I bought this DVD player thinking "Wow. Brand name player at a really good price." Then I got home and used it. Some DVD's played with no problem. But it was more likely that I would see 1 second freezes in the video (not the audio) and sometimes you would get horribly distorted images. Definitely would recommend not buying until GE can get their act together and test their products before selling them.

This Player may not be the best one around, but at ~130 USD it gives more than you pay for. It wraps up pretty much every standard feature you get on DVD players. The only glitch: video playback will freeze (seldom) the image for less than a second. I noticed the glitch after almost two hours of playback, and it's not a big deal. In fact, you'll feel like in you're at a movie theater and they switched reels, only without the warning spots... =)

So, good price, good product... I'd buy it if you're a movie fan and like to spend not-too-much on hobbies...

I bought my G.E. DVD player about a year ago and I really didn't use it very much most of my movies are still VHS, so I'm really discouraged from by any more G.E. products with what I have read and from what is happening with mine. At first it would take in the disc and every once in a while-while it was loading it would lock up. Then it started freezing a ways into the movie, and I had to power it down and it wouldn't run any more until it cooled off some, so I let it sit when every it did this very annoying though. Now it is taking in the disc says it is loading and never does you can hear the little motor working, eventually it stops and tells me there is no disc. I figured since it isn't working for me anyway I'd remove the cover and see what it was doing and I loaded a disc and watched it. You can see the motor is working, but it isn't turning the disc you can kind of jump start it by carefully turning the disc while it is in place and it will play the movie, but only for about 5 minutes and then it just says disc and no picture. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone as many people that have had the same or similar problems with this you would think that G.E. would be concered about what was going on and how they could improve it. I gave it three stars, because it was working okay for a little bit, but guys I don't consider this a use a few times and throw away product. I just expected more from G.E. than I should of I guess. Hope my information helps someone. If anything show some people they aren't alone.

I have had this player for about two weeks now - I am extremely disappointed with the performance. The first night that we used the player, about two hours into play I experienced numerous frame freezes, which interrupted not only my video, but also the audio. I thought it might be the DVD until I tried a second DVD and had the same problem. I truly expected more from General Electric in quality and performance. I would not recommend the purchase of this player to anyone.

Yes, it does glitch a little.

Yes, the price is right.

No, it won't last forever. I just got The Godfather DVD Collection, and after 1 hour play on EACH disc, the player froze. Strange, since the discs work just fine in my iBook.

The problem is that now I can't watch any of my movies, it glitches more than it used to, and on most of my discs it freezes.

I guess I'll have to spend a little more, but get a first quality SONY or Panasonic Player.... maybe a PIONEER.
