So while you are not getting the extended SD functionality of the Oppo, you essentially get similar functionality except in HD - which is better anyway. And of course, you also get all the standard upconverting features of the Oppo with the Venturer/Toshiba.

So you'd have to reconvert an xvid to something else (thereby losing further quality, on something already heavily compressed) and it still doesn't play R2 SD-DVDs? I thought that's what I said already.
