CVD? $80 N/A 9 of 10 Comments: I agree with an earlier poster - this should be the drive people are talking about - not the Apex. I bought several of the Apex and all had problems with normal dvd disc playback. One movie had a minute scratch that gave both Apex players trouble. My 4 year old Panasonic outplayed the Apex every time. This Sampo has no trouble with such scratches. Region disable was so simple with the remote that I did it before I hooked it up to the TV - my Australian dvd (I'm in the US) plays flawlessly. I would give it a 10 if it had Optical Audio output. I haven't tried it on anything other than normal dvds.

So far I haven't been able to turn of Macrovision, but I'm sure someone will come up with a hack soon. I'm very impressed with how well this player plays anything I've thrown at it. I had some PAL DVD's from Europe that wouldn't play on my old hacked SMC player, but this Sampo played them just fine. Will play jpg, raw mpeg, mp3's. This is a great player at a VERY affordable price. A little hard to find. I really don't know why Apex is so popular, this should be the DVD player that everybody is talking about!

But, I wanted to affirm that it does play VBR MP3. I've only tried one brand of CDR, but it's not a great brand (KHypermedia) so I'm assuming that it will handle others as well. I bought it mainly for the ability to hack it.
