    Thanks, just what I was looking for though unfortunately a bit expensive for the project. I’ll definitely look at these for some of the projects where I need to sync up six or more machines.

    If anyone has any other suggestions, I’d love to hear them. For example, anyone know of a dual-disc DVD player that will play two at once? There was a company out there making dual VHS machines for awhile though I can’t remember their name. B&H was carrying their products but various searches and browsing hasn’t revealed anything yet.

    Try 2 same model dvd players plus one remote
    Author a black still menu with a transparent button linked to the main program.
    Hit enter on remote to play
    Probably a good idea to have audio on both dvds
    If you require loop back its probably better to author that in rather than
    relying on the dvd players

    That’s pretty much what I do now. I have run shows with 8 DVD players of the same make and model and when the power up they end up syncing up pretty well. I am just hoping to find a solution to get things tighter though using the one remote method is pretty tight. Thanks!
