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.

I've gotten the NEW DVE-612N model. It plays anything and everything. Check out area450.com for more info. 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!

Haven't done any testing with VCD or SVCD yet since I've never made one (plan to soon). 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.

Star player, just released by Sampo America. Works in the UK too but you need a step-down transformer.
