@JeffyPooh RE: Startup times

"The real issue is the boot-up time for some of these units. If you can't start watching a disc in less than 1 minute from power on, then I wouldn't stand for it. ."

Well you show me a current DVD where I can start watching a film in less than 1 minute. A disc where you don't have to navigate past all the menus, all the legal warnings and sometimes adverts then your comment has some merit. As it stands the boot up time pales into insignificance compared to the time some current DVD disks make you wait before you watch the film itself.
