  Pioneer, or [better yet] later models from Sony.

  I really don't know...the only data point I can provide is that I have
the last Trek movie, Insurrection, on LD.  It came out in 1998 or
1999, if memory serves.  I don't think I have anything more recent
than that, but I haven't even been looking due to lack of fundage.
