Poor quality MPEG encoders that made the laserdiscs they were replacing seem superior, non-anamorphic encodes (how stupid was that?), region coding (studios needed to control the format and what you could watch), firmware updates (Uh, like my computer?) on several models that wouldn't play big $ releases, no recording at the start (If it was going to replace the VCR, shouldn't it have been able to record?), DVD-R/+R issues when recording did come around, etc.Should I go on? Like I said, cluster-fuck.
