Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to All!
I've been looking for a product that will play PAL DVD's in the USA
and have finally acquired a Cyberhome 300. It works even though it is
jerky at times.
Quite a change from AVS Video Converter which fails more often than
converting and has a Support Group that is both arrogant and
non-responsive. Recommendation -- DON'T USE THEM!
Now that I know it works with the Cyberhome 300 I may upgrade to the
Cyberhome 1600 if it indeed removes jerky motion in at least most of
my other PAL DVD's.
Thanks again, you guys and/or gals have opened-up a whole new vista of
PAL movies for us.
