Best Answer

The first DVD players were the Panasonic DVD-A100 and the Toshiba SD-3000. These both came out on the same day in Japan (November 1st 1996), and were priced at the equivalent of around 700 American dollars.

Only 10 different discs were available at the time, mostly music videos.

Is avi the same as mpeg that is will it play on a DVD player?

First, I don't think avi is the same as mpeg. Second, both avi and mpeg file couldn't be player on DVD player. You need to convert and burn them to a DVD disc then you could watch them on DVD player. To burn avi or mpeg file to DVD, you will need a DVD driver, blank DVD disc and a DVD burner software. The operation is not as difficult as it seems.
