DVD BRILL!!! VCD on CDR brittle
From what I've seen of this player, it plays DVD's crystal clear with very few problems.  For a real DVD buff then this may be the player for you.  However, for people who also burn their own VCDs there is the drawback that you will have fun trying to play VCD's burnt onto CDR, which IMHO is not good.  The major factor with VCD's is that you can encode your home movies to VCD/SVCD.  This player only plays a few brands of CDR (proabably the ones that appear to it as normal CD's, I don't know enough about the technology to elaborate). Backing up your DVD's to VCD is a bit overkill perhaps but if you want to burn home movies to CDR then you'll probably be out of luck with this one unless you can find a particular brand that it likes.
