Player or Media Revisited

I've been pretty happy with Ritek's

My Philips 724 I just got plays everything. The only problem with it is that it doesn't play CC.

F0sgateman I use an Apex 3201 for my progressive scan player (hooked up to my 53" Pioneer HDTV). Works nice, and plays everything I throw at it. Padre

Have you both tried these players with Ritek Media or Optodisc? I don't plan on using Optodisc anymore but I do have a few movies that are only on the first 3 gigs of the DVD and figure they don't skip now so should be ok. I'd like to make sure when I get a new player it will play the cheaper media, not the cheapest, but cheap (1.20-2.00 range) Thanks

I mainly use Ritek media and it plays in my Philips 724, Apex 703, Ge 5803, Yamakawa and Pioneer 434. The Pioneer is more picky about how the DVD is authored.

I use PrimeDisc, which are in fact RitekG3 media. They work fine in my two Apex players, one Samsung, one Sony and one Panasonic portable. I've never used OptoDisc.

I've checked a few that you 2 mentioned, I think I may try the philips model, it's not very expensive for the features and does mention DVD+RW playback. Thanks for the help guys.
