Dvd Player

[Infested Cats]

I'm looking to buy a new DVD player for my dad for Christmas. I've had my eye on the Philips DVD 724. Know anything about that one? I can get it for about $70 on the net, and it's got great reviews on dvdrhelp.com (http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDnameid=1182&Search=Search&#comments).

Any suggestions/comments?

Looks like no-one has any experience of that one.
If you are going to play mp3 discs, long filename support is essential, that one doesn't support it.

This one (http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.php?DVDnameid=2683&Search=Search&#comments) has a few more features including long filenames, and it's in the same price range. My brother has one and the quality seems excellent.
