Not forgetting Ogle of course. it was the first to have menu support, which is important if you have kids who like the special features and games on DVDs. We've watched hundreds of discs using Ogle and Blackbox, and only get stutters if the disc has fingerprints on it. Only two discs were unplayable - both rental copies that looked like they had been cleaned with sandpaper - and only one crashed Ogle. This turned out to be a manufacturing fault in that particular title, which stopped standalone DVD players at the same point. Cheers Daniel
