I have been happy with my Toshiba 16x DVD player. I have heard that Pioneer makes good DVD players also.

Pioneer's are great, but I now have a Mitsumi DVD-ROM and it's nice. It's quiet and fast(16x DVD 50x CD). It happens to be an ATA-100 drive. Mitsumi just started making DVD-ROM's and DVD writers recently. I got this one from newegg.com for $33.00.
