some years back now I bought a spiffy Pioneer DVD player and it just sucks...

some of m mates have $100 dvd players that seem better.

can anyone recommend me a good, dvd player?


cheers!

Ha ha, was gonna say that my Pioneer is wicked! Got it years ago, multi-region (when that wasn't standard) and it has stood the test of time. Maybe you just lucked out and got a dodgy model?

pioneer make a some good players, just be sure to get one with hdmi out that upscales to 1080i/p so you're somewhat futureproof.

if you're after a recorder aswell, samsung just released a new one for $199, excellent features for the money. hdmi, upscaling, divx and recorder all under $200

And ones with a flash drive usb port are very handy too, saves you having to burn all your movies.
I once had this battery with an alkaline problem. I took it to AA meetings.

Ive got a pioneer with usb, no worries from me.  The only prob is using usb with high quality divx & during high screen detail moments the data lags a bit and it plays jolty.  Could be the fact i play off a mini usb hard drive, not a stick.

:O what model and where can I get it? I have a shitty no name brand just because it was the only one I could find with a usb port. I've had it for 3 months and it's fucked already, comes with a 12 month warranty, so I'm thinking I'll just get a new one and palm it off for $50 and put it towards a decent player.

i hadn't thought about recording, but that sounds pretty damn good.

Any idea what the model number is?

Mate I've got a Teac DV-3120 if you want it. Pretty standard in the way of features but it plays stuff etc. I'd palm it off for 40 since I don't use it much if you want it.
