Yup ... I'll second Grahams opinion on the 500. It was a reasonable enough
standalone player (but then again so are *ANY* DVD players around at the
moment) but the UI if you wanted to use any of the other features was
somewhat basic to say the least. This carried on through to the "PC
Link"
software which is without a doubt one of the most feature light programs it
has ever been my (dis) pleasure to use.
I had *BIG* hopes for the KISS ethernet equipped players - hell, I was
hoping to use them as a playback end to my DVD server - but nope. There
were
so many restrictions and limitations as to what the player couldn't do that
at the time (and this would have been summer 2002) that we just had to send
the eval units back - and this was with KISS trying to get us to sell the
thing!
Nothing seems to have changed since on either the UI or the PC-Link
software
since then...
