Pioneer DV-333 DVD Player
This DVD Player RULES!
I have used many DVD players and have pretty much been disappointed!  This one ended all of that!<br />First of all, DVD players have an annoying tendency to fade in and out IF you connect them to play THROUGH your VCR, this is an attempt to stop people from recording them, there is a quick fix for this at Radio Shack!<br />The BEST thing about this player is, you can actually PLAY VCD's on this player.  They all say they can, but they dont mention to tell you that they will NOT play VCD's or SVCD'd that were created on CD-R's CD-RW's or any other of the media us computer nuts use to burn CD's, well this is just stupid, since VCD's are so simple to create by yourself at home (see vcdhelp.com).<br />After getting completely disgusted over the RCA so called &quot;top of the line&quot; DVD player I had, which was indeed better than most but still VCD non-compliant, I took a chance and purchased this unit which comes so highly recommened.<br />Besides the fact that it is about $200 cheaper than the other &quot;top of the line&quot; models, it is just a WONDERFUL unit!  It played all of my DVD's without a hitch!  Better yet?  It played my VCD's even when I TRIED to make them incompatible!  You could actually just burn the MPEGs to the CD's in complete non-compliance to VCD requirements and this unit played it WITHOUT even a stall.  Popped it in, 3 seconds later, my family home video was playing!  It was remarkable!  One would think you could stick a rock in there and it would play it (not recommended :) )<br />This is a must have for those who digitize videos on their computer, edit them, then burn them to VCD to tape!  This machine is a MUST HAVE!!!! A+++
