Hello All
I have a Pioneer Elite VSX-95 A/V Receiver, JVC SVHS HR-S600U, and Panasonic SVHS AG-1980 with Direct TV. I am looking to add a DVD player to my system and don't have a lot of money to spend.
I thought about adding a DVD to my computer for as little as $150.00 and tying into my system but want decent quality. Would also like to access pictures and files off DVD on computer. I am very green in the DVD technology and prices. I also understand Macrovison comes in to play recording DVD's to VHS.Questions:
What is a good DVD player for he money? (Component or Drive in computer)If component can I access from computer.What is a good device to break Macrovison copy protection on DVD's & VHS tapes?
Thanks in advance

Follow Ups:
I can't comment on a PC DVD player because I don't have any specific experience in that area. I use a Pioneer DV-333 which has been replace by a newer model (and possibly replaced again) but I really like the Pioneer. It's cheap, has good picture quality, and it will also play CD-R discs. I think you can buy one for around $150-$179.On the subject of Macrovision, I use a Go-Video dual deck VCR that is a couple of years old. I can record a DVD with no problems with Macrovision. I have also heard others comment on a device that Sima makes -(a video stabilizer?) that will also do the job. Search the archives under "Sima" and I'm sure something will turn up.
