DVD Player Differences

[wheezer210]

I have several players my main one is a Pioneer 220-s. The qualty difference this make is impressive. I never really noticed before, but I record tv shows that I am going to miss with an AIW using the vcd set up, that way I can get quite a few shows onto one disk, quality is not all that important with watching shows I enjoy for myself, but with the Pioneer, you would never know it is VCD quality. Unless the footage is paused, you never really see any video anomilies, (and even then they are not very noticible) that would put them into the vcd catagory according to our rating system here.

Now if I play them on one of the other players, then you notice and it is very apparent that they are VCD. Just as there are quality differences in VCR's it is apparently the same with DVD players (recorders) I guess.

Which makes me wonder, if something looks like an 8-8.5 on my player, which most of my sets do, if I trade these with someone else and thier player only displays it in the 7-7.5 quality range, as a set creator, is that my fault?
