HTPC ?

"Plus, Computer DVD's can do HD-DVD's which no standalone dvd player can do right now."

What future A/V systems will need is Windows Media Video 9 decoding for stuff like T2 Extreme and similar releases. Including the WMV codec should be easy to do; today's DVD players and receivers decode everything else.

There's another option out there that may be worth considering. Vinc is selling a DVD player for $200 that has DVI output - the Bravo D1. If your projector has a DVI input, you'll get a HTPC-class image w/o the HTPC! There are some threads about it over at AVS. Search for "Bravo D1"

I recently went to that with my PLV-70 PJ and found out what all the HTPC folks have been crowing about. Incredible improvement in PQ. Yes. Do it one way or the other. IMO.
