Basically, if they play at all, you're unlikely to actually get Hi-Def output from them. Which is nice when you've spent lots of money on a HD monitor and extra for the HD version of the film...

Oh, and some articles about DVDs not > working with Vista! I believe (from a Gruniad person) that The Times recently revamped their site and have had considerable criticism as a result.
