Finding Karaoke DVD With Better Hits

While the CD G continues to be one of the most popular formats for at home karaoke, the karaoke DVD is a sensible choice too. In addition to having scrolling lyrics moving across the screen, many video karaoke discs feature special bonuses unavailable on any other format.

For example, Abba's karaoke DVD is a video biography that goes from the band's creation to their last performance. The Beatles karaoke edition features bonus interview clips. Additionally, the "Original Footage Music Video Karaoke DVD Pack" (found at www.acekaraoke.com) shows music videos and live performances to provide added value for buyers.

Rather than buy a karaoke system, multi-functional karaoke DVD players range from $30 to $200 and play regular DVD movies too. The best karaoke DVD players will accept CD G (CD Graphic) format, which is the kind that plays songs and scrolls the lyrics on the bottom.

Karaoke DVDs scroll lyrics too, but there are many more CD G karaoke songs available to buy. The VocoPro DVG399K ($110) has 5.1 Dolby Digital output to get the most from your speakers, two microphone inputs, digital key control to alter your voice and accepts CDs, CD-Rs/mp3s, DVDs and CD+Gs to give you maximum versatility.

Did you know you can create your own customized karaoke DVD? Simply go to www.powerkaraoke.com and download the free trial or the full-version karaoke software for $49. You may be able to fit up to 300 songs using this customized method. However, your computer will need to have: Windows XP or Vista, a DVD-burner drive, a 1 GHz processor or better, at least 512 MB RAM, a 32-bit display, and you will need to buy CD-DVDs as well.

You may also need software that can convert your existing mp3s into CD+G tracks or else you'll have to buy special karaoke songs. This method is only recommended for extremely computer savvy individuals who don't mind putting in the time to learn the software. For everyone else, there are pre-made karaoke DVDs and CD+Gs ready to use.
