I Totally agree with you...

Just give a stand alone DVD Player a try - there are even some low-cost players around which are capable of playing those media !
And some rather rare ones are capable of playing SVCDs with the DVBs Streams on them (no re-encoding) - so called X-SVCD !
Just have a look at http://www.vcdhelp.com/dvdplayers.php for some tests...

I had to make the same decision and I was always searching for an all-in-one solution with the DVBs Card - but now I bought a CYBERHOME (I know they have bad critics sometime) DVD Player for 388,- DM which really fulfills all my wishes - DVD / VCD / MP3 / SVCD / CD / X-SVCD (yes with the DVBs Stream re-muxed to svcd packet sizes via mplex)
