Panasonic PV-D4745K Dual-Deck Progressive Scan DVD Player/VCR Combo (Black)
worked with different formatted dvds
Like others my very cheap dvd player had problems with certain dvds.  I started burning dvds on my pc which are playable on the dvd player.  My old one also had trouble with some rental dvds.  Now I can play anything.  The vcr option makes it more efficient.
