These days, I suspect a new video player would cost a lot more than a DVD player...

Yep, agree with both (though DVD recorder may cost slightly more, which comes with VHS automatically?). FWIW, if you were commenting on "cheap", I was referring to buying films/shows, I probably should have made that clear.

can be avoided with the right software
