I think a DVD megachanger is not really worth it. DVD menus are painful and slow...I can't imagine making a "playlist" frm movies or concerts - therefore it is very little effort to open the jewel case and load the DVD into the player (after all a movie lasts two hours...)
The reason I use CD Megachangers is that I can play any track I want whenever I want from my listening position (I use a wireless keyboard and I my selection is via an HDTV monitor hooked up to a PC that controls all the audio equipment). Each track is immediately available once the previous track ends (no delay) as the megachangers can be staggered. It only slows down to change a disc if you select a CD from the same changer to follow a track you are already playing in that same changer... basically it performs 95% the equivalent of iTunes at lossless setting without having to burn all my CD's. It is worth it to me as burning CD's is time consuming and I also worry like Cytocycle about hardware crash. (I don't really want to dedicate a noisy RAID system with full backup just for my music collection). OF course, I have been running this for five years.....i.e. I made this decision at a time when hard drives were much more epxensive.
Just my two cents....
