Goto Vcdhelp.com and look under dvd players, it gives price ranges, compatabilty etc. and 40-60 bucks is really cheep, spend a few extra dollars and get a decent player.

the trick i always use is bring a vcd and svcd to the store and test out the dvd players. That way you know it will play them and the people working there think you are god hehe.
