-- TOP 5 DVD (who can play SVCD,VCD,XSVCD,MP3,CD-R,DVD-R) with no lagging (http://www.vcdhq.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=13640)

The Norcent DP300.....is well worth the money. I have a Sony DVD player that plays everything but SVCD's. With the header trick on the SVCD's the sony plays them fine (Model 615, 5 tray). But some of the last SVCD's that have been released have not been able to play on my sony even with the header trick. I bought a Norcent from Amazon.com for 49.99 with a 10 buck mail in rebate. Couldnt beat it. Plays like a charm. I still like my sony for the over all quality picture that it shows, but the norcent for 50 bucks is the best money I spent . I use it for svcd's mostly. But I also heard from some people that it play MP3's on DVD format...which you know would be pretty cool. Really good dvd player for 50 bucks.....the only thing it didnt play was movies burned as data....but I didnt think it would. Love it.

Toshiba SE-R0047 (about 70$ US)

This player is pretty good, but has a few bugs.

The audio goes slightly out of sync with the SVCD, so you have to press the 'angel' button on the remote, select second angle, then select first angel again, and it fixes it.


Also, if the SVCD gets choppy and skips, you gotta eject it, clean the bottom, then re-insert it. It's not that big of a hastle though.

The new Pioneer DV-260 is pretty neat. It plays just about everything you throw at it. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a descent DVD player for a good low price. Its on Walmart.com for 88 bucks. Get it while its hot...

DVD; DVD-R; DVD-RW; DVD+R; DVD+RW
CD; CD-R; CD-RW; VCD; SVCD; XVCD
MP3/WMA; Picture JPG/CD

It also has a graphical user interface, zoom, parental lock, progressive scan, and probably more I can't think of right now. I just got the player a few days ago and no problems so far. The quality on VCD's and SVCD's are awesome by the way.

I have four players on hand -

Apex 1100W - $47 at Walmart
Apex 5131 - $60 at Walmart
Apex 2500 - $60 on Amazon.com
JVC XV-N50BK - $115 at Bestbuy

I highly recommend it if you are looking for a descent DVD player for a good low price - I would push anyone to look at the Apex 2500AD player. It plays just about everything you throw at it. Its on Amazon.com for $60. Get it while its hot...

I just got the JVC player a few days ago and no problems so far. The quality on VCD's and SVCD's are awesome by the way.

Pioneer DV-260 (same as DV-363) plays everything and it's $88 at Walmart

norcent dp300 plays everything, even vcds/svcds burned as data, unlike vinnyv says, I think certain firmwares need svcd mpegs to be renamed .m2v, but it plays any mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 clip burned as data. this thing also plays mpeg1/2 video multiplexed with mp3 audio burned as data or a non-compliant vcd

For vcd/svcd i use a sharp dv-740 (reboxed sampo player). Plays most discs I throw at it, needs multiregioning out of the box but come on, u burn a txt file on a cdr and stick it in, even my mum could do that. For divx/xvid i use my trusty xbox.

If moneys no object u best off going for the kiss. It looks like a betamax but plays divx using hardware decoding, even xbox cant do that...

diversegenetics - bigpockets.co.uk were selling the kiss dp-450 pretty cheap last time i looked but beware, u have to take the thing in bits to update to latest firmware, not fun when u just bought it.
