Whoa!  I was supposed to say a DVD-R player there, sorry.  URL to some:
http://www.videotechplus.com/DVD/DVD.htm  The Phillips DVD825AT for one.
I was thinking more along the lines of Video CD for now and DVD-R drive for
making them much later (if ever, ha-ha).
Anyway, it might be pricey either way you go but to have a DVD player capable of
playing a Video CD also can be in the price range of a good computer video card
with TV-Out and it's no doubt better than going to VHS.  Only thing is, you
would still need the video encoding to get the Mpeg-2 or whatever onto the CD
via a CD-R or CD-RW drive.  More money needed but I was thinking of quality and
the better appliance (DVD vs. VHS for example), especially as time goes by.

This first URL might clear some things up about DVD, the second is news.
