CyberHome CH-DVD 300B Progressive-Scan DVD Player , Black
Going back to the store!
This player did play DVD-R/+R, -RW, and +RW, but not well. It kept dropping frames (that is, the video would pause and then skip forward), which is generally a symptom of an MPEG decoder that can't keep up with the bitrate of the DVD. But the DVD was authored at 7.5Mbps max (average 5.5Mbps), and the DVD Forum standards specify that a DVD player must handle 9.8Mbps.
