packard bell 450 pro got memory in it thats supports upgrade and codecs but can i download codecs in it. how and what codecs can i download into the dvd.

Sounds like you mean that it supports firmware updates. Go to their site and see if there are any firmware updates. Should also be update instructions. Also generally a CD is required, not DVD.

Sarmin - your question doesn't make any sense. What do you want? To upgrade the firmware? To install codecs? You can find some firmware upgrades at
http://www.rpc1.org
Codecs can be downloaded at http://www.doom9.net

I am amazed that Packard Bell is still in business. I looked at their web site and it seems that while they long ago abandoned the North American marketplace, they still sell their products in Europe and other places. Their PCs weren't very good and used non-standard components (meaning you could not buy off the shelf stuff and make it work in their PCs - everything had a proprietary connector), so they lost marketshare in the US and left our market.

i want to upgrade my dvd with new codecs

You don't put codecs on a DVD.

What codecs do you want? ... OR ... What is it you are trying to do?

PB's only in business in Europe it seems. And they use the brandname on electronics over there. That model number, according to Google, is a standalone DVD/DIVX player.

Firmware upgrades are here:

i want x264 but my dvd-player doesn't support that but i got extra memeory and on PB they say that you can download new codecs into the dvd-player. so it can support that codec to. how do i do to get the dvd-player to support x264 for an example or other codecs

[celtic_druid]

The chipset wouldn't be able to handle AVC, none that are currently out can so it can't handle x264. To handle x264 you would need a chipset that can decode HP AVC.

what can it handle that my dvd don't got. can it handle nero cinema asp?
