What's the quality like on these cheap DVD players? I'm in Australia and I test my DVD encodes on a number of players and I've found that the cheap 'made in China' players exhibit serious macroblocking on DVDs even when the video bitrate reaches 8 Mpbs!

I guess that's a compromise between being able to watch a PAL DVD and not, but I'd rather watch it on my PC than have to endure sub-par picture quality...
