Best for playing VCDs

[dante22]

Anything good for playing VCDs on I have a the Sony NS300 and I don't really like it (bought it from a pawn shop) I like the Apex much better but it was messing up on me. Anything out there of a decent price that will play vcds thanks!

I've got a Pioneer 355 and it plays VCDs (and DVDs for that matter) very nicely.

circuitcity.com has the Apex AD1200 still onsale for $49 with free shipping. I've had mine since last summer, and it plays everything I've put into it, DVD, DVD-R, SVCD, VCD, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, and MP3. I was able to enter the hack code to make it region-free. If you have a Circuit City store close to you, you can walk in, buy it and try it for 30 days, and if you really hate it return it for a full refund! It's a win-win situation!

It should be noted that (unless they have reveresed their decision) that new Apex machines no longer support VCD due to licensing issues.

Secondly, if you want good S/VCD support (i.e., a machine that supports most the commonly used feature set in the S/VCD PBC properly), you should probably steer away from an Apex.

I have a older Apex 1100W 1meg version that plays everything very well i got it awhile ago for like 53$ and i also picked up a mintek 1600 at best buy for 49.99$ about 3 months ago and it is a pearl...very nice looking, black (couldnt stand that silver box of crap no longer on top of my all black setup), very quite, plays everything i throw at it and its also cheap! i would suggest it.

i have a Jocel MP3000 (or Apex AD600) and it supports everything i do from vcd/xvcd/svcd/xsvcd/cvd/miniDVD/DVD-R/MP3 all tested (bit rate must be <4000bps for miniDVD
i test some DVD players and Nintaus seems to be very good and Philips as some models that read also a lot of formats (xsvcd w/subs)
some cheaps DVD w/a great support for formats have a loosy quality image
so just get some cds w/differents formats and go to the shop and test, if...
