| Buying DVD-player: the problems The choices I have are: - pioneer 106s - asus e616 - liteon 16 speed (I think it's the LTD-163) - aopen 1648 Now each of them has their bad sides, according to reviews, some of which may have been corrected with new firmware releases. As I can't find info on that, I'm asking here. Can any of you say that one of the problems below has already been solved? it will make my choices just a bit easier to make  Pioneer 106s - cannot read subchannel (96 bytes) data - low DAE ripping speed - very slow laserlock/securom ripping ASUS e616 - very slow seek time and sometimes takes ages to spin up - lots of errors on DAE for scratched disks AOPEN - skips errors very slowly (on audio cd's, dunno about DVD) - doesn't read subchannel data at all - doesn't fully read 90/99 minute cd's As I heard of NO problems whatsoever with the liteon, I am thinking of going for that one, but but the problems with asus could easily be corrected by a firmware-update, I think, and I heard it's even faster than the liteon (except DAE). The pioneer and aopen almost disqualify themselves because of the subchannel data problem, although I don't know ho much of a problem that is IRL: I mainly intend to watch + rip dvd's and rip cd's, for which I also have my sony crx140e-bp. Plus I think the slot-in feature is really cool  Any help is appreciated. |

| And:
Ever thought about Toshiba? It's only slow in reading encrypted DVDs (2x-5x CAV)

| sorry man, but the Toshiba's that are currently sold (I think after november 2001) do not have upgradable firmware, so I would be stuck with region protection, for which I pass What's that about not reading cd-r? Cheap cd-r's? that would be bad  |

| I didn't speak of cd-r. I spoke of DVD-R and DVD+R
