I wished there were more dual players out there. I'm hesitant to recommend Samsung after my experience with the 1200. I ended up throwing it in the trash (literally).
BTW, not all HD DVDs are VC-1 some are also H.264 (AVC), and a few are MPEG-2. I like AVC, and thinks its as good as VC-1. I could live with either. I also think both formats are going to be around for a while.
Support both formats, and enjoy movies.

The Samsung players have been testing very well, I don't know about the LG players but the LG BH200 is a dual player also.

  It had problems-it wouldn't play Blu-Ray discs it was supposed to, it had lip sync issues with lossless audio on some discs, it froze up frequently, and it skipped frequently. It also had handshake issues. It played DVDs very well. When I updated the FW so it could do the Fox titles, the handshake issue got so bad, it couldn't play a whole movie even DVDs, which weren't a problem before. While I *might* have been in the minority of 1200 owners, there were enough other people who also had various problems, to at least imply it wasn't a fluke.

    Thanks. Interesting, to say the least.

      I've had the 1200 for a few months and haven't had a single glitch, except for one very scratched up "Reservoir Dogs" disc I got from NetFlix. It skipped for about a thirty second span and then worked fine.

        Will not play many Blue-ray discs. Updates unavailable on DVDs. Have shipped same incorrect update 3 times. Will not play any CDs. Support is a joke. Will not honor warranty. I could go on and on. Do not buy any Samusung product.
