| Cumwhipper Senior Member  4050 Posts 3/04 |  Posted - Aug 7 2006 : 8:04AMOkay - I've driven my current player into the ground! It's starting to not even play some discs - most disappointingly, the new "Feeding Frenzy #8", which plays just fine on my PC's DVD drive. My current player is a Zenith DVB216 - It's got progressive scan (probably de rigeur on all players these days), frame-by-frame, zoom, A-B repeat, and most importantly, a shuttle ring on the remote, which allows for playback at variable speed - from frame-by-frame all the way through 1/2 speed. I'd like all the same features if possible. Maybe even a region-free player. Not really interested in a Blue Ray player, unless it's backward compatible with today's standard DVDs Any suggestions of players that meet all my needs and will play almost anything? Thanks!

| pinc_noiz Deactivated User 758 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Aug 9 2006 : 3:39AM It does directly and by remote p_n [Link] |
| Cumwhipper Senior Member 4050 Posts 3/04 | Posted - Aug 9 2006 : 8:02AM After reading many very positive reviews, I went ahead and ordered the OPPO DV-970HD Universal DVD Player Should get here in a few days. No shuttle/jog on the remote, but basically everything else I need, and several reviews talk about the crisp, clear picture - sounds like a pornhound's dream. I'll post back with a review after I have a chance to road test it. I really just want to be able to watch "Throat Gaggers #10" all the way through without freezing and skipping - particularly the Kaci Starr scene (probably the hottest in the movie). [Link] |
| pinc_noiz Deactivated User 758 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Aug 9 2006 : 12:38PM Far more important however (IMHO): you're able to watch movies again, so I hope you're reviews of those will be forthcoming (my no.1 guidance). Have fun! p_n [Link] |
| Cumwhipper Senior Member 4050 Posts 3/04 | Posted - Aug 13 2006 : 9:25AM Good news: Not so good news: Bottom line - I have to get used to a few differences. For some scenes. I might have to hook my Zenith back up, just so I can use the shuttle ring. It will be fun re-watching some favorite scenes with the new clearer picture. Almost like rediscovering some of them.

| pinc_noiz Deactivated User 758 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Aug 13 2006 : 9:48AM aw, shoot: now you're going to see all the DVDs with faulty visuals even better ... p_n [Link] |
| Cumwhipper Senior Member 4050 Posts 3/04 | Posted - Aug 13 2006 : 9:57AM I must tell you, watching Throat Gaggers and being able to discern every tear that flows down each girl's face, and seeing tiny droplets of spittle that have landed on the camera lens is a revelation. I'll have to watch the Kylee King scene from "Gag Factor #20" today. I can't imagine that scene being any better than I remember it, but who knows? [Link] |

| grlcrz7 Member 20 Posts 8/03 | Posted - Sep 26 2006 : 12:20PM I'm having a hard time finding a player for .wmv movie files. I'm looking for a player with HDMI, plays 480, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DivX. I've read some about your player and it looked like a nice system. Any refferal for a player for .wmv would be helpful.

| Cumwhipper Senior Member 4050 Posts 3/04 | Posted - Sep 26 2006 : 6:33PM I will say that overall, I'm still very pleased with the Oppo. I still miss the shuttle ring, though. It was a perfect tool for scanning at slower speeds. Oh well, the picture is so clear it just about makes up for it! [Link] |
