wanna know what the most crappiest dvd player is? apex brand. all of apex brand dvd players suck. my dad had one and everytime you put a dvd in the player it always freezes on diffrent parts of a movie. I know someone else's apex dvd player that suck. the dvd drive in the player got stuck and there was no way that you could get it un stuck. can you help me with this problem?
There is no such animal as "the best player". What do you mean by best-picture-sound-clean image? Best for a certain price? Best for xvid/divx-well, you get the idea.
I have a Sony SLVD300P player that is very finicky and will not play backups.Is there any "software" or "firmware" that can be "hacked" to make this thing more useful or do I just need to dump it and get something else?I have a 2000 model Sony that will play anything,even DL backups.

Hello, I just wanted to thank Mr. Gear 79 for his most helpful information regarding DVD players. I am going to follow his suggestions and make a list of exactly what I want and want it to do and then go to the links listed. Am still currious if a internal CD/DVD drive exists that can play DL disks? If so,this might narrow down my choices quite a bit. Most appreciated, Mr.bear
Hello, It looks like I should have been on the thread regarding DVD Roms isntead of DVD players. I tried all the links that Mr. Gear 79 has listed and found nothing regrding DVD Drives. Sorry for my mistake. Will look on the DVD Rom thread. Mr. bear
