====================== 
 
Mike, I had need of a DVD source to dub segments from DVD's for opera  
program presentations to an opera appreciation group. I had a good quality  
computer with good DVD burners and I also had a high end Panasonic DVD  
stand-alone recorder/player. The thing was how to get the DVD signal in. I'd  
never thought of it until some mentioned "portable DVD player." 
 
Out of curiosity I went to Costco's and got an 8" Mintek portable DVD  
player. You know that that thing did so well that I later went and got the  
10" Mintek portable DVD player ($199 at Costcos right now) for another  
setup. The two big things for me are I can connect it to the front of pieces  
temporarily only when I need it, and the little unit plays EVERYTHING. Some  
discs play even when sophisticated full-time machines will not play them. 
 
For copy-protected stuff I pass the video signal through a Sima SCC-2  
enhancer, On the computer the Canopus ADVC-100 takes Macrovision out  
automatically. Denzil.
