Anyone got any recommendations for a decent budget HDD DVD player I
can get in the UK?
---
Essential specs:
Multiregion
NTSC/PAL output
Dolby 5.1/DTS
DivX
English subtitles using srt files
---
Be really great if it can do these too:
Xvid
Ethernet connection to PC
USB connection to PC
Japanese subtitles using srt
Record MPEG-4
---
Not bothered about:
HDD size (providing it can easily be swapped out)
Recording capabilities
EPG
---
HDD size is not an issue if it can easily be swapped for a bigger
drive (I have a spare 250GB IDE drive)
Also, not too worried about the recording capabilities of the player
as most of the stuff I like to watch is never found on TV (Old
Japanese movies and other non-hollywood stuff). Also, as I don't
watch much TV, I don't require any EPG features either.
I did see a Kiss VR 558 HDD/Ethernet DVD Player which seems to tick
all my boxes but seems overkill for what I had in mind. Even the DP
558 seems a bit over featured for my needs and seems to be a be flaky,
particularly with recording stuff (not that bothers me much).
My budget is around the 」200-」250 mark. Possibly go up to 」300 if the
features really make it that much more outstanding than any
competition.
