    [bold]Hey Jason,

    I'm not sure about the Pioneer, but you should be safe with the RCA. If you have any concerns whether or not it will play your burned movies, take one to the store with you (considering the business has one hooked up to a t.v.). I would say the RCA is the safer bet of the two (and the less expensive).

    Good luck[/bold]

    Thank you for replying. Only problem with trying it out in a store is that the site says this model is only available online. And I don't think my local Best Buy keeps any DVD players hooked up.

    But I will check out some RCA's at the store tomarrow.

    I would go with the RCA only because it supports playback of both DVD+R/W and DVD-R/W. The Pioneer doesn't support DVD+R/W probably because Pioneer invented the - format which was actually the first to come out. Other than that both units seem to have the same features. Some units will not play some brands of DVDR's. It's a good idea to contact the manufacturer to find out which brands are compatible.

    That RCA model you mentioned must be new. I haven't found any reviews on it as of yet but the msrp is $100 and I've found it for around $70. So price wise this would be considered a middle of the road unit compared to the $30 ones.

    I bought a Yamaha DVR-S150 Cinema Station and it plays all my backed up movies except TROY, which will play on my playstation 2 and and older DVD player in the house, but not the new one. Cost some $$$ but it replaced the cheapo Audiovox I was using and broke. Sound is good too, nice unit, plays older -r and rw without problems.

    Hi,
    Has anybody had any problems with the SONY DVP-NS575P. I am looking to buy a new DVD player and all the local wal-mart has is the sony and the Philips DVP642 and the RCA DRC232N.

    Thanks,
    Budman28
