I was wondering if anyone here could recomend a remote based on the following criteria.

General features
1) Can control a TV, DVD and VCR
2) $70US or lower
3) Backlit keys would be nice, but not necessary
4) Good button layout
5) Not the size of the Titanic

TV features
1) Menu key with 4 way/button pad for navigating onscreen menus for the TV
2) Decent size buttons for volume and channel

VCR features
1) Decent size buttons for play/FF/REW/stop

DVD features
1) Seperate FF/REV/forward chapter jump/reverse chapter jump (my current DVD remote forces me to hold down the forward chapter jump for 2 seconds when I want to FF, which drives me nuts because if I do not hold it down long enough it takes me to the next chapter)
2) Button for Audio selection
3) Button for Caption selection
4) Pause button

Thanks adhead for the imput

Check out the One-for-All Cinema 7 or its Radio Shack counterpart, the 15-1994. Or, you can also consider the RCA RCU-810 or the Sony RM-VL900. The first two are under $30 and the other two are under $50. They may not have all the exact buttons you seek, but are pretty close.
