I'm looking for a replacement for the discontinued Samsung SV 5000W.  

A salesperson at buyriteelectronics.com says Fugedaboudit, there's
nothing on the market to take its place, the world has moved to DVDs.

A salesperson at 220-electronics.com says that a viable replacement is
the Samsung SV 6500W in combination with an external converter.
However, his English was not very good, and I couldn't get him to give
me the specs on the 6500.  And I'm not seeing information about it
online.  Has anyone had experience with this technology?

David
