I used DVP5990_37_vb6_v1_1 and love the new screen and the long file names but I noticed freeze ups and skips like I used to get with DVD backups on bad media and there was also pixelation on one spot and the audio would go out of sync close to the end of most of the files but clear back up after a few seconds.
Not sure if it was from the update or what. I used two different DVD-RWs that played fine before the update. How do I flash it back to original firmware if I can't get these problems straightened out?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

Hey all,
Any hope that there is a good firmware or code to use to switch off macro etc on the 5990_37. For the moment I still have to use VCR to play standard DVDs thru. I will be changing that someday, but for now I still have to use my Philips 642 as it will allow play thru.
Will the DVP5990_37_vb6_v1_1 acomplish this or should I look else where?
Please help.
Thanks to all. -

lol, Go to the manufactures website. It's really not that hard.

Hi to all. I have DVDP5669/51 and I read dvp5996k_51_fur_eng.pdf and otherwise dvp5990_37_fur_aen.pdf. There is a list of supported players by firmware:
DVP5990/37
DVP5992/37
DVP5990K/55
DVP5990K/75
DVP5996K/51
DVP5996K/94
DVP5996K/96
May be I flash my DVP5996K/51 with firmware modified by vb6rocod???
5996 is a player for CIS (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus) with karaoke and Russian CP1251 menu coding (filenames in browser don't support Russian)
Is any way to integrate great vb6rocod improvements for 5990/37? -

Uploaded DVP5990_37_vb6_v1_2_1_1251.rar. Haven't check Russian subtitles, but filenames on DVD with russian cyrillik are unreadable. Something is wrong?
Thanks in advance -
For DVP5996K/51.
Suport chirilic only for subtitles, not for files (filebrowser).

Should TV-type option (NTSC/PAL) work on HDMI output?
All the best for you -

vb6rocod,
I really like the firmware (much better than stock), but could you update it? I need it to play Blu-ray, have unlimited character filename support, run Grand Theft Auto 4, and decrypt and play DRM protected files.
I'm having some people over, so I'll need it by 7pm (about 4.5 hours from now).
You're welcome.

Any progress on unicode support for FAT?
I may be wrong, but seems like New Age found way to do this for MD81290. I am looking into his modifications, but bacause of lack of experience in hacking Mediatek code, my progress is not that great. -
After reading the entries I decided to flash the firmware to see what all the fuss was about. What a big improvement over factory! Just wanted to say thanks.

Hi vb6,
Just curious, and please forgive me for being a n00b, is it even possible to make this player support DVD+R DL playback via hacked firmware? Thanks. -
I had no problem playing DVD+R DL (Verbatim) with the original firmware, and the hacked is no different (in playing).
-
Thanks for the firmware, it rocks! I used one for codepage 1251.
One thing which came out was that in order to see russian subtitles you have to select "Subtitle Language=Polish" from Preferences Setup screen.
There was no "Russian", but Polish setting worked.
Original default setting is to "English", and it would not show cyrillic subtitles, only garbage chars.
Hope this helps others. -

I have a few DVD players, and have bought quite a few over the year, but I have never seen the manual or box specifically show support for DVD-DL. I believe the DVD spec accounts for DL, so it may be redundant to list it. I burn DL regularly (both + and -) and they all work flawlessly in the 5990/37 (I have 2 of them).
