I'm seeking a budget DVD player with all of these features:-

1) Region 1 playable, with good NTSC picture on PAL.
2) Infinite zoom (in and out) or at least x1, x2, x3.
3) JPEG (.jpg) still picture playable from cd-r.
4) at least x15 fast forward search speed.
5) Adjustable audio dynamic range (compression).
6) Region/Macrovision disable.
7) VCD playback.

finally
8) good picture :-)

Am I living in cloud-cuckooland or is there really such a player for less than 120 quid? Please enlighten me ;-)

Yes but you may have to go back in time to get one. The day after boxing day i bought a Bush DVD player with DD5.1 sound for £99!!!

It has no mention about regions, but i have been asured that it is a all region player. Im not sure about the JPEGS but it will sertainly play MP3's, VCD's and any MPEG file on a disc. It also has x16 FF and some good zoom features (one of them if stangly 3x zoom out )

It is a really good player for £100 but the day after i went to PC World they had sold out, so im not sure if they are getting stocks back in or if it was a one off.

What about RGB SCART, not all do and is probably one of the most important features on a DVD Player.

Forget the 'Zoom', you don't need it.
