 112p 8fps

3 hours of footage on a 64MB cartridge

Downloading an episode on your phone from an ad infested pirate site, then transferring it to a thumbdrive and plugging it into your Xbox 360, which has to connect to the internet and update the video player every time you want to watch something because it doesn't play mp4 by default.
>>
>>222617625
with XBMC (what you zoom zooms call Kodi now) the xbox was the absolute best way to watch kino at the time, if it had the processing power to stream HD i would have never replaced it. Easily the best consumer electronics device i ever bought.

How? Everyone got Spider-Man for free in USA

hey don't hate on this
the first dvd i ever owned was animatrix, and i watched it on the xbox like a real hacker
>>
>>222617912
You can have "how does it look" or "what does it look like". Not both.

ESL, virgin.

>first dvd in 2003
Breh, are you eastern yuropoor?
>>
>>222618062
You didn't care about the quality as a kid. Getting to watch cartoons on your gameboy was fucking awesome.

>>222618342
What was confusing about that post, eslnigger?
>>
>>222617625

I had the Xbox DVD remote. It worked fine.

Worst way to watch kino is censored on TV on a standard definition TV 30 years ago with commercials you can't skip.
>>
>>222618384
why would you think i'm eastern european
>>
>>222618399
Because your first dvd was a movie released in 2003
>>
>>222618479

You’re too stupid to understand my original reply. English isn’t your first language. What shithole are you from?

you original reply makes no sense

It makes perfect sense to native English speakers, ranjeesh

>>222617625
I used to use this thing to watch Shrek 2 and Napoleon Dynamite on my Xbox
>>
>>222617775
I also had this remote
I bought one of those 50 blank DVD packs and filled them with loads of South Park and Doctor Who episodes, Spiderman movies and other shit
Then I just smoked weed and watched burnt DVDs on my xbox all day
It was unironically a better time
>>
>>222617625
Those little screens you could hang off the back of seats in the car were the worst imo. I would get motion sick. Plus there was too much noise, peripheral movement and random light on the screen.
>>
>>222618058
The 360 you could watch them with the controller, but the OG there was a licensing issue where by plugging in the remote device they saw it as you paid for the license and could now watch DVD's. It could play music CD's though with the controller, so either you are thinking of that or the 360.
>>
I guess it was, or at least seemed, good enough at the time but VHS really was fucking awful.

Non-RGB-connected DVD playback is just waste.

>>222617670
you can just hold a bic lighter in front of it and skip the whole candle thing

I watched Jumper on an ipod nano in 2008, I think it was the short square ipod nano that came out after the long rectangle ipod nano

Just tried it on my og Xbox. Yes, you do need the remote if you're not using mods, XBMC, anything non-vanilla, the controller does jack shit while playing a DVD.

Best to worst:

Movie projector

Old LCD

Platforms:
4k UHD player

Your portable DVD player with the dog shit 4" screen

what an absolute waste of quints.

Be kind, buy a VHS rewind machine and rewind the fucking tape before returning

Game Boy Advance special cartridge.
>>
>>222622249
Its not that low because it's bad, it's that low because a 4k projector is much absolute peak compared to a CRT, and CRT will only do well with VHS and DVD, meanwhile a 4k player like the Panasonics have a special chip built for upscaling DVDs into godlike status if the DVD is high bitrate. CRT is only good if you're watching 480p/576p OR if you're lucky enough to own a 1080i CRT which you probably don't.

American here, my family got its first DVD player in 2003. Some of our first movies in the format were LotR Two Towers and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
Maybe could have gotten one earlier but I was 10/11 years old then and my parents were not very trendy or tech savvy

modern day cable/over-the-air TV

so. many. ADS.
and some of these channels will speed up movies/shows a tiny bit to cram in even more ADS
>>
>>222617865
I've seen some of these on GBA. Fucking awful. Even at the time it fucking sucked.
>>
This seems to be the worst way ever
>80 x 80 resolution non-backlit grayscale display
>discs with just 30 minutes of video each
But in 2003 I guess there were so few options for portable video that it managed to be a modest success anyway, so it got a bunch more models and revisions for a few years after
>>
I just barely found out my regular Samsung TV remote can also control my PS5. I had no idea. I've been holding the chunky game controller when I didn't have to for years.
>>
>>222617625
streaming pirated shows in .rm format with a glorious resolution of 160x120 over dial-up internet
