> I can afford to buy DVD player. Anthony do whatever you think best. I don't know the DVD technology. What's this DIVX I have been hearing about? Can anyone point me to some place to research these

Jim,

I am totally and completely sold on DVD. The difference between DVD and VHS is enormous. I bought a very nice Toshiba unit. I can also point you towards a site with the best price/service combination around.

DVD is compressed audio/video and provides more than double the resolution of VHS and 70% higher than US television standards. The disks look exactly like CDs. DIVX is a specialised form of DVD promoted by Zenith. You buy the disks and then pay per view by accessing a license provider. I'm not sure if this is by telephone or by internet. Either way, I would rather buy the disks (for an average $16 - once again, I have found a great site for discount disks) or rent (about $3/rental). Each DIVX viewing is about $5, I think. The only benefit is that you don't have to run out to the video store.

For those not interested is this conversation, please accept my apologies. If anyone wants more info or just to reply, I suggest we take it to PM.

Mike
