The Philips DVDP 642 has been just what I needed. I’ve yet to find a round, shiny disc that it won’t play.

And it’s not always true the worse the player the better support it has, as without a doubt the best value player, be the OPPO OPDV971H, anything less, is well much less. But the Sigmatek XM-400 Pro with the Pioneer DV-470 and DV-575 are good choices too.

And sorry for Off Topic too, John.

‘Then there was Minority Report, a few weeks of work that August terms “almost editing”. “Scott Frank’s script answered a lot of questions. My job was to stop you from asking them, so that the movie could be two hours long, whereas the script was three hours long,” he says. “A lot of it was looking at scenes where a lot of questions were answered and then stepping back 10 pages and figuring out whether there was a thing that could keep you from asking that question. There’s a scene where Colin Farrell asks the question, the first question that occurred to me, ‘How do you know if the crime is going to happen if you stop it?’ So I wrote this scene where Tom Cruise rolls the ball down the table and Farrell catches it.” That, in essence, is the script doctor’s job: fixing particular problems. “To get this thing that doesn’t work to work,” says August. “It’s a chance to help people out of some situation and kind of feel a bit of a hero.”‘

Sorry for OT, John!

I bought one that don’t even have the eject function and it reads everything.

If it doesn’t have the eject function, it’s not that strange that it does read “every” disc! ;)

Stephen, could you please tell us which scene in Minority Report are you referring to? Love that film and didn’t know John had anything to do with it
