I've used this dvd player and it works great and has a lots of codecs for the price I did not have to upgrade and for the price it can't be beat since the newer ones are so expensive and loaded with options that I never used I wanted a cheap simple player that would just work with my old Windows 2000 pro system and it never failed me. Good deal and would reccomend for those who need a player without a load of stuff you will vever use anyway
