DivX DvD Players

[diplomat696]

Can anyone help me out, I am thinking about purchasing a divx ready dvd player so I can play avi files and divx as well as all other formats straight from disc rather than playing them via s-video as I do right now. Wanted to know if anyone else has one of these, where are the best places to buy them from, how much, that kinda thing.

does noone know anything about divx dvd players? Or am i asking the wrong questions?

Well... here is a list of all of em, that might help your selection a little.

As far as what to get and were to get it I ohnestly have no idea because I don't know anything about divx playing hometheater dvd players nor do I own one. But here is what I would do for any sort of hometheater device. If there is a brand you fancy over others just go for it. I myself really like sony equipment so all of my hometheater stuff is sony. If you have a local place to buy hometheater equipment like costco, bestbuy, curcuitcity, etc get it there. That way it is easier to do returns if you don't like one and want to try another.
If you want to make sure you get a good one I'd just google search the hell out of it. When ever I go for something I have no idea about I just sit and research it for hours. It may sound boring but it actually gets sort of interesting and you will end up being very knowlegable in the subject
Sorry I couldn't be of more help but at least you won't leave completely empty handed 😉

I Just bought a JVC DivX DVD Player from Best Buy, the thing has a memory card reader, plays all formats, xvid, vcd, svcd, dvd all formats etc etc etc, its awesome, I would recommend it to anyone else looking for a dvd player that can do all formats.

-Always put the blame on you first, then on the hardware !!!

 

[diplomat696]

Hi, I am new to this forum but I would like to introduce another model.
Zensonic Z500 Network DVD Media Player.
Specs include HDTV, WMV9 playback, USB 2.0 connection to external HDD/HDMI.
Of course it plays Divx/DivxHD

You can view here www.z500series.com

The Z500 looks awesome! When will this product be available and where can I purchase one?

The Philips DVP 642 works great for the price ($70).

It plays 95% of what I throw at it perfectly. The rest usually have errors which can be fixed using DrDivX.

Everything that I encode with AutoGK 1.60 (DivX 5.2 1490-2040 GB w AC3) plays perfect.
