Mostlylost Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 You don't do that with a stand alone DVD player. You use the DVD reader in your computer. Save to a file then transfer that file to the flash drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 He is talking about two things, perhaps poorly worded: One, he wants a cheap DVD player. Two, a way to get info transferred from an old floppy disk. Only older towers are going to have one of those. Even I don't have one anymore, because the format is extinct.

Eric Blair Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 That is exactly what I mean Computer Guy. I think they do have some kind of a 3.5 in reader that goes to a USB port. When telmex decides to give me back my wife I'll be able to look that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 So Telmex has your wife? Are you trying to say that you do not know how to look it up but your wife does? I must admit that often your posts confuse me.. I'm still waiting for an answer to how good your pizza was and whether you would recommend that pizza place or not after getting your pizza. Or couldn't you find the place? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Guess I missed it by not reading the confusing post closely. If one has an old tower with a floppy it probably won't have a USB port. Finding one of the old floppy drives will be an antique hunt. Possibly this will work https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-550703864-convertidor-diskette-floppy-a-usb-emulador-disco-35-g-k808-_JM?quantity=1#position=1&type=item&tracking_id=9ab0cad4-4a62-4e5d-8864-2e5d4fd9ca20 As for a DVD player with a working remote New can be found for well under %500 in Soriana or Walmart.

I just threw one out, last week, because with extra time on my hands I went through my piles of collected junk that I knew would never be called for again. It has been almost a decade since I last used the USB portable 3.5 floppy drive. Happens every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
