In Reply to: if you have vga input ,dont waste money on dvd player, get a HTPC............... posted by ROB BASE on May 23, 2001 at 16:22:53:
myself included, don't want the hassle of an HTPC. A DVD player makes far more sense for most folks.

I can only state from my position as someone actively engaged in dvd authoring, that there are a lot of pitfalls with DVD use on computer.When authoring if we know that a project is more likely to be used on computer DVD player than on set top player, we firstly limit the data rate. I have a very capable playback system that was more than a few bucks, built into my authoring system (ie very fast computer graphics card) and its fine for doing the job, but I still can get problems with high data rate playbacks, and the system is built for authoring DVD! and cost close to $60,000. Anyone with the money to buy a good set and a good player with RGB or component inputs is well served with DVD. Having the advantage of seeing both the source Digibeta masters and then the final encoded DVD its easy for me to make comparisons. At fairly high data rates the difference is very difficult to see, even if you know what you are looking for, a testament to the quality that DVD is capable of!

A HTPC becomes a distinct advantage for higher resolution FP displays, where the PC can provide scaling capabilities, which a progressive player or DVDO does not.
I use a Quadscan for that however, as it has a better ease of use and less noise, though the results are probably not quite as good.dg
