Places like the Movie Trading Company here in Dallas sells used DVDs for 5.99 to 12.99 - I choose the buy used route - I get the nice cover, which looks way nicer than a stack of standard DVD covers

I use DVD Decryptor and then DVD2One to make perfect copies of my owned movies, I usually don't include all the special features crap...
I then purchase cheap cases and download my cover inserts from www.cdcovers.cc and print them on a color printer.

Do any of you use a Denon-2200? I have tried making copies of my movies and playing them on this unit, and it doesn't work. I am using a Lite-on burner 8x, latest firmware. I have used numerous types of media as well. It will burn successfully, but when I play it, it will only play for 5-10 minutes, then just stop??!?!
It is extremely frustrating. Has anyone had any experiences with this unit?

Not sure Din, I currently have an older Toshiba Prog. Scan player that has worked great through the years and has a great picture. Not sure what to tell ya about the 2200.

Actually that sounds to me like you've got a lot of errors on the disk. There's two things to check for on a burned disk, which are generally checked simultaneously by any diagnostic software that can check for them. These are PIE and POF (parity inner error, parity outer failure). There's a very brief description of them buried in a huge pdf here on pages 47 and 48. Basically the specification says that a player has to be capable of playing a disk with fewer than 280 consecutive PIEs and if POF > 0 then it can be expected that there will be noticable errors.
The fact that your disk begins to play, and then stops, would say to me that you're burn has a ton of errors in it. I'll have to look around to find something you can scan one of your burns with to check for PIE/POF (I use PlexTools, which comes with my plextor drive.) Very high PIE or any POF can be caused by a lousy drive, but generally I would say it's caused by over-speed burning of media, or low quality media. I won't burn a DVD faster than 2.4 speed, even if it should be rated for it, and my burns end up in the region I would call "excellent" which is Max consecutive PIE < 20 and POF = 0. Something to look into anyway, if the player just had a problem with burned DVDs, it wouldn't recognize them at all. It cutting out like that really points to bad burns.

Din...I use a Denon 2900 and have found that the quality of the media is very important to this player.
