    Anyone know of a DVD player that supports a menu for an SVCD disk? I have a Sony NS-315 and a NS-715, but even though both support a menu on VCD disks, neither of these units support a menu while playing an SVCD.

    OK, I guess I have to answer my own question.

    Went to Fry's Electronics yesterday with an SVCD containing menus in hand, and tried a few different players.

    All the Philips/Magnavox supported SVCD menus. But all seemed shoddy.
    Tried a Yamakawa and it worked, just don't know enough about them.

    The Mitsubishi and Sharp units did not play SVCD's at all. The Sony units played SVCD but did not support menus or PBC.

    I ended up buying a Panasonic DVD-S35. The Panny plays them all. Everything I throw at it, it plays. For a hundred bucks, it even has progressive scan. Also plays JPG's, MP3's, even DVD-RAM.

    As you can tell, I am a very happy camper.
