alright i have a toshiba dvd player right now...and the damn thing wont play svcds....so i am askin for a new one for christmas and i was just wondering what everyone would ask for.. Basically im just lookin for a solid player that will play svcds, vcds, and eventually when i get a dvd burner dvdrw's....i appreciate everyone's time and help...

[hence]

PIONEER DV-343 or the new model which has mp3 support PIONEER DV-444. I have the DV343 and it plays everything.. svcd's should be maximum bitrate of 2450 which is pretty damn good.. I love it.

i saw that pioneer dv444 that thing even looks sleek....so if i get an svcd...i can just burn it directly to a cdrw and then pop it in and play it? cause i have been having horrible troubles with trying to get an xvcd to play on my damn toshiba...i've had to encode a whole lot and then the damn thing still wont work....as you can see im a little heated about this...but anybody who has the dv444...how is the mp3 feature and has anybody tried the dvdrw capabilities?

What model TOSH do you have, as I have a sd210e multiregion and rce mod'd and its plays everything I can throw at it. Even plays xvcd's and xsvcd's upto about 2200 bitrate(xvcd) sorta stable (2000's fine) with 228 sound.

How do you enode and burn and what with (might not be the player)

Or does this put the spanner in the works of wangaling a spanking new DVD for Christmas.

i have an SD-2150...the double cd is very nice for burnt moveis as almost all require two cds...i used TMPGenc to encode....and the shit wouldn't work...i got it to half-ass work one time but the second time i watched the disk...the audio quit...so who knows...i'm just sick of havin to go through so many steps...know what i mean?

i even tried to use virtuadub to encode audio seperately...still same results...video...but no audio...
