...or perhaps I should say the flexibility or forgiving-ness of DVD players. We have a 5-disk changer made by Panasonic that recently went on the fritz. We'll take it to a local electronics shop for service soon. It pretty much played most DVDs, but it had problems with DVDs created with your garden variety DVD burner. We got a VCR/DVD player combination for Christmas and that thing is very touchy playing DVDs, even pristine brand-new disks. The movie will be going along fine and then, halfway through, the image will pixelize and halt. My son has an X Box that plays just about everything with no problems. The only thing that it wouldn't play was a DVD someone sent me that had a couple of old TV shows on it. Now my PC's DVD/CD-Writer combo DID play that DVD just fine, but it was the only device in the house that did. My question is, do you lot have any feel for which DVD players or player/burners are better at playing most kinds of DVDs? It's great that my PC's DVD player is so capable, but I don't want to watch movies on a 19" screen by myself. Any recommendations for consumer electronics DVD player brands or models? -- Regards, Steve Erbach Scientific Marketing Neenah, WI www.swerbach.com Security Page: www.swerbach.com/security
