No problems with DVD Shrink 3.2 (With Nero ROM) Backups with the following media:
BenQ(DAXON...AZ1.8) -- DVD+R
PRINCO -- DVD-R
Prodis..cS03 -- DVD-R
VERBATIM (MCC 01..RG20) -- DVD-R
MAXELL (MXL RG..02) -- DVD-R
RITEK...R03.8 -- DVD+R
LITE-ON (RITEKG..04) -- DVD-R

The Following took a little bit to load (open & close)
IMMATION (RICOHJPNR01.8) -- DVD+R

Fast Forward button combined with Skip is a bit of a bother, but bareable. Default to Widescreen TV mode, but switched to 4:3 Letterbox without problems.

Connectiors:
- Digital Coaxial Out (Dolby Digital/DTS)
- Component Video Out
- Analog Out
- S-Video Out

Bought at Futureshop.ca with 4 year extended (PSP) warranty for additional $20 USD.

I am very pleased with this dvd player. It has played every SVCD and CD-R I've tried with no problems.

Garbage... has problems playing a large number of my Dvd+R's and Dvd-R's... This is pretty bad when my 3 year old Samsung plays better than this. The remote is also HORIBLE to use... I can't believe they put the rewind/fast forward buttons with chapter skips... makes it a real pain when you want to backup and go forward a bit. Would I buy this for playing burnt dvd's... NO... Would I buy this player for playing boughten movies.

I've bought this player to replace my Samsung M101. So far, it's played all of my backups without any problems. Here's my setup:
LG-4082 burner
CloneDVD at 1x / Nero Express 6 at 2x
DVD Shrink 3.x
E3Works DVD-R 4x / Memorex DVD-R 4x media

The only thing I don’t like about the player has nothing to do with the player. It’s the remote. The fast forward and chapter skip use the same button. So, in order to fast forward, you have to hold the chapter skip until the x2, x8, etc shows up on the screen. The same goes for the rewind and previous chapter button. It’s a good thing that my old remote from the M101 works great for this player, especially where the fast forward and chapter skip have their own buttons.
