Who the heck started this off-topic thread? You or me? I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole discussion. I've learned more in the past few days than I ever knew there was to know about DVD's. I'm probably going to be buying a player soon, too, so this is good info. I was all set to buy one, but then I visited Pioneer's website and it was talking about the next step being Digital Progressive Scan DVD. It sounds pretty impressive. Since I plan on getting a wide-screen TV in the near future, I figure I may as well wait for this technology to come out in a DVD changer. Now Empeg just needs to make a home player that eliminates the need for DVD's and DVD changers, just like they did with CD's and CD changers.
