best quality dvd players image
twiggyskye
I am looking for a dvd player that can support PAL and foreign regional encoded DVDs. I have been looking into getting a OPPO, but they are rather expensive. Is there a quality dvd player like the one I want that is a little bit cheaper?
Answer
Googling "multi region dvd" turns up hordes of online retailers offering the sort of DVD player you're seeking -- some for as little as $65. Don't know what price you're seeing for the OPPO you like.

What is the difference in video quality from HDMI DVD player versus Progressive Scan Player?
cran
I have an HDTV and looking for a new DVD player. How does the picture quality on a progressive scan DVD player compare with one of the new HDMI DVD players? Will the HDMI produce near-HD quality? Is it worth the extra $100-200 for the player and the special cable?
Thanks!
Answer
Progressive scan refers to the way the image is displayed. The image is non-interlaced providing a sharper image quality and is not directly related to HDMI, HDMI is the video connection.
HDMI is a high definition output provided by some DVD players, especially high end ones. HDMI is an all digital output again that preserves image quality. The competitor to HDMI is DVI which is similar in that, it too outputs an all digital signal.
There are two types of HDMI, type A is backwards compatible with DVI, type B HDMI is designed to support image resolutions higher than 1080p which is where most high definition TVs max out.
Basically what I'm saying is that progressive scan is how the image is displayed and HDMI is the output signal, the two combined together provide the best image quality.
Whether you use DVI or HDMI is of almost no consequence but you will want to pick one or the other (or whichever one is supported on your TV).
Let me try this again, any DVD player equipped with HDMI outputs will support progressive scan and the same goes for a player that has a DVI video connection.
Yes, it is worth the extra cables and player price.
