I am looking for a DVD player that has little to no pause. I just purchased a Sony DVD/VCR for my kids. I'm using it temporarily since my DVD player died. It has pronounced pausing during layer change. My budget is <$200.

Go here and look at the DVD Benchmark reviews, which will usually include the layer change.

Oppo 970-HD

Most Mediatek players won't have a noticeable layer change which includes Oppo 970HD, Sony 75H, Phillips 5982/5960/3960, Pioneer 400v, RCA DRC285, etc.

Denon 3910.

That player is slightly above my $200 limit ;)

Thanks for the great info guys. I'll be researching these a bit more before making my decision.

Thanks again!
